Jackal Onasis - Big Deal Party

Taken from Evans the Death's new album Vanilla, due out on Fortuna POP! on 10 June 2016.

It's their most their most ambitious and experimental album to date, eschewing the more traditional pop structures and hooks of their first two albums, 2012’s self-titled debut and 2015’s critically acclaimed Expect Delays. While Expect Delays was a step towards something more collaborative, experimental and abrasive - a bleak, introspective album that still retained a pop sensibility - Vanilla sees the band veer in an ever more adventurous direction: more aggressive, extroverted and raw.

Evans the Death - Suitcase Jimmy

Glasgow's Batteries, the trading name of bis boy Steven Clark, return with the absolute rock hammer of "Pankhurst". It's a metallic synth-punk blast with a massive, stadium-ready melodic chorus which again seems to channel Queens of the Stone Age playing Devo or vice-versa. There's no denying the metal this time and the thrashy sting in the tail ends proceedings a million miles away from Steven's late 90's origins. Lyrically, it's lobotomy or not to lobotomy - the juxtaposition between wanting to give up and wanting to continue the fight. To be a footnote or a Pankhurst. An insight into new album "The Finishing Line" and its darker twists and turns, "Pankhurst" is Batteries modus operandi in all its glory.

Pankhurst

Sundays is taken from the 'Belly of The Hopeless' EP, produced by Jonathan Swift and available via Frux Tapes. https://fruxtapes.bandcamp.com/album/belly-of-the-hopeless frux 003

The EPs final track, Sundays, sees the tone turn distinctively trip-hop as the twin brothers Psy Ceiling and Dan Demon confront the depths of depression with a hollowing chant of 'Stigmata, take my dagger...' combined with the inventive sampling and moody soundscape of Jonathan Swift. Can the man defeat the monstrous...? 

Lyrics:
Stigmata take my dagger 
Cut my throat and kill the swagger 
Curse the strange in us, become the dangerous 
Can the man, defeat the monstrous? 

Go ahead and open the pictures, unzip the folder 
Self absorbed climates feel the moister 
Sinking under, your airwaves anger, thicker and darker 
My vision delivers insight 
Coughing up stage fright 
This might be the night if you can only realise 
That the tension is undressing and learn these lessons 
Believe diseased questions 

Sleepless nights end the movie 
The credits roll and the room is empty 
Sleepless nights end the movie 
Gloomy like my moods, and they consume me 
Answers are mistaken identities 
Tragedies, without the subtleties or artistic integrities 

Answers are lonely and gritty 
Gloomy like my moods, and they consume me 
Sleepless nights end the movie 
The credits roll and the room is empty 
Sleepless nights end the movie 
Gloomy like my moods, and they consume me 

Stigmata, take my dagger 
Cut my throat and kill the swagger 
Curse the strange in us, become the dangerous 
Can the man, defeat the monstrous? 

I'm emulous and I'm floating on the waves 
Never really capable of taping all those lies to the grave, and i'm fearful there really is a God 
Even though I'm always anxious I'm living like I'm not 
Sticky wickets, watching films in snippets, bracing for a hat trick 
Am I at the steering wheel or am I scalextrix? 

Is he at the steering wheel or is he scalextric? 

Slumberless, I'm one step ahead of you, just one more year to go 

I've been touched by a King 
I whispered to the wind 
It's hard to be happy when your heart is made of tin

Ceiling Demons are an alternative art-rap band from rural northern England. Born out of bereavement and taking influence from artists such as The Streets, Joy Division, Tricky and Serengeti. Combining poetic wordplay from front men and twin brothers; Psy Ceiling and Dan Demon over cinematic instrumentals, Ceiling Demons aim to strike your heartstrings with their intense and chaotic performances touching on themes of love and loss. Art over entertainment, delivered with a punk philosophy. The Demons are strong advocates of addressing mental health issues in their art and have worked extensively with suicide prevention charities such as CALM to raise awareness and funds for a cause close to their hearts. They’ve also supported the likes of Young Fathers, Sleaford Mods and Busdriver among other favourites and are championed by Louder Than War and NARC Magazine in the UK for their passionate live shows. Their critically acclaimed album Nil has been released by two independent record labels since it first emerged in late 2017 with Win Big Records initially putting out the album on CD and cassette formats before DIY record label; Butterfly Effect re-issued the album as a beautiful limited vinyl in 2018 with profits going towards mental health charity - Men Tell Health.

'With Nil descends a darkness, themes of male suicide, of loneliness, and lost hope prevail but with a sense of positivity that everything will and can be overcome.' 9/10 - Louder Than War

'Living and dying by their definition of the dark arts, this will greatly benefit your gramophone.' - Monolith Cocktail

'Devastatingly beautiful.' - Spotlight Music UK

'A totally unique sound, which is borderline masterpiece.' - For The Love of Bands

'An undeniably bracing listen.' - The Crack

'Amazingly powerful and heartfelt' - Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

'A curiously beautiful meditation on life and death that muses on the afterlife and the enduring nature of love'. - NARC Magazine

'Music that stresses talent and creativity' - EARMILK

Overblown is all about subterranean music. We aim to champion bands and record labels that we are passionate about and are overlooked and undervalued by the mainstream media machine, while still paying homage to the iconic bands and labels who laid and developed the groundwork for today’s emerging talent. Whether it is post punk, shoegaze, sludge metal, noise rock, or anything in between, we want to bring these alternative music genres to the fore.
