Do you miss good upbeat rock? There’s an album for you that hasn’t gone viral but definitely deserves this. Listen to “Ominous Prominence” entirely. It worth it as not every time an album has so smooth and well made stuff. They did it without failures or any boredom. At the same time, the songs are quite diverse. Fans of the guitar sound will find catchy riffs, soft distortion and synths that fit perfectly into the context. It turns out that the team breaks out of raw punk into the realms of kraut and space rock. Let’s politely bypass any references and go down to the basement where these gu ..read more

Meet strange things when on the road from the garage. Image by artgiagzhel Today we are observing some kinds of garage rock. Well, not precisely garage rock, as always in our ‘Out of” section. Each time we do not start from the middle. Rather from the distant segments we do. 1. Wall – Vol. 2 (2021) The first project in our mighty list is from Oxford, UK. The British know in detail the balance between heaviness and austerity. So these two brothers offer nice riffs, partly old school and partly really burning.

Insane cover speaks for itself, hinting that we’ll find something special inside. So, don’t wait to put it on. Máquina Delírio is Brazilian duo made by Erica (drums & sfx) and Ricardo (strings and vocals). Their debut record was done in a DIY-mode at home. Well, the first feeling which came to me is that it’s heavy enough but still very sunny stuff. It is inspiring, especially if played during short winter day. It’s so warm that your heart will certainly resonate and jump into eternal summer. Soft and touching rock blossoms within this EP. Pretty strange, fluctuating and floating to a bl ..read more

What if we take some grunge, turn it upside down and boost this stuff by adding plenty of magnetic vibes? We’ll get Deepshade then, an extraordinary act from Great Britain. In the universe of Deepshade, you’ll find red flares of the burning city, bright rays from the sun which turned sad, and the eternity of the Night. This ablum is done by the band members David Rybka (guitar, voice and keys), Tom Doherty (bass), Chris Oldfield (drums; there were also two other drummers involved in a couple of pieces), and Fran Lydiatt as a keyboardist for several songs. What you get here is a pure psychede ..read more
