For over a decade, Throw Down Bones have fused psych rock with industrial, noise, and krautrock across their three albums. This mix creates an overwhelming intensity—especially in a live setting. Now, you can experience it at home. Live At Fuzz Club Festival 2024 (Rubber Duck) captures seven tracks from last…

Review: Dead Meadow – Voyager To Voyager
For 26 years, Dead Meadow have been traveling through space and time. But last year, the band suffered a heavy loss—bassist Steve Kille passed away from cancer, leaving the band as a duo. Under this shadow, Voyager to Voyager (Heavy Psych Sounds) is a deeply melancholic album. Kille was still…

Review: POPULATION II – Maintenant Jamais
The sound of POPULATION II has always had its charm—frantic psych rock infused with prog elements, pulling off five twists in two seconds. But stretched over an entire album, it often felt overwhelming, almost exhausting, as the Canadian band set everything ablaze. With Maintenant Jamais (Bonsound), that changes. Producer Dominic…

Review: The Sun Or The Moon – Into The Light
The Sun Or The Moon open their third album, Into The Light (Tonzonen), with a three-part piece. Mutant Discotheque reveals everything you need to know about where the German band stands right now. Their new work is atmospheric and proggy. Shedding their earlier psych-rock tendencies, The Sun Or The Moon…

Review: Motorbike – Kick It Over
Dakota Carlyle and Dylan McCartney, usually known for their eccentric sounds in The Serfs and The Drin, take a different route with Motorbike—throwing on leather jackets and rocking out. The band itself was born out of an accident. Bassist/engineer Jerome Westerkamp crashed his motorcycle, and that was reason enough to…

Review: Gnod & White Hills – Drop Out III
Gnod and White Hills first crossed paths on 2008’s Aquarian Downer. Both bands share a love for psych rock, but this collaboration brought together Gnod’s dense, heavy sound with White Hills’ far-out spacey textures—creating something truly special. Clearly, they felt the same, as they continued to meet for further sessions….

Review: Private Lives – Salt of the Earth
Just over two years ago, Private Lives delivered a true gem with Hit Record—a perfect blend of catchy rock ‘n’ roll and sugary sweet power pop. Now, they continue down that path with Salt of the Earth (Feel It). “Pure pop for now people,” reads the press release. A half-hour…

Review: Nape Neck – Nape Neck
Erase Errata left a gap for punky, noisy New Wave—one that Nape Neck now seems poised to fill. The Leeds-based band immediately feels familiar, channeling the legendary Californians with shredding, jittery urgency and a hypnotic, cool groove. Their new self-titled release (via Dot Dash / Red Wig / OCCII) compiles…

Video: CIVIC – Chrome Dipped
Until now, CIVIC were known for their gritty, high-speed proto-punk. With their new album, the Australian band is embracing new influences. Chrome Dipped (ATO) is set for release on May 30. The newly unveiled title track leans into post-punk territory—melodic yet still hard-hitting.

Review: The Devils – Devil`s Got It
For their ten-year anniversary, Erika Switchblade and Lazy Blacula are looking back at their roots. What shaped the sound of The Devils? What were—and still are—their biggest influences? Blues and soul, of course, and on their sixth album, these elements are generously mixed into their signature garage rock. Devil’s Got…
