Brooklyn’s answer to the wave of weird, avant-garde art-punk that’s been brewing in Britain the last few years – think Black Country, New Road, Black Midi, and more recently, the likes of Opus Kink and English Teacher – is Geese: a five-piece guitar band consisting of high school friends. Initially intending to break up to head to university following the release of their stellar debut, ‘Projector’, they instead caught the attention of Partisan Records [Fontaines D.C., IDLES] before they’d even started the album campaign, and were swiftly being touted as punk’s prime new hype band. Their second LP, ‘3D Country’,…

Baustelle Elvis album review by Anna Ida Cortese. “You must have chaos within yourself to give birth to a dancing star” Friedrich Nietzsche Portraits of contemporary decadence, what if the world fell? I move a little further… we dance rock’n roll and we return to the roofs of the houses to sing (reference to the video of MILAN IS THE METAPHOR OF LOVE). The chaos of the burning world is reflected throughout the songs providing the listener with a clear emotional map of the present. elvis, ninth album, of the Baustelle tell about ours “time to forget” to put it…

It came out last Friday Cosmic Res, the latest studio work by the C+C=Maxigross collective, re-emerged after two years of silence with a “very psychedelic” work. Between burned holy poles, Kosmische Musik and, precisely, psychedelia, the album (the eighth for the band) was co-written by Niccolò Cruciani and Tobia Poltronieri and co-produced with Duck Chagall. «These songs were born when something, someone to be precise, died. When the two of us, Cru and Tobjah, faced each other, knowing that inevitably there was only one thing to do. The truth is, again, only when you own nothing do you have nothing…

Not satisfied with the surprise concert that the Foo Fighters gave in Glastonbury on Friday, Dave Grohl returned to the stage of the English festival two more times on Saturday.”Apparently there’s a drunk backstage who insists on playing and I don’t want any trouble,” said Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, who performed on the Park Stage, already joined mid-set by Johnny Marr (Smiths). The drunk was actually Dave Grohl, who sat down at the drums and played Tattooed Love Boys.In the previous hours it had been speculated that Paul McCartney would take the stage with the Pretenders, who saw the…

Hit Parade, which builds upon the creative partnership that Murphy and Koze initiated with a pair of songs for his 2018 album Knock Knock, feels like a victory lap for the singer. Her previous record, Róisín Machine, re-introduced her as queen of the dance, a smoky-throated dynamo illuminated by strobing lasers and glitter-ball ripples. There was just one problem: It dropped nine months into COVID, right before a major wave of infections in Europe and the Americas.“It was shit that I made a club record when there were no clubs,” she says, laughing. But the timing was also weirdly perfect.…

Militarie Gun originally started as a solo side project for Ian Shelton, the drummer and vocalist for the Seattle powerviolence group Regional Justice Center. Across three early EPs, it felt as if Shelton was stuck in a state of perpetual metamorphosis. It was tough-guy-sounding punk songs injected with brief sections of jangly acoustic guitar or gentle harmonics, at times sounding like several insoluble ideas trying to be whisked together.But increasingly, he had his sights on inverting the formula in pushing pop to the forefront. He got a band together—including guitarist Nick Cogan from Drug Church and drummer Vince Nguyen from Modern Color—that finally…

NME caught up with Courteeners’ Liam Fray backstage at Glastonbury 2023, where the frontman told us about the impact of playing the festival and what to expect from the two new albums on the way. The Manchester indie veterans were up against Foo Fighters’ secret Pyramid Stage set as The Churnups, but still pulled an impressive crowd to their early evening set on Woodsies – formerly known as The John Peel Tent. “Eighth time lucky, it was pretty special,” Fray told NME after their set. “That was the most nervous I’ve ever been for a show. But people just want…
