*** PODCAST #168 Hillsboro pt.2 ***

    As the dust settles from the new HILLSBORO ep 'White Trash' I figured it was time to bring my friends Nima and Dexter back on for a sequel podcast! Dexter plays violin in the band, while Nima sings and plays guitar as well as spends time in a band with me called Wollruss. We speak about a plethora of ridiculous things including (but certainly not limited to): post-tour blues, Oliver and the constant chill, recording the next album, racks falling on people, Nima the Wild Man, guitars can be spears, the screamo ladder, "are we getting serial-killed tonight?", improper drumkit etiquette, spirits inhabiting tuners, good shoegaze characteristics, the dissolving of genres, screamo incubation, Play Dead Records, etc. Bands played in this podcast: All Done Bye Bye, Urika's Bedroom, and Who Calls So Loud. Listen to podcast #168 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.

*** PODCAST #167 Henning (Återstod, Suis La Lune, Sore Eyelids) ***

    Henning Runolf has been indirectly in my life for over two decades and I've been in touch with him for the latter of two, so when he hit me up a few months back with a brand spankin' new project for me to help release (Återstod), I figured it was high time to get him on the podcast. He has spent time in a plethora of bands including (but not limited to): Återstod, Suis La Lune, Trembling Hands, Sore Eyelids, New Decade, left in-between, Mixtapes & Cellmates, etc. and has an amazing/unique style of writing that comes across in all of his bands. We discussed some of those bands as well as: falling in love with KISS, sounding old as shit, tiny radars, pop vs. screamo, the Trachimbrod/Sore Eyelids split, coming to the USA for the first time, obscure EPs, Henning's new screamo project Återstod, Dave butchers band names, Japanese shoegaze, underrated German emo-violence, etc. Bands played in this podcast: The Bear Quartet, Julie, Lachance, Plastic Trees, Storm The Bastille, and Trachimbrod.

NINE NECKS

"Laid to Rest"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Horsewhip, Lockslip, Terror Cell and The Minor Times

Bandcamp

     NINE NECKS are a heavy post-hardcore/metallic hardcore band with a fresh coat of screaming. Active in Los Angeles though all of the members originally hail from Chicago and were active in that scene in the early 2000s, I am ecstatic to bring you their first single from the upcoming EP which was produced by Alex Estrada (Touche Amore, Joyce Manor) at Pale Moon Ranch. It releases spring 2025, featuring Dan Rees, Joe Hunt, along with brothers Patrick and Matt Bellanger rounding out this quartet of destruction. Jam that shit below, it fucking slaps.

(2024) NINE NECKS "Laid to Rest"

https://youtu.be/WqoWiJw3Mds

     Beginning with dissonant guitars, cymbals, and screaming, the song toys with the listener for the first 30 seconds before absolutely laying waste to the listener. The instrumentals begin to bounce and the vocals slip down to a deeper level of hell, making the bombastic display of metallic hardcore all that much more devastating. Fuck to the yes.
