Industrial Band Featuring Disturbed’s Draiman Gets Name

Posted by Chris Harris on May 31, 2012 in New Records, News

And as expected, it’s not very inspired or fun. Kind of like Disturbed’s music. The band will be called Device. As in, “He used a device to destroy all of their eardrums.” Device — featuring Disturbed vocalist David Draiman and former Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo — even has a new Facebook page, which means they’ve Read More

Posted by Chris Harris on May 31, 2012 in Huh?, News

At least their label did. The band’s new label. Odd Future Records, the umbrella label formed by controversial alternative hip-hop collective Odd Future. The Sacto-based hardcore act is the most recent signing to the label, and will release an album called 119 this fall. Frankly, I have never been a fan of Trash Talk; there Read More

Fuck that cunting noise. I was expecting — like most of you, I imagine — that this insane collaboration between the one and only Max Cavalera and the one and only Greg Puciato would surface before the end of the world.

The Contortionist Releasing New One In July

Posted by Chris Harris on May 31, 2012 in New Records, News

That’s right, dudes. I never got the chance to bang a female contortionist. Something tells me it would be both weird and amazing. The positions she’d be able to curl into…but then, it’d throw me off to be banging a pretzel, you know what I mean? I digress. The Contortionist will be releasing a new Read More

Glassjaw’s Palumbo Working On New Project

Posted by Chris Harris on May 31, 2012 in New Records, News

For someone living with as debilitating a condition as he does, Daryl Palumbo is one prolific motherfucker. In fact, just yesterday, I was driving around and found an untitled mix CD I had made, and a Head Automatica song came on and it filled me with joy. I love Palumbo’s atypical voice, and pretty much Read More
