ELECTRONIC MUSIC – COPYCAT OR CREATIVE?

abigailpixler5452

There are two types of people in this world… PEOPLE WHO LOVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC & PEOPLE WHO HATE IT WITH A PASSION I have rarely come across those who, simply put, “tolerate it”. You’re either hardcore about that life, whether you’re a wannabe DJ or a massive fan of crazy huge music festivals like Spring Awakening in Chicago, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, FL, Electric Forest in Rothbury MI, and Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, NV… OR… You hate it so much that you turn the channel on the radio as soon as anything slightly resembling EDM comes on … Continue reading ELECTRONIC MUSIC – COPYCAT OR CREATIVE?

LOST RECORDINGS… IDENTITY CRISISES

abigailpixler5452

Tomorrow… something weird is dropping. And I’ve listened to it. Norway’s capital city of Oslo is no stranger to all different music scenes, including a decently large punk scene. I’ve never heard of something this bizarre though… A band that lasted a day. A DAY. Fifteen years ago, in 2003, two members of the band Speedergarben got together in the studio to play leftover material they had and this is the product of that studio time. What came of it is three tracks that are just shy of five minutes all together. Did I mention that this happened 15 years … Continue reading LOST RECORDINGS… IDENTITY CRISISES

“Bloodbeats” – Exclusive Review

abigailpixler5452

Bloodbeats by Syndrom NORWAY  |  INDUSTRIAL/HEAVY ROCK Release date: September 28, 2018 If there is one thing you should know about this 4-piece heavy rock band from Oslo, it’s that they are not for the weak of heart. With a mixture of minimalist, industrialist and the experimental, Syndrom creates a sort of doom and gloom brand of rock that could be found on either a Rob Zombie movie soundtrack or an old 80’s campy slasher flick soundtrack. While the track listing only sits at a measly 6 songs, it is made up for by 3 of the 6 songs being … Continue reading “Bloodbeats” – Exclusive Review
