DEMO TIME |
We're
just going to tell you about the very very best once a week, no more time
for the average, only the most exciting - we're very very selective, when
we tell you it's good then it really is goooooooood
DEMO
OF THE WEEK
ATLAS – Catatonic – Impressive
demo; lush, epic in a precise focused concise way, ambitious indie pop
with a rewarding progish/mathy edge and some clever construction – clever
enough to not need to show off. Finely voiced, Roxanne Johns is the singer,
she has strong confident colourful voice. No idea where they’re from, somewhere
in the UK, they do sound very English. Don Caballero textures and patterns,
lush interludes, sky touching moments, a You And The Atom Bomb feel, an
exceptionally good three track demo, three fine ambitious impressive songs
– www.myspace.com/atlasbanduk
ALSO CHECK OUT
THIS MONO GALAXY – Two synth
pop songs, a duo from Brighton, a sparse kind of Pet Shop Boys feel. Yes
I know, really lazy of me to make that comparison, but hey, if you like
Neil Tennant and gloomy Tuesdays and glances exchanged on train journeys
and understated slightyl lo-fi synth pop melodrama then hit the link and
find just how lazy the Pet Shop Boys reference is. I like it, especially

NEW ALBUMS WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK |
This
week the best new things we’ve been listening to were...
ALBUM
OF THE WEEK
B FOR BANG – Across The
Universe Of Language – B For Bang Rewires The Beatles (KML) - Some
serious avant music makers including acclaimed pianist Katia Lebeque, David
Chalmin from the excellent Dimension X and contemporary composer Nicola
Tescari along with guests like Patti Smith, Daniel Day Lewis and such.
Across The Universe is not so much a tribute to the Fab Four, or indeed
a set of covers, more interpretations using classic songs like Helter Skelter,
Come Together, Lucy in The Sky as focus points and spring boards. Familiar
lines and riffs cut in to all kinds of soothing, gentle, jarring composition.
The Beatles, iconic figures that they are whoever you are or whatever your
language, woven in to contemporary avant musical assembly and orchestral
stabs and all manner of high-art spiky chamber jazz and other rock – the
results are thrilling. Melancholic passages are disrupted as we go back
to the bottom and up to the top, challenging piano outbursts, sinister
impressionism, inventive focus and all pulled back in to shape by the familiar
frame of Beatles songs – all kinds of energies and modern musical traditions
colliding as one wonderfully stimulating whole. It works, it works on so
many levels – most of all it just works as a rewarding piece of modern
musical art to get lost in and enjoy. Wonderfully good for you.

ALSO
CHECK OUT
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS
– Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (Mute) - Now look, they don’t need our words, there
should be words everywhere, we’re not needed here, we’ll keep it short...
A new Nick Cave album is an event that rightly will be covered all over
the music media and beyond. We like to use our time and space here on those
that are ignored by most, but hey, new Bad Seeds album just landed...
Now I pretty much love everything he does, so straight to the front of
the queue, rip open that cellophane and throw it on - hey this is
different and all that we have now here is not the same as we have ever
had before and shun us from the greasy grind. This is different, still
rosaries stuffed up noses and tubes clasped in hands and.... don’t
ask me things, I don’t know where to start, ignite the powder trail and
some slobbering dog thing. I feel like a vacuum cleaner, a complete sucker,
I call upon the author to explain... look, I got to go, I’m late, I got
to meet a train, I can’t stop this first listen and hey there’s dogs knocking
on the door... Hemingway and who? And they’ve published another volume
of reconstructed rubbish...? Can we call upon the author to explain? “Finding
new ways to be the Bad Seeds is an ongoing mission for Nick Cave and his
confreres...” You don’t need a Nick Cave review from us, no gliding off
dorsal fins or New Testament miracles or putting himself in the dock and
being called to explain. The fourteenth Bad Seed album is as rewarding
and intriguing as the previous thirteen – very much a Bad Seeds album,
as challenging and unpredictable as ever, as full of mood swings and messing
with your mood swings as ever. Lived with it for a good part of a week
now (and I made that train) and you don’t need us to tell you this is another
good one – the same old Bad Seeds, as different as ever and more news from
nowhere and yes... dragging the inner working outside, a stand out even
by Nick Cave standards... www.nickcaveandthebadseeds.com

FOOT VILLAGE – Friendship
Village (Tome) - What a shout-and-yell-a-thon! Who are these people? Opens
with a track that manages to sound like three different arguments going
on in the same room at the time, second track sounds like they gave up
arguing and all took on hitting drums (and screaming) instead. First track
is called Urination, the second is called Crow Call - this second track
would scare any passing crow right out of the sky. Rhythmic histrionics
and chaotic scrums of noise and telling and yelling and.... These people
are various LA heavyweight underground music-makers from cutting edge bands
like Gang Wizard and Friends Forever, Tome Records meanwhile is run by
Kevin from Pre. Is this how he spends his down time?! Foot Village make
Pre sound like a relaxing bath of ambient bliss in comparison! There’s
some serious rhythmic juggling going on here (along with addictive mixes
from Big A Little a, Tussle, Silver Daggers, Robedoor). Electricity-free
hardcore! No-electricity hardcore is what they’re attempting to make. Foot
Village is the first nation built after the apocalypse! Serious experimental
music living and shaving wherever they damn well want to – invigorating
noisecore art attacks. Recommended, go investigate – www.myspace.com/footvillage
or www.tomerecords.com
SINE STAR PROJECT - Building
Humans (Blood Light Recordings) - Muse back-bred to Sparks and Queen to
pup a progeny that concentrates good things from all these. Openers
Bleeding Like a Dog and Brown Bread is all the soaring-but-driving accessibility
of Muse, complete with that band's phrasing and feel, but the tunes and
arrangements are enticingly sophisticated, hinting that Sine Star Project
are just getting warming up. In a nutshell, after starting out with
a couple of classical-influenced indie rock numbers they have enough sonic
skill to be able to make the out-and-out prog that Muse would have liked
to. A rather human sort of late 70s poppy prog, the orchestral, ambitious
Concerto For A Rainy Day double-album extravaganza thing. This being
the days of post rock and lost inhibitions, Building Humans is subtler
and possessing a rich delicacy that is all its own. Singer/composer
Peter J Croissant (whose project this is) has a sweet, soft falsetto voice
that holds a core unique identity against the comparisons that come to
mind - Jeff Buckley, Antony and the Johnsons, Freddy Mercury - a fragile,
honeyed voice that goes down very easily, layered into confections of bright,
bittersweet harmonies. The whole is enriched by swathes of strings
and brass, a body count of over 30 musicians guesting around the gigging
five-piece core. Based in the south of England, Sine Star Project
have few peers here in the UK; the more freeform, orchestrated songs showing
more in common with some of the more melodic avant-prog outfits of the
US, such as Time Of Orchids and Kayo Dot. Where they rock out, then
things are complex, reined-in tense heavyness, holding back to a release
of sweeping emotion.
Flowing, confidently
classical arrangements weaving into a wide-ranging whole, Building Humans
remains deft and elegant where others would arrive at cheesy bombast.
Evidently the product of a pretty special imagination, Sine Star Project
is uniquely refined rock, darkly romantic at heart, and not a little brave.
www.myspace.com/sinestarproject
or www.sinestarproject.com
HEADCHARGER – Watch The Sun
(Customcore) – A second album from the French outfit, seems a little more
straight forward and direct this time. Relentless grunge flavoured driving
abrasive aggressive edgy rock delivered with a slicing in your face noised-up
punk as F attitude. No time to mess around, no time to be subtle, no time
for anything much other than getting to where they need to go and getting
there fast – foot to the floor early Soundgarden/Nirvana for Melvins/Black
Flag/Motorhead fans – www.myspace.com/customcorerecords
or www.headcharger.com
SAHG – II (Regain) – Very
much a late period Ozzy’s Sabbath flavoured thing – Never Say Die period.
Second album from the Norwegian band, melodic heavy rock with a great big
clean cut psychedelic harmonised stoner sound. Riders of thunders and star
crossed escapes from the crimson sun and cosmic doom – they do it extremely/authentically
well – www.regainrecords.com
BLACK CROWES – Warpaint (Silver
Arrow) - So is it their best album? Well let’s say this is an album good
enough to put up an argument that says it is. What the Black Crowes have
done here is returned (after some seven years) with some very fine, rather
mellow, stimulating, refined and somewhat sophisticated Southern rock –
kind of like The Stones at their Southern best, only the Crowes have far
more right to be doing this than some band from West London. Eleven easy
on the ear, inviting, impressive, classic Southern rock tracks delivered
with a good soul, the right attitude and a just hint of things not being
quite right in their homelands right – you know what, I think it is their
best album. Recommended. www.blackcrowes.com
MINUS – The Great Northern
Whale Kill (One Little Indian) - Another album from the forceful band from
Reykjavik (Iceland) and more of that big sounding alternative middle ground
rock for people who like the kind of things Queens Of The Stone Age or
Foo Fighters get up to these days – www.indian.co.uk
or www.myspace.com/minus
THE ERUPTORS – Bad Time To
Be Having A Good Time (Manic Squat) – Some kind of raw messy garage punk
Stooge-out of a sci-fi concept album. If you’re in to your raw garage rock
and bands like The Masons and you like your sci-fi and battlestar eruptica
and lo-fi scuzz and comic book artwork then go investigate... www.myspace.com/eruptors
TANK 86 – Behold (self release)
– Five track debut mini album from the Dutch band – solid riff based instrumental
stoner flavoured alternative heavy rock. They have a complex edge to their
seemingly effortless easy to listen to flow. Tight, and without really
breaking any new ground or doing anything you haven’t heard before, rather
satisfying. www.tank86.com
GRENOUER – Try (Casket) -
High tempo industrial metal from St Petersburg, Russia – relentless, cookie
monster yapping vocals, relentless machine driven aggression - relentless
everything - relentless riffs, relentless noise, relentless computer game
industrial metal – they have a little extra twist in there, a hint of something
that keeps things a little more interesting than your average slice of
modern industrial metal... www.grenouer.com
THE NOTORIOUS HI-FI KILLERS
– Which Side Are You On? (Rocket) – They do just what you’d expect a band
called The Notorious Hi-Fi Killers to do – or do they? What would you expect
anyway? Who expects what? Who are these notorious people? People from Joeyfat,
Princess Headbutt, people who’ve been around London in various bands doing
various things for a while now. Moody smouldering edgy raw moody
garage blues that’s nailed on and direct when it wants to be, psychedelia
that goes right out (beyond) there when it has a mind to. They’re timeless,
they could be from anytime in the last thirty or so years - no, that’s
wrong, they sound like now, like the musical melting pot that is right
now. They’re not afraid of a fifteen minute smouldering mindwarp down the
river behind the lines (where Charlie don’t surf). There’s Beefeaters on
the back cover, who knows why? Dirty filthy guitars, dirty filthy acid
blues, who knows which side they’re on, who went in to the DMZ? North London?
Which side are you on? www.myspace.com/hifikillers
ETERNAL DEFORMITY – Frozen
Circus (Code666) – From Poland with a rather intriguing mix of circus metal
and slightly grotesque industrial/gothic onslaught – grotesque in a positive
manner though, kind of circus freak show waiting for the trapeze artist
to fall on the share slicing guitar riffs and the euro-prog atmosphere.
They lull you with their moody atmospheres then stomp you again just as
you’re letting your guard down. Think early Marillion go death/goth metal
and thrash about with cod-classical onslaughts and the kitchen sink and
the gates of hell and eternal deformity indeed. www.eternal-deformity.com
OCTOBER ALL OVER – Vital
Organs (Unlabel) – Whatever happened to London’s October All Over?
Two or three years ago it was all rather blustery and busy and it all looked
positively exciting (see copies of Organ from 2005/6, we had lots of good
things to say). October All Over were, for a moment or two back there,
a vital part of the ever evolving London DIY/underground scene. And then
they just dropped off the radar, as bands do. Thought they’d given up completely
until this CD turned up – very little info with it, one of those advance
CDs that labels like to send out without any of the artwork, information
or anything (like the artwork isn’t part of it or something?). Did they
split? Is this album coming out as an after though for those who cared?
No sign of any gigs, no much sign of life over on their My Space page –
not very hopeful then seeing as this album is officially released on March
10th and they’re not even mentioning it? Guess they moved on and the people
at Unlabel care enough to not let it go unreleased? Who knows? This is
a fine album, an edgy urgent abrasive album. October All Over were (are?)
a ball of fast edgy angular energy – positive energy that came laced with
clever strong structure and a post-hardcore alternative thrust. Well looks
like they did ground to a halt back in 2007 when Sophie Haines left, her
leaving was the last sign of activity on their abandoned official website.
Sophie was bass player and one of the vocalists. Urgent tense post-hardcore
imagination is what they dealt out - Unwound flavours, Pixies flavours,
abrasive pop, Unseen, Fudge Tunnel, tougher side of Sonic Youth – male/female
vocals, barbed riffs, a positively awkward punk rock edge and a fine album
from a band who were brimming with possibilities. Yes, Vital Organs is
a fine album, they could well have become vital. Good that this has come
out then, good that it exists, not sure how vital without the functioning
live band and the experience that went with it, good to have though, good
good good. www.myspace.com/octoberallover

| BUNCH OF HUNTS
THREE YEARS ON - SCHNEWS
REVIEWS THE UK 'BAN' ON HUNTING
"It's pretty much business
as usual hunt sabbing in the fields of rural England, three years after
the hunting ban came into force - if you can call it a ban; week in week
out we see hunts chasing and killing foxes in direct violation of the ban."
- H.S.A. Press Officer
"Finally - seven years after
Neo-Labour promised to ban hunting with dogs, the law's been passed. Foxes
can relax and hunt sabs can hang up their balaclavas. Or can they?" - SchNEWS
486
Three years since the ban
on hunting with hounds was passed through parliament, has it made a blind
bit of difference to the bloody fate of persecuted British wildlife? No
- but it has provided an invaluable lesson on how people with cash and
influence can buck the law with impunity. Not only that, but those trying
to curb their illegal activities face police harassment and hunt thuggery.
When the Criminal Justice
Act 1994 was first introduced, one of its main targets was the Hunt Saboteurs
movement, denounced as "Thugs, wreckers and bullies" by the then Home Secretary
Michael Howard. Within hours of the bill receiving royal assent, police
moved in and began arresting those disrupting bloodsports under the new
offence of 'aggravated trespass'. At one point, Sussex police were fielding
nearly eighty officers every weekend to arrest and harass hunt saboteurs.
Contrast this with the Hunting
Act 2005. Pretty unequivocal in its terms, it made hunting with hounds
a criminal offence. The more naïve might have expected a similar police
effort made to clamp down on those now in breach of the law. What actually
happened was that David 'there's none so blind as those who will not see'
Blunkett announced a 'softly-softly' approach, letting the police off the
hook. In a backstairs deal, hunting became an offence - but not one
for which details of those arrested would be recorded, or one which would
count towards national crime enforcement statistics. The same police forces
which had deployed vast resources to harass anti-bloodsports activists
now simply ignored the hunting issue.
Bloodsports enthusiasts carried
on their merry way, initially using the flimsy legal camouflage of 'exempt'
hunting. What this meant in fact was that some hunts took to having a bird
of prey on hand (falconry isn't banned), others a few bumpkins with shotguns
(because it's allowed to use two hounds to flush prey towards guns) and
others still took to dragging smelly rags around miles from the action
in attempt to pretend they were drag-hunting. Once it became apparent that
across the country police were not about to take any action anyway even
these pantomimes were dropped. For example on Saturday 5th January, the
Surrey Union foxhunt chased and killed a fox on the village green at Ockley,
Surrey. This was photographed by sabs. Efforts to interest police in the
footage were met with the thin blue line of complete indifference.
Of course there have been
a handful of prosecutions across the country - twenty-five to be exact.
Almost all of those prosecuted by the CPS have been targeted for 'low-level'
hunting - using lurcher dogs to hunt rabbits and hares. While just as cruel
as yer redcoated, stirrup cup drinkin' landownin' variety, the setting
of dogs on wildlife isn't protected by that most vital exemption in the
Hunting Act – the defence of being a toff. When huntsmen from the more
prestigious hunts find themselves in court, always as a result of footage
taken by the League against Cruel Sports and often as a result of private
prosecutions taken out by them, they are equipped with the best legal advice
money can buy. As a result they can afford to pay for continual appeals
and, like Premiership footballers charged with speeding, find themselves
able to wriggle through the smallest of courtroom loopholes.
We are now nearing the end
of the third fox-hunting season since the introduction of the ban. Sab
groups, committed to taking direct action against bloodsports, have gathered
hours of footage of hunts breaking the ban. In response, the hunts have
upped the level of violence and intimidation - especially against those
carrying cameras. This season has seen a rise in violence targeted at sabs,
with vehicles attacked and people hospitalised. And it is usually the camera
operators they go for first.
When police do turn up, naturally
they haven't developed a sudden sympathy for the anarchists in their (t)rusty
black Land Rovers. In November last year, sabs out with the notorious Old
Surrey and Burstow fox hunt, filmed huntsman Mark Bycroft blatantly urging
his hounds on to a fox.
One sab told us, "They were
on to their third fox of the day - it broke out of some woodland and we
were standing there filming. Police arrived and told the sabs, "You lot
move away or you'll be arrested." When we asked what for, we were told
aggravated trespass. Pointing out that we were disrupting a unlawful activity
didn't do any good as at that point Bycroft rode up and told the police,
"You lot sort 'em out or we will." The cops then immediately jumped on
one cameraman and wrestled him to the ground, putting him in handcuffs.
Minutes later they arrested me."All charges have since been dropped.
Of course it's not surprising
that the boys in blue line up with the chinless in pink - some of them
ride with the hunt! On Saturday 9th February 2008, Sabs on the South Downs
and Eridge hunt were bemused to have an off-duty WPC from Surrey ride up
to them flashing her warrant card. Strangely enough two sabs were later
arrested and held for 22 hours. "Basically our vehicle had been blocked
in by hunt thugs. After one female hunt sab had been ridden down we'd asked
for police assistance and been told that the matter 'had already been dealt
with' - i.e. they'd asked the WPC if everything was OK. To try and get
out I rolled forward with the Land Rover and cracked a brake light on the
4x4 blocking the road. When the police eventually did turn up I was nicked
for criminal damage!"
And the courts take a lenient
view of hunt violence. One hunt supporter, convicted of GBH in November
for breaking a woman's arm in two places, merely received an eight month
suspended sentence. You can easily imagine what would have happened if
the offence had been the other way round.
As one greying veteran of
the anti-bloodsports battles told SchNEWS, "Screw this monitoring lark:
no more standing around with cameras while still getting attacked by the
huntscum and arrested by the plod - let's get back to old fashioned sabbing..."
With the law still an ass,
all kinds of anti-hunt action continues - and help and support is still
needed. See www.huntsabs.org.uk

OF THE WEEK
WHAT
WOULD JESUS DRIVE? - We Made This EP (Split) – Well f me, time to
take offence! Around here we give a great big f about What Jesus Would
Drive and we never did nuffin’, No let down here, no offence taken and
far better than watching lots of TV and getting nothing done, OK dreadful
Grease cover thing, third track, what a let down, sweet dreaming gone sour,
no, come back, inspired Grease cover thing. They sound like Art Brut having
an argument with Dustin’s Bhamitzvah outside the chippy over the Carter
records they stole off their dad’s mate – no, that’s an awful Grease thing,
not the one that you want. What would Jesus drive anyway? He’d drive us
all bleedin’ mad with his preaching and shouting and we wouldn’t give an
f about his band and oi! You! Come back here and turn that bloody wine
back in to water again and get off my fish and sharing it our with all
them scrounging god-bothers, your dad means nothing to be and I don’t care
what you drive – he’d be like bloody Bob Geldof, Boomtown bloody twat.
Three tracks, two people, feisty shouty sweary girl/boy combination and
wired and nuffin! Never again - round here all of us give an f about your
band, well the first track anyway and the second song – the second song

| RHUBARB
& CUSTODY
Met
Cops hit a new low this week - targeting a soup kitchen handing out food
to the homeless. The 'Reclaim your food' collective were handing out free
soup near The Oval, London (as they do every Sunday). Twenty cops in two
vans - plus a CCTV crew - turned up to ensure that this act of flagrant
charity did not go unpunished. Enraged by the free organic bread, skipped
soup and insurrectionary rhubarb crumble on offer, the plod had no choice
but to act. Two of the servers were arrested, while everyone else was held
in a kettle and photographed. All this because they were causing alarm,
harassment and distress to the local 'community' and apparently 'attracting
crack dealers' (well we all know how much they love a good crumble with
the cops!). SchNEWS's man on the scene has made a short film – see here
