Enfant Terrible

Your Emaciated Face

We’ve been hearing a lot about Peaches lately, with her upcoming shows in Auckland and Wellington.

Wellington’s Red Steers is the latest signing to the A Low Hum label. Like most people, I was very intrigued to find out a bit more about this band. The first thing I found out was that Red Steers is the work of solo musician Daniel Johnston. I posed a few question to […]

Willard Grant Conspiracy

“Mysterious, isn’t it”

The Exact Moment The Cymbal Crashes

Screaming female noise rock from Chicago. These guys are possibly the most underground indie band we’ve ever featured on Einstein Music Journal.
There’s hardly any information about Mayor Daley, the only information I have is that the band is named after the current mayor of Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley. […]

Raw and powerful, their post punk stomping provides a fast electric journey complete with African rhythms, and the screeching vocals of […]
