En Esch's corrosive new album decimates both standards and dance floors alike. Anyone familiar with industrial luminary En Esch and his essential work in groups like KMFDM and PIG knows he is no stranger to political statements through his art. Now, on his first LP in eight years, Dance Hall Putsch, Esch decimates your standards and dance floors with vitriol.

With carefully-sown and complimenting features from fellow KMFDM alumnus Raymond Watts, Guenter Schulz and Mark Durante, plus Vas Kallas (Hanzel und Gretyl), Mea Fisher and Erica Dilanjian (Lords of Acid), Hope Nicholls (Pigface) and more, Dance Hall Putsch delivers everything an industrial fan could want.

From opener "Get Lost," with its categorically punishing industrial-metal riffs to the slicing EBM electronics of "Yum Yum Beauty & The Nasty Thief," it's all here and in no less than four languages throughout.

En Esch's signature rasp is often contrasted by the sparkling vocals of his female counterparts, and the album is lush with brutal honesty, humor, and even a bonus En Esch-lullaby. "I began work on Dance Hall Putsch in the early days of Covid-19. I was trying to create an upbeat, rather positive and very danceable album to leave the pandemic days behind us. Then it happened that a war began near where I live with tens of thousands of civilians killed and wounded so far.

Everyone was caught by surprise and it influenced me, especially lyrically. "This current conflict is just 500 miles away from Berlin, and while that does not make it more horrific than other wars, it is very close to home. From living with this 'war next door,' the album turned out much more sinister than originally planned.

It became a rather political album that reflects on the senselessness and nastiness of all the current wars around us. It's always the innocent and those who hold no power that suffer the most.

Their fate isn't always death, but many times indescribable and long-term suffering. We must not forget them or turn a blind eye. "I’m very pleased that I had the opportunity to collaborate with different and interesting colleagues here.
Thanx everybody for your interest in my musical works and for your love and support." -En Esch

Hiss and Shake Records to release ‘Rekalibrated’ – the ‘Land of Kali’ Remix album from
seminal post-punk icon Lora Logic, including the lead single ‘Alien Boys’ remixed by the
Grammy Award winning Dave Audé.

2022's "Land of Kali" album (Produced by Youth & Lora Logic) was the first under the
Essential Logic moniker for over 40 years and was released alongside a career-spanning
boxset "Logically Yours". Now Essential Logic head honcho and former X-Ray Spex
member Lora Logic has compiled an eclectic and ambitious remixed version of "Land of
Kali" entitled "Rekalibrated" featuring reinterpretations from noted artists across a
multitude of genres and styles including Grammy award winners, living legends and UK
Singles Chart toppers.

Lora's work with Essential Logic and X-Ray Spex while Punk in DNA and spirit has always
pushed at boundaries. Rule-breaking from the start by bringing the sax into Punk while
the jerky, irresistible post-Punk Funk of Essential Logic's "Beat Rhythm News" and Lora's
solo album "Pedigree Charm" sit comfortably alongside more contemporary records with
one ear on the cerebral and the other on the dancefloor. "Rekalibrated" highlights the
many strands that intertwine to make Essential Logic and how they may be unfurled.

The albums lead single - "Alien Boys" is remixed by Dave Audé. Dave is a Grammy

Award winning remixer and producer, famed for having more number ones than any otherproducer on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. 
He is responsible for a staggering 132 No.1 remixes on this chart and has worked with artists as varied as U2, Beyonce, Yoko
Ono, Faith No More and Madonna among many others. He won his Grammy for his remix of "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.

Youth, legendary bassist of Killing Joke and producer of The Verve, Pink Floyd and The
Orb lends his vastly experienced ears to "Mother Earth" while there are further
interpretations from Rave-pop legend Adamski, Scottish Kandy-poppers bis and New
Order/Duran Duran collaborators Daybreakers who put their own stamp on the Poly
Styrene-penned "Prayer For Peace”.

Lora returned to the spotlight again in 2023 thanks to the vinyl debut of X-Ray Spex's
lost second album "Conscious Consumer" which features her trademark saxophone lines
alongside typically acerbic lyricism from the dear departed Poly Styrene.
The first pressing reached the Official Record Store Chart No.1 position over Christmas
2023 and quickly sold out. Favourable reviews in Uncut, Mojo and Record Collector
alongside a Vive le Rock cover feature helped raise public awareness as well as radio
features on Woman's Hour and Craig Charles' 6 Music show.

In April delighted fans were also quick to snap-up the limited edition Record Store Day
2024 picture disc edition of the album, as well as the 2 x LP ‘Deluxe’ release of her 1982
solo album ‘Pedigree Charm’, including Bonus Tracks and the previously unreleased John
Peel Sessions.

In August 2024 Lora reunited with original Essential Logic guitarist Phil Legg for a
triumphant return to the stage performing to a packed out audience at the Blackpool
Opera House for the Rebellion Punk Festival, before joining fellow punk icons the
Stanglers as their special guest, on a rousing rendition of their classic ‘Hey! (Rise of the
Robots)’, a first since their original pairing in the recording studio in 1978! Lora made a
further surprise appearance in September to celebrate 30 years of disco/punk legends
bis, for a live rendition of the X-Ray Spex classic ‘Germ Free Adolescents’ to a sold-out
audience at St Luke’s, Glasgow.

‘Rekalibrated’ will be released as an ultra limited edition - 200 copies
pressing on florescent yellow vinyl, available exclusively via Cargo Records Direct with
an exclusive hand signed art card from Lora and Digital Platforms.

Ghost Dubs, real name Michael Fiedler, aka Jah Schulz, announces a rebirth with 'Damaged', his first album for The Bug's PRESSURE label. Having recently dropped two criminally overlooked, experimental dub LPs, with his 'Dub Over Science' series, the German producer/bass specialist, now stretches his own parameters of outwardness still further, with these twelve fresh explorations of dub deviance.

For those who feel the fusion of dub techno and ambient drone had creatively ended with the demise of the short lived, Berlin based Chain Reaction label. Ghost Dubs now upgrades and extends that legendary blueprint's abstract methodology even further and deeper, floating away upon a wonderfully warm sea of hiss and static bliss.

This is dub so atomized that it disintegrates within your eardrums. Its music, where the machines take over and virtually all traces of humanity are erased. But thankfully, the warmest soul still oozes seductively from the pores of Fiedler's robo riddims. Relentlessly hypnotic, seriously sedated, 'Damaged' celebrates the point of departure within its mesmerising low-end grooves.

Album opener 'Chemical', provides an opiated slo-mo skank, which sounds like Plastikman's 'Consumed' era pulsations drenched heavily in sub aquatic fx. A triumph of surface noise surfing and sub-woofer testing relentlessness, it provides the perfect intro to this compellingly immersive album.

For batty shakers and headtrippers alike, there's added thrills aplenty, as Ghost Dub's richter scale tremor rhythms remain impressively massive, and the atmospheric depths of 'Damaged' appear tantalisingly oceanic. Throughout the duration of the dreamy selection, there is an obsessive balance of bewitching ambience and heavyweight bassbin shaking.

The lead single 'Thin Line' itself provides a missing link between African Headcharge's early percussive body probes and Rhythm & Sound's addictive radiance, with the slightest hint of Burial's doomed romantic hauntology added for good taste. Alternately, and no less gracefully, 'Dub Lobotomy' bizarrely resembles Miles Davis 'Get Up with it' chopped, screwed, and relocated to a futuristic Kingston Town. Impressive indeed, Fiedler's mastery of live dubbing on his mixing desk shines accross the duration, and gives the album an improvised edge, and sense of peripheral chaos.

Elsewhere, spooked steppers ('Hot Wired'), haunting house ('True to life') and 4th World psychogeography ('Undone'), combine to ensure there is a forever changing mixture of flavours percolating within the admirable consistency of the overall sound.

With a tip of the cap, and nod of the head to Pole ('Second Thoughts'), it’s no surprise then that PRESSURE would then turn to the great, Berlin based producer Stefan Betke, to master/cut this collection at his infamous Scape mastering room. And a fine job he did too, as high quality sound and levels are definitely maintained throughout.

If you like your melodies submerged, your dub narcotic, your basslines obese, and your beats evaporating, 'Damaged' provides the perfect prescription and entry point into Ghost Dub's spectral soundworld.

The Ouroborus - that is, the icon of the snake or dragon eating its own tail - appears to some a statement of the brutality of nature. To others of a Gnostic disposition it symbolises the duality of the divine and earthly in mankind.

But most commonly, it’s taken simply to mean the endless cycles of death and rebirth that characterise life on this planet. As such, it’s an image that looms large in the world of Goat, the ever-mysterious and endlessly revivifying collective whose latest album marks another adventure above and beyond this particular plane of reality.

This may be a band that has named albums both Requiem and Oh Death, yet this eponymous salvo proves yet again that transcendence and metamorphosis are their watchwords. Goat sees this ever-unpredictable outfit summoning rhythmically-driven rituals in unmistakable, uplifting and scintillating style, equally adept at ignitiing dancefloors and expanding minds.

‘One More Death’ and ‘Goatbrain’ are spectacular curtain-raisers, embodying a hedonistic spirit driven by incisive funk and possessed by merciless fuzz/wah-drenched guitar. Yet elsewhere, the band’s love of hip hop is the fuel for the end-credits-epic album closer ‘Ourobourus’ which marries infectious chant to breathless Lalo Schifrin-style breakbeat action. And which also means ultimately, like the titular oldest allegorical symbol in alchemy, we’re right back where we started.

As Brad Dourif’s character Hazel Moates intones in the 1979 movie Wiseblood,  “Where you come from is gone; where you thought you were going weren’t never there. And where you are ain’t no good unless you can get away from it”; in Goat’s eternal now of renewal and revelation, there’s never been a more potent means of escape.

Here comes a new punk. If you know anything about me - as in Andrea, the record label's head - you know I have a thing for Oi since I was a teenage skinhead. And with Avant! being coldwave/synthpop label, our next release couldn't be more special.

No Filter are three children of the French region of Dauphiné, active in the black metal scene for 20 years through different projects. 

They created No Filter with the aim of exploring punk, Oi and coldwave sounds.
They started by singing in English but after their first demo they decided to opt for French to improve their lyrics by singing in their own native language. Themes addressed in their songs are violence, hatred, party nights, the countryside, their roots and friendship. "Synth punk, bagarre et blousons noirs" in their own words.

Musically speaking they somehow fit in the current Cold Oi French scene (Bromure, Syndrome 81, Cran, Kronstadt) but they exaggerate the synth/wave element ending up sounding like one unprecedented, fresh as hell mix between New Order and The 4 Skins.

If you think you've heard this one before it's because one year ago they self-released a 10-track cassette called "Sans Filtre" which is exactly what we are pressing now on vinyl for the first time because this was simply too good to stay only on tape forever. 

To make this even more special we have recruited Canadian multi-instrumentalist and artist Nakkabre (Conifère, Spleen, Vespéral, HazeHound) to do a brand new artwork and spice things up for the occasion!

Black vinyl LP edition limited to 400 is out 22 November.

Tracklisting:
1. Baston Générale
2. Un Samedi Soir Dans La Plaine
3. Sauvages
4. A La Mémoire De SHORT79
5. La Haine Nous Appartient

Scorpion Child wields a sound that hearkens back to when guitar rock ruled the airwaves and going to concerts was the ultimate main event. The Austin, TX quintet released its self-titled debut in 2013 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The album landed at #26 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and #99 on the Billboard Hard Music Albums chart. Following its premiere by Eddie Trunk, iTunes named “Polygon Of Eyes” its “Single of the Week,” and Scorpion Childearned a nomination for “Best New Band” at the Classic Rock Magazine presented “Classic Rock Awards.”

The group's second album, 2016's 'Acid Roulette' was recorded with GRAMMY® Award-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith [Meat Puppets, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead], and featured the fan-favourite tracks “Reaper’s Danse”, and "My Woman in Black".

The band's new album, 'I Saw The End as it Passed Right Through Me', is set for release on February 14 2025.

Austin, Texas band, Scorpion Child, plays dark rock and roll that blends haunting themes and atmospheric melodies; the group's unique fusion of post-punk, hard rock, and brooding aesthetic has garnered it a dedicated fanbase. On the heels of a multi-year reinvigoration, the unit returns in 2024, galvanized with a fortified lineup and renewed dedication. 

The first taste of what the strengthened Scorpion Child delivers lies in wait with the new single, "Outliers", a powerful punch of a song, filled with introspective lyrics, that perfectly encapsulates the band's distinct style. "Outliers" was recorded at Austin's Point West Recording with Charles Godfrey (Black Angels, The Mountain Goats) and represents the first official new music from Scorpion Child since the 2016 release of its full-length LP, 'Acid Roulette' (Nuclear Blast Records). "Outliers" will appear on Scorpion Child's impending new album, 'I Saw The End as it Passed Right Through Me', slated for an early 2025 release date via Noize In The Attic. With the drop of "Outliers" comes the track's accompanying music video; stream Scorpion Child's "Outliers" now at this location.

"Outliers" deep dives into the organizational use of fear tactics and the related, unknown forces that we are supposed to run from, or conform to," offers Scorpion Child vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black. "The song is a look into the thought that "they" are always watching us and that we should play the same game from our POV in the shadows."

The new album by Suki Waterhouse is a masterful slab of exuberant, emotionally vulnerable pop with hooks galore. It features her hit songs “OMG” (15 million plays on Spotify), “To Love” (15m plays), “My Fun” (5m plays in the first two months), plus 15 brand new songs.

Memoir of a Sparklemuffin comes on the heels of multiple hit songs: “Good Looking” hit #1 on the viral chart in 2023 and recently went platinum, and her songs have thrived on streaming and social-media platforms. Her 2024 touring built a rabid, young fan base who bought massive amounts of merch at every show.
  
Suki Waterhouse’s music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences, and emotions stitched together by honeyed vocal delivery, bright-eyed melodies, and evocative storytelling. It doubles as a mirror image of her life as a consummate creative, artist, actress, model, and mother, yet it also breaks the glass to unveil raw truth.

She leans on an ever-evolving sonic palette to convey what she’s feeling—whether it be folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie, or handcrafted otherworldly pop. You’ll hear Suki’s longing in a swooning chorus, fearlessness in a crunchy chord, elation in a danceable waltz, and wonder in a soft coo befitting of a lullaby. She faithfully followed a lifelong passion for music to her 2022 full-length debut, I Can’t Let Go.

Adorned by “Moves” and “Melrose Meltdown,” it incited widespread critical applause from Variety, Nylon, NME, The Line of Best Fit, and more. Between headlining shows and touring with Father John Misty, “Good Looking” surged online, generating nearly a billion streams, going RIAA platinum, and paving the way for the Milk Teeth EP.

Simultaneously, she absorbed inspiration from a season of change earmarked by unforgettable moments a la gracing the stage of Lollapalooza 2023, performing on multiple continents, becoming a mom, and closing out the Gobi Tent at Coachella in 2024. Everything just set the stage for the gold-certified songstress to assert herself as a versatile, vibrant, and vital presence on her 2024 double-LP, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin.
