THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN AND MESHUGGAH TEAM UP FOR EUROPEAN TOUR - Our generation is lucky enough to experience one more stunning event in human history (so says this very subtle press release) : two of the most important bands of our time are teaming up for an exceptional clash of the titans. Yes, it is true: THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN (USA) and MESHUGGAH (Sweden) will embark on a co-headlining tour through Europe during November. Both bands are well known for polyrhythmic music far beyond the imagination of sane listeners and explosive, energetic and memorable live shows. A complete listing of UK tour dates / cities can be found below. More than fans are looking forward to this powerful match-up; the bands themselves also can’t wait to hit the road together.  THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN says of the tour: "MESHUGGAH are our brothers from another mother. This tour makes so much sense. Like flies on shit or white on eggs or something. We are very excited to play on foreign shores again".  Both bands are currently working on new albums, MESHUGGAH in their own studio in Sweden, and THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN in L.A. with producer Steve Evetts.  THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN/ MESHUGGAH Tour Dates are November 3rd - Portsmouth, Pyramid Centre, 4th - Sheffield, Corporation, 5th - Birmingham, Academy 2, 6th - Manchester, Academy 2, 7th - Glasgow, Garage, 8th - Newcastle, Academy, 9th - Bristol, Academy, 10th - London, Astoria

John on the phone...

Part 33 of the ORG-AN-ISED SINGLES SERIES is a split single featuring HERZOGA and TO THE BONES. Herzoga are from Stoke, self confessed makers of “wrong pop”, To The Bones are an urgent alternative guitar band from Bolton (haven't we said all this once already?). Both bands have had Demo Of The Week reviews on these Organ pages in recent weeks. The single will  feature two tracks from each band and a whole loads of bonus extras just because we can, The single is released on July 9th, as with all the single series releases, cost is a mere £2.00 (inc P&P in the UK for those who wish to mailorder rather than buy it in a shop or at a gig...). That's about an hour's worth of exciting cutting edge genre defying music for just two quid The single is a limited edition of 1000 (as all ORG-AN-ISED SINGLES are).

What's it all about? Simple, just good music, and the art of good video making...  Same musical policy as we've always had with Organ - the labels are just handy signposts, as long as the music and video making has that X factor - expect a healthy eye/earboiling mix of metal, punk, prog, beats, post rock, post punk, post man pat, hardcore, indie, alternative, pronk, whatever..... music and creativity for the open minded 
 

DEMO OF THE WEEK
MR PHORMULA and LEWS TEWNS – Now what is going on here? No idea, trippers with tactics and wonky wax mixes wrapping straight jackets around your brain. More hip-hop and angry beats, straight out of Wales looking like some mutthafuggin role models. Don’t come here with your couch potato blight. More issues that Dafydd Iwan with a megaphone and an Overload X fixation - burning down far more than your holiday cottage. Bi-lingual ‘cause it Is all just word right – here you come with that sheep shagging shit but remember this, they do ‘em on Friday you eat them on Sunday, don’t look too closely at that gravy now. Mr Phormula is out of what Lews says is/was one of the best Welsh language bands ever – Pep Le Pew (better than Crys? Can’t be!). Hey look, most of this is in English, all of this is cool, excellent lyrics that will have you paying total attention  – tales from Wales and Cymraeg is so right for rhyming and ducking and diving, bake beans and bullets. A whole album of it and such well crafted beats and tunes - impressive. Two Welsh guys rocking it old skool, taking you on a journey, like a magic toadstool... excellent tunes, excellent music, fine lyrics, fine fine fine and rather recommended - www.lewstewns.com / www.myspace.com/lewstewnswonkywax / www.myspace.com/mrphormula

ALSO CHECK OUT
HOUSEHOLD – Driving new wave (no-wave) punk rock from Scotland, urgent and rather dynamic, tight and focused yet rather messy in a healthy way. Shouty man, girl drummer adding words, boy bass played adding more - fizz, lo-fi buzz and scratchy angular guitars and slightly discordant and right there in your face. This is good, they have an edgy edge of their own, an edge that could well push you over the edge. Really good packaging as well, I like it when a band takes the time to get the artwork right, shows they care a little more about life and such don’t you think? www.myspace.com/inthehousehold

FLIES ARE SPIES FROM HELL – The Mountain Language EP - Another demo then, third that’s turned up here now I think (maybe the forth). More instrumental post-rock flavoured progressive composition from the Chichester band and lots of those tiny-epic explosions in the godspeed. Next Hour is the stand out track of three here, suffering a little in terms of recording quality, can you do epic instrumental post-rock in a lo-fi way? Flies clearly have loads of ambition, they need to add a little finger print of their own now though, they’re kind of treading water a little and there’s suddenly a lot of bands about who’ve worked out the same formula. Time to up the stakes a little and give us something with a bit more identity, something that doesn’t sound like a lot of things we’ve already heard in recent times  - the signs are here, the sublime old school prog feel to the start of King Sly that blends so well with the almost glitchy texture of the drums. I really like Flies Are Spies, I really like this new set of demo recordings, I like the way they add a hint of old school prog to their post-rock epicness, they have some truly beautiful moments here, Flies are a fine band, but they really need to push it now though, too many bands content to just sound like the big names of post-rock  - www.myspace.com/fliesarespiesfromhell

SOUL DESTROYER – Sound like an old school trad metal band band from around 1983 messing with The Prodigy’s machines in a rather obvious way, lyrics are a little dumb, we’ll leave it with you, here’s a link if you’re interested - www.myspace.com/souldestroyerband

KIARA SCURO – Well they certainly want to sound a little different, kicks off and demands instant attention with a great big sizzing bleeping siren of a synth riff over a punky guitar attack. A three piece from London who are threatening to be rather infectiously good while they stomp all over you. Bit of a Franz/Bloc Party undercurrent, tougher sounding though... Here Come The Razorsnakes will probably be all over the radio in the not too distant future - www.myspace.com/kiarascuro

IYE – In Shrouds Of Confusion, A Promise Was Made – Only one track on this demo, it is just over twenty three minutes long though. so I guess one track is enough. Instrumental ambient post-rock and another set of Silver Mount Godspeed flavours, not quite so obvious this time though, they’re taking their own sweet time and threatening to go down a slightly different path. Iye are a five piece from Stoke On Trent, they add a slight menace to the usual Godspeed/Red Sparrowes euphoria. Iye are half way there, no, hang on things are getting rather too familiar again, these instrumental post-rock bands are going to have to take another step forward soon, the sound is good but they’re all using the same chords sequences and rhythms and textures and, as fine as Iye are, things are getting a little predictable... www.myspace.com/iyemusic

ALBUM OF THE WEEK
WEEDEATER – God Luck And Good Speed (Southern Lord) – Now what the hell do you think a band called Weedeater are going to sound like? Yeap you got it Sherlock, they sound like they’ve eaten a whole load of weed for tea and now they’re figuring out where to place their chord-forming fingers next while they stomp on those superfuzzedmuthafugga peddles and Sabbath right at your booming gut. Super-sludged and megaheavy, produced by Steve Albini this time around, the first two albums were Billy Anderson productions. Albini gives them a freer feeling, raw and loose yet massively expansive, one great bit edgy gigantic head-messing rewarding whole.  Out of the ashes of Buzzov-en, a three headed doom monster fronted by a man called Dixie and just when you think you’ve got them pinned down and pigeonholed as more doomed-out stoner rockers, they go and caress you with an inspired slice of Southern picking and a minimal piece of bluegrass blues called Alone.  Alone is probably like nothing you ever heard before – quite beautiful. And then they sludge it right at you again Orange Goblin style before taking you right down to the depths and grab your last breath before you can take it yourself with a beast of a riff heavy monster called Dirt Mechanic. Ah look, there’s loads of this stoner doom kicking around, most of it along the same lines – most of it is good, most of it very generic, most of it you don’t honest need in your life – as long as you got a bit of St Vitus, a slice or two of High On Fire, your supply of Eyehategod close to hand and your Sabbath fix when you need it then you’re pretty much sorted  - you need this though. Damn fine sludged-out filthy dirty version of ZZ Top’s Give me Back My Bullets, thought it sounded familiar – righteously good version! File this album in the dirty filthy Southern doom section, go praise the lord and pass me that square whisky bottle there for this review has ended with all the godspeed and good luck needed , they are the weedmonkeys and this is a stoner rook classic. www.myspace.com/weedeater. Pick up a copy in the UK via Southern distribution at www.southern.net

ALSO CHECK OUT
EYVIND KANG – Athlantis (Ipecac) – Eyvind Kang has played viola with Mr Bungle and Secret Chiefs, he’s arranged for Laurie Anderson, he’s collaborated with a whole load of interesting people/bands (and spent time in Bad Brains pits) this is his eight album. A rewarding classical epic, an avant hybrid of Arvo Part, Ligeti, of choirs, and soloists, of dark voices, minimal drones, gigantic operatic drama, Gregorian chants, Renaissance textures, medieval plainsong, haunting, minimal passages – monastery-like and really rather beautiful. This doesn’t really sound like it should be coming at us via a rock label (even if it is Ipecac), sounds like it should be there alongside the more challenging classical composers like John Adams – good that it is then. The work is something of an oratorio, lead voices Mike Patton and Jessika Kenney get it so right - a rather remarkable performance from Mr Patton actually, you can just about hear the tiniest inflection of rock singer, which make it stand out just a little from the more formal classical voice you would expect with work like this, makes it just a little more human and approachable. There are lots of things in this piece that will probably sound familiar to those who know their avant/contemporary classical music, this is a rather beautiful and rewarding album though, something really rather special and highly recommended. Available in Europe via Southern – www.southern.net

GIRAFFE RUNNING – Giraffe Running  (Red-F/Learn To Live) - Now this is rather different, rather intriguing, and yes it works. Let me explain, Giraffe Running are a two piece instrumental band from Dublin, and this is a rather fascinating two CD set – it looked good from the start, excellent packaging and inviting artwork. Designed by Matthew Bolger of the rather excellent Redneck Manifesto and hand printed at Dexterity press in Chicago by Jeff Mueller (Shipping News/June Of ’44). So anyway, this two piece band, Giraffe Running (great name, bet they eat leaves and run oh so very fast), Greg Barrett (bass guitar) and Hag (Drums) – yeah, that’s all, bass and drums. So Greg and Hag make this rather fine, rather different bendy pronky post-rock-ish instrumental music that really doesn’t sound like anything or fit anywhere that obvious. I guess if we were going to vaguely namedrop in the interests of pointing you vaguely in the right direction then we might mention Battles or Don Cab or even Monkey Boy or Rothko, nothing really like any of that really though – vague signposts. So they recorded a five track album of clever instrumental compositions featuring only drums and bass guitar, an album that would have been impressively good by itself had they just gone and released it – but no, that was only the start. The duo then sent off the tracks to friends and admired musicians, who then in turn added guitars, vocals, violins and all kinds of extra musical dimensions. People like Ian Williams from Battles, Agata from Melt Banana, Max Tundra, Eoin Dillon (Kila), Bryn Cloke (Montana Pete) and a whole load more. The second CD features the results, 15 collaborations – the original tracks embellished in all kinds of fascinating ways, all held together by the now rather familiar bass and drum lines. The skeletons taken to a whole host of colourful places, dressed in different coloured flesh and out in all kinds of different directions. All rather intriguing, and yes it works in a rather rewarding and strangely beautifully fascinating subtle idiosyncratic set of ways, well worth checking out – www.girafferunning.com

HARPIES – Lily Wry (Fortune And Glory) - Finally got our hands on the new Harpies album then (50p down the Record And Tape Exchange, no doubt sold off my some journo or radio DJ who got it free and couldn’t be bothered to actually listen). Been out a couple of months but hey, better later than never and when did good music ever come with a sell by date anyway? We’ve always had good things to say about Harpies, well back in their early demo/single days at least, kind of lost touch with the Birmingham band in recent times, completely missed their first album - this is their second. Still the Harpies we knew back then then, that skin peeling metalcore and the abrasive smell of confrontation, scathing brutal beauty yet again. Fronted by the terrifying voice of Nicola Honey, she sounds like she takes no shit from anyone, sounds in complete control – soothing and seductive one minute, ripping your mind apart with her violent aggression the next. Tiresome comparisons to Tarrie B are an insult, Nicola sounds like she’s rip her apart as well. Her band still taste of nu metal, they always did have an edge though, never did have any regard for the rulebook, the light and shade is deliciously dramatic – intelligent progressions, delicate and way left of centre, the obvious route that so many others choose to take is not for these Harpies – shape-shifting charm and calm before the left-field brutal storm of screams and pummelling riffs, some genuinely beautiful moments, bravely different – almost gothy but that’s lazy of me as well, they’re really not that easy to pin down. A million miles ahead of the obviousness of all those girl fronted goth-metal band. There’s some genuinely surprising moments here, this is a quality metal album from a fine band who really deserve the attention of you metalheads far far more than a lot of bands we could mention -  www.myspace.com/harpies

RECOIL – SubHuman (Mute) - Back after a six years with a new album, this time Alan Wilder collaborating with New Orleans bluesman Joe Richardson as well an English singer Carla Trevaskis. The result is a sublime cross pollination of murky low slung mellow blues and Portishead-ish sub dub n’ beats that come laced with the finest of warm inviting seductive detail.  Dark, refined, whispered, ambient, eclectic, blended, uncluttered yet complex and really rather fine... And then when you dip a little deeper in and start to explore the questions he/they are asking – the essence of being human, subordinate – subhuman, then there’s a whole set of fresh layers to unpeel.  As impressive as you’d expect a Recoil album to be and as different as you’d expect as well, rather fine on several levels www.mute.com / www.recoil.co.uk / www.myspace.com/recoil

THE COLUMBOS – Thousand Ways To Look Clever (Regain) – They’re from Sweden, they play energetic alternative infectious indie pop with a quirky slightly psychedelic edge, a kind of slightly cooler/more geeky Weezer for Lilys fans. www.regainrecords.com

MANSBESTFRIEND – Poly.sci.187 (Anticon) – Tim Holland’s other alias, he’s better known as Sole. Mansbestfriend is where he gets to play with instrumental hip-hop textures and cut up sound bites. Human strife and political contradiction, rhythmic cross pollination. Hip-hop collage and ambient free-flow, a melange of textures and rhythms, sound bites that flow and never really infringe. Mellow electronica, intelligent composition, mostly instrumental, rich textures – glowing fizz and crackle, not too much glitch, all rather refined. And you know Anticon releases are always of a certain standard, always a label to take note of. www.anticon.com / www.soleone.org

SHAPED BY FATE – The Unbeliever (In At The Deep End) – They appear on the face of it to be a rather standard issue modern-ish sounding extreme metal/hardcore crossover of a beast, until that is they flick a switch six tracks in and decide to grab themselves some identity and make some attempt to stand out from the crowd a little. We were getting ready to hit the eject button when the ambition of My Sun Set To Rise Again kicked in with some rather moody smouldering and potentially epic intent. Shaped by Fate have been kicking around the metal underground for a few years now, they’re from South Wales and ultimately My Sun ends up going nowhere. The promise led us into a six minute instrumental then, disappointingly, they came charging back at us with their growling hardcore pitbull vocals and rule obeying constructions again. Shaped By Fate are pretty good at doing the blistering bleeding modern extreme crossover metal thing, as good as anyone of a number of bands we could mention – and thereby hang the problem, heard it all so many times already. Shaped By Fate hint at an ability to do so much more yet they seem content to just conform to the genre standard and fit in with the crowd and as a result they’ve made and album that does really excite like it should – www.iatde.com

MOTHER AND THE ADDICTS – Science Fiction illustrated (Chemikal Underground) – Well now, second album and a whole other edgy stew of Fall and Joy Division and Aztec Camera and Orange Juice and all kinds of 80’s new wave and funk and pop. Right now it sounds like Ian Bunnyman  fronting Haircut 100 and bits of krautrock flavoured agit pop and Heaven 17 and a every bit of the 80’s and long coats and earnest boys and OMD all crammed in to every song . Now it sounds like Kajagoogoo and where’s the eject button, the 80’s were crap....

CENTRIFUGE – A Document Of Selected Works (We Like Danger) – Edgy alternative post-punky indie guitar rock, this is good, where have this band been hiding? They’re from Stoke on Trent as well, damn, they’ve split up! Oh well... Infectiously awkward edgy rewarding raw and tasty in a complex way where it needs to be. If they hadn’t split up a earlier this year then we’d going on far more about this rather tasty home made album. Damn. This is an ever optimistic optimist club though, this is a fine album and well worth you checking out. Seems some of them are now in a band called Ox Scapula. www.myspace.com/centrifuge

STILL REMAINS – The Serpent (Roadrunner) – More of that over-slick modern metal with everything piled in there with the kitchen sink and the screamo nice polite/monster growl vocals and the melodic keyboards and the Trivium battle metal riffs and the moody bits and the Hawthorn Height bits and the Bullet For My Whatever and guess they do it rather well and hey the Download sheep will happily part with their money and no doubt be more than satisfied with what they get, can politely leave it with you and cynically smile now please? www.stillremains.com

MAN OF THE HOUR – Destroy The Machines Of Slaughter (No Face) – From Scotland with some no messing proper old school power/thrash metal pounding. Plenty of chug and scream and an Armoured Saint feel (that’s a serious complement). Think Pantera, think Priest, and a singer with a name like Tommy Concrete has to be worth checking out – yeap, metal thrashing good! www.manofthehour.co.uk

FARRAH – Cut Out And Keep (Lojinx) – I like Farrah, they’re extremely infectious live, hard not to smile at a Farrah gig. Infectiously slick bubble gum flavoured indie pop rock, squeaky clean. Extremely slick and just a little quirky around the edges. Carefree, breezy, upbeat, bright, slick slick slick – alright, that’s enough of the slickness and the sugar now – www.farrah.co.uk

HEMLOCK – Bleed The Dream (Candlelight) – Out of Las Vegas and yet another band called Hemlock, this time we’re talking violently pounding hardcore thrashcore metalcore hatecore brutality – core! No messing, straight at your head Hatebreed styleeeee. Muscled up, pounding, this is ugly - brutal breakdowns, relentless and ugly is in the case good. A brutally heavy onslaught of relentless hardcore metal – www.hemlockworld.com / www.candlelightrecords.co.uk

SINGLE OF THE WEEK
ZAN PAN – Sirens Of Titan/Swati (Pigeon Coup) – Sirens is a large slice of completely and utterly self indulgently preposterously over the top epic operatic fest of 70’s glam rock riffs and new wave prog rock. Bowie messing with Meat Loaf and bats out of hell via Roxy and The Adverts and Hawklords and Megahype and Nik Turner style space rock and a doomed relationship between a stuntman and a 50’s monster b-movie monster queen out on freeway 59 somewhere beyond infinite suns and the Sirens of Titan and we’re gonna hit the highway like a battering ram on a silver black phantom bike and time to end this sentence now. The Squire of Somerton’s volcanic supergroup and some rocky horror transverberation where the super suns collide at the end of time - or the back row of the show you’ve seen twenty times already – a work of genius. Swati meanwhile is all pastoral and petal sweet and reflective and “the end is a mathematical puzzle where all the parts come together in a schizoid harmonic union” – brilliant, that’s what we call a single – www.myspace.com/zanpanband or www.pigeoncouprecords.com

SINGLE OF THE WEEK 2
THE GENTLE GOOD  - Dawel Disgyn EP (Gwymon) – The Gentle Good is the wonderful work of one man, Cardiff’s Gareth Bonello. The EP, his debut, features two very easy on the ear Welsh language songs and two sung in English. All four songs are delicately beautiful, all four gently flow, all four will make you feel good about absolutely everything. Delicate acoustic pieces, simple glowing uplifting songs that will leave a spring in your step and smile on your face. Wonderful song-writing, melodies that take you to everywhere you need to go – radiant songs, restrained stings, simple guitar and a beautifully warm friendly voice that drags you in to the words in such a delightfully rewarding way. Think Nick Drake, Martyn Carthy, oh just go and find out for yourself, this EP is a treasure, so much good positive music around at the moment, these are rich musical times. www.myspace.com/gentlegood / www.myspace.com/gwymon

ALSO CHECK OUT
THE BLACK KEYS – Just Got To Be (V2) – More of that edgy raw loose authentic blues rock retro thing that the duo from Ohio do so well, The Black Keys are the real deal, low slung swampy 70’s progressive blue rock – Zeppelin, Pat Travers cool, yeah black Betty! Another cool record from those Black Keys, named thus because a black key is someone not quit right – just right! www.theblackkeys.com / www.myspace.com/theblackkeys

DAVID CRONENBERG’S WIFE – I Couldn’t Get Off (Blang) - London Lo-Fi left-field artsy scenesters (based down in the Smoke but from the North) with some spiky observations. Scratchy new wave surf guitar driven by demandingly heavy garage flavoured (even more scratchy) drums and a bit of a Wreckless Eric/John Cooper Clark/Billy Childish feel to things. They do feel like their home ground of Manchester and the late 70’s and Joy Division and punk-edged mechanical psychedelia and a dark twisted edge – www.myspace.com/davidcronenburgswife / www.blang.co.uk

FABLES LAST STAND – Bite The Hook (End Of The Trail) – Big rock, big riff rock – think Horse London, The Almighty, The Cult, 70’s style dirty power riff ‘n raunch and things like Montrose or Starz or Hellcats or Starfighters and all tattoos and sunglasses and... Sounds they’d kick up a storm live. www.myspace.com/fableslaststand

PATRICK WATSON – Luscious Life (Secret City) – I guess I kind of like it in a Radiohead tease Coldplay kind of way, I guess, I mean the thing is harmless enough and there’s no Kaiser-fi crimes going on here and it is better than claiming everything is average and... next please – www.patrickwatson.net
