Christina Aguilera ft. M.I.A.
Don’t Give Me Slack Wait! I see you running away in horror after reading this title, but trust me, it’s not as bad as you might think. To be honest it’s just like Kick Kick Snare said – it feels more like M.I.A. featuring Christina, not the other way round. But semantics aside, the Switch-produced […]

Transistors
Children Of The Damned If the Transistors were in London in 1978 I’m sure they would have been one the biggest bands of the British punk movement. Unfortunately they weren’t, instead they popped their head up in 2009 to steam roll the New Zealand punk scene. They’ve already impressed one old-time NZ punk and with […]

Dharma
Post-Mental Anaconda If you’ve sat around in a smoky post-mental state at any point in your lifetime then there’s a good chance that you will be able to relate to Dharma’s wretched mutant grime-pop. This is the type of noise you’d expect to hear if HEALTH, Sun Araw, TFF and Caribou met in the […]

Warpaint
Nomadic Dreamers These four girls from Los Angeles make wonderfully exquisite post-punk music. However we’ve been a little bit slow to catch on to their kindled success, in their short career they’ve already been featured in NME, The New York Times, The Guardian and Dazed and Confused, plus they have been picked up by Rough […]

TEETH
Extremism Is Purple Glitchy fucked-up noise punk from Dalston, England. TEETH combine the spazzy apocalyptic rhythms of HEALTH with the bootsy dance beats of the English underground DIY grime scene. Their music is akin to an infestation of vermin, all filthy and infested with obnoxious bugs, but for those of us who like nasty […]

Farms
I don’t wanna go to school today Farms is Ben Larsen and Andy Todryk from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, who make face-melting psychedelic jams in basements in snow covered forests. Their songs, with Ben on keyboard and Andy (also of Vacation Dad) on drums, hint at math rock, chugging riffs flaunted with ultra squiggly and twinkly […]

Las Robertas
Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue 2009 was the year of the lo-fi girl-punk explosion, remember Vivian Girls, PENS, Wet Dog, Liechtenstein, Grass Widow, Dum Dum Girls and Pearl Harbor. Well it’s now rolled over into 2010 and there’s another band to add to that list of scuzzy all-girl groups. Las Robertas hail from San […]
