Here's Suppression's entire live set from when they opened for Despise You at Strange Matter last month. This video was shot by local video documentarian extraordinaire Silver Persinger, and is of excellent quality, in terms of both sound and video. I'd tell you more about the performance you're in store for if you watch this, but I pretty much...
Fixtures is a cult. The Richmond based five-piece have been steadily building a following over the last year, and with two major releases on the way, it appears their day of reckoning is upon us. Fixtures recently finished recording for a split 7” with This Time It's War, which will be released November 12th. As well, they are currently writing...

It’s a recording that feels like it belongs to a different time. Hunnicutt spent only the greater part of a weekend recording the twelve tracks that would end up on the record, a method...
Caves – Homeward Bound (Yo-Yo Records/Specialist Subject Records) When I was on tour with them this summer in the UK, I learned a drinking game that involved drinking every time you heard a “whoa” in one of Caves’ songs. The first night I saw someone play that game, I saw him finish five pints in the band’s twenty-five minute set. Readers...
GWAR-B-Que 2011: GWAR, Darkest Hour, Kepone, Battlemaster, Argonauts, Druglord, Mensrea, Occultist, DBX, Bloody Crackdown, Groundscore Saturday, September 17 at The National I was really disappointed when, a few days before this event took place, it was moved from Hadad's Lake to the National. For one thing, it involved yet another act of...
Craft – Void (Carnal/Southern Lord Records) I've got to hand it to Craft.
