Whatever Comes Next
Добавлен 21 апр 2024
Are you a fan of underground and independent music? If so, maybe you'd like to know more about the people who make it. Every week music writer Tom Osman talks with musicians, label owners, producers or anyone else carving out their own path in the treacherous landscape that is the 21st century music world. Yes, it's about the music, but it's also about life and finding out what people have to do to make the music they want to make. Come by every Tuesday for a new episode and a new guest.
Episode 36 Nick Sakes
Nick Sakes got into music relatively late, first picking up a guitar at the age of 26.
First fronting the intense and influential Dazzling Killmen in the 90s, Nick has gone on to play, tour and record as part of Colossamite, Sicbay and Xaddax.
His current band Upright Forms (along with bassist-vocalist Noah Paster & drummer Shaun Westphal) recently released their debut album Blurred Wires on SKiN GRAFT Records.
Still with some of the old abrasive, angular fury in his music, Upright Forms demonstrate that Nick can allow some poppier hooks and melodies (and, dare we say it, joy!) to take their place alongside punk rock aggression.
We talk about the latest record, songwriting and some of the ...

Episode 35 Manic Abraxas
Просмотров 42День назад
Pity the fool who tries to sum up Manic Abraxas in three or four words. Taking major inspiration from the genre-hoping Celtic Frost, Manic Abraxas draw whatever influences they please into their petrol-soaked stew of dirty, chugging, psychedelic hard rock... or is it metal? You can decide for yourself. With founder Dallas Seger on guitars/vocals/synths alongside Justin Hamm on bass/vocals/synth...

Ultimately though, perseverance prevailed,...

While some fans might know Gregory Jacobsen best for his funny cat paintings, this is only one small sliver of Gregory's art (visual and musical). Avant-rock group Lovely Little Girls (the band Gregory has fronted for more than 20 years) is often a vehicle for some of the darker aspects of the vocalist and lyricist's psyche - and it's the band that we're largely focussed on today. We discuss Lo...
