News from Belfast, UK post-punk / noise-rock band... 

 

Belfast-based Irish noise-punk 4-piece formed in late 2019. Offering venomous hip-hop-inspired vocals that are as uncompromising as the guitars are unforgiving, layered on a rhythm section that draws as much from left-field electronica and techno as it does from post-punk heroes of the late 70s.

5) Panda Bear & Sonic Boom with Mariachi 2000 de Cutberto Pérez - Reset Mariachi

 

 

 

 

 
News from experimental pop Noah Benjamin Lennox + Peter Kember + Mariachi 2000... 

 

We had the idea to record with a Mexican mariachi party band going back to ‘Tropic of Cancer’ from Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, but it was always just a pipe dream & circumstances never came together. Then last year, knowing we were shortly to head to Mexico for a show, we asked our Mexican friend & sound tech Oswaldo Terrones if he had contacts with any mariachi in Mexico. He did ... and also with a studio specializing in mariachi recording. With that burning a hole in our imaginations we pulled together a six person team of three Mexican and three Spanish friends, here in Portugal and in Mexico City, and painstakingly translated two Reset songs, making sure to be true to the poetry, the Mexican Spanish, the rhymes and of course the rhythmic flow. In November ’23, we recorded them at Topetitud Studo in Coyoacan, Mexico City with additional arranging by Santiago & Patsi Mijare, with the mariachi playing the instruments, us playing the percussion, and all taking turns to sing. Our Spanish didn't enable us to understand their animated chatting, but we were told afterwards that the mariachi loved the songs and were bemused by their simplicity and the apparent sleight of hand in their construction. It was a great day, and a joy to watch the mariachi enjoying the songs and taking them back home.”

4) FOOTBALLHEAD - Before I Die 

 

 

 
News from Chicago, Illinois alternative - indie-rock / emo band... 

 

Chicago's Footballhead swiftly returns with a brand new mini album on the heels of their debut full-length album, Overthinking Everything, released in March on Tiny Engines. Only five months removed from their debut album, Before I Die was once again mixed and engineered by Snow Ellet and mastered by Jesse Cannon (Basement, The Menzingers, Saves The Day, Somos). There is no way to avoid the pitfalls of the lived human experience; and in a world where the passing of time carries a residual but certain cynicism, we can’t help but sit from a polarized vantage point. Footballhead’s new mini album Before I Die takes into consideration several bitter hypotheses and truths: fate will make its attempt to control you, the clock never ceases to tick, and you are always judged on your impact, not your intent. 

This 7-song collection drives the band’s ethos harder and raises their ceiling even higher.
