Strange Boutique – Quicksand Minds I had never heard of them before last week, but Strange Boutique is a band that rose out of the ashes of the Washington hardcore scene. Because before Strange Boutique, there was Madhouse. Madhouse was playing punk and death rock. They later transformed into a much more melodic and atmospheric […]
Gene Loves Jezebel – Desire (Discover 1986) This is the band of British Twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston. If you look them up, you’ll see that they look the same, sound the same, and sing the same way. They started in black and white but evolved into a very colorful band in the mid-’80s […]

The End – Flock of Seagulls I have sweet memories of this band. When I was working at a big motorcycle expo in Amsterdam in 2005. I was trying to sell subscriptions to visitors to a motor magazine. I did really well, and was exhausted after each day and went home on my bicycle with […]
Wilmer Wolf on Secret Sounds, the 80’s and his musical heritage. My band, Secret Sounds, existed for about 7 years, back in the Eighties – which is quite a long time for a band. It’s long ago, and it’s done. I don’t like bands that do endless reunions trying to hold on to something long […]
Psychic TV – Godstar (allegory & Self 1988) “Godstar” is basically a rock ‘n’ roll tale about the life and death of Brian Jones, one of the founding members of The Rolling Stones. If the lyrics didn’t give it away. It sure was that guitar riff or part of it, from “Brown Sugar”. We discussed Throbbing […]
Section 25 – Haunted Last week, the day after we recorded our podcast. I went to a local thriftstore and to my surprise I stumbled upon a DVD amidst all usual movies that you typically find. A DVD about Manchester’s famous Factory records called “24 hour party people”. I didn’t even know this existed. It’s […]
Rendez Vous – Distance (EP: Distance 2016) Rendez-Vous is a 5-piece French band that was founded in 2012, in Paris. They make energetic, pumping post-punk, with electronic aspects here and there. As you have just heard, they sound quite angry, and they are able to deliver that anger and energy, channeled through songs to us. […]
Warpaint – Shadows Warpaint, what a great band name. Warpaint is an all-female LA quartet that appears to have a direct line back to 1982 Britain. The song, Shadows, is from their debut album “The Fool” from 2010. Where shall I begin with my fan rant about this great song. It gives me goosebumps 10 […]
