Review: Splitterzelle – Splitterzelle
Pedro Pestana (of 10,000 Russos) and Sidney Jaffe (of Arcane Allies, Burnpilot) have crafted two albums under the name Splitterzelle.

The album is far more techno-influenced, refined,…

Review: Delivery – Force Majeure
The many voices are what make Delivery stand out. Four of the five members sing, each bringing their unique preferences to the mix. Perhaps that’s why Force Majeure (Heavenly), the new album from the Australian band, is so fantastic. Their roots lie in garage rock and punk, but from there,…

Review: Lambrini Girls – Who Let The Dogs Out
Thank you for the earworm, Lambrini Girls! Thankfully, the debut (via City Slang) from this British duo shares little in common with the Baha Men. Instead, it’s a fast-paced, rumbling noise-punk affair, infused with furious shouts tackling socially critical themes. Produced by Daniel Fox of Gilla Band—who’s been carving out…
