Loose Canon – Monday 14th September 2020 (#368)

BABY STRANGE Release new single ‘More! More! More!’
Their first music via Swedish label Icons Creating Evil Art
 
Glasgow’s Baby Strange take a steadfast, creative, all-encompassing approach to music as an artform and have carved out an almost cult like status for themselves within the underground UK music scene. Latest single ‘More! More! More!’ is as anthemic as it is raw. It sees vocalist and guitarist Johnny Madden reflecting upon time spent listening through “paper thin walls” to house parties fuelled by class A’s and terrible music. “It’s essentially a commentary on a generation that’s stuck in its ways & doesn’t want to grow up,” he says, and continues "It’s 1997 forever and they’re not leaving any time soon. Usually I wouldn’t care but my neighbours are keeping me up at night with their terrible music and self centered chat, so I’ve written a song about it. If you see this Alex, this ones for you."

Its driving, bass heavy guitars and four to the floor drums are encased in a melody that will see heads nodding in the mainstream & pits started in the underground. The track is out now via Swedish independent label Icons Creating Evil Art, in a new union that celebrates a shared vision & resolute, creative determination.

Fronted by the magnetic & alluring Johnny Madden and rounded out by brothers Connaire & Aidan McCann, Baby Strange are about to set out their stall and re-establish themselves as one of the most innovative and uncompromising outfits in the UK.  Since the release of their critically acclaimed 2016 debut album ‘Want It Need It’, Baby Strange have toured tirelessly, building an enthusiastic and dedicated live audience, selling out venues across the UK & sharing stages with the likes of Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Slaves, Jamie T & Wavves.

Far from being just satisfied with focusing on their own journey, Baby Strange took a step further to solidifying themselves within the heart of the music community by launching their own club night ‘Club Sabbath’ back in 2015 at The Priory in Glasgow & The Old Blue Last in London. Since its inception, Club Sabbath has played an active role in building a thriving music community, providing a platform for the likes of Wolf Alice, Fontaines D.C, DMA’s, The Chats, Gang Of Four, The Magic Gang, Nick Allbrook (POND) and Marsicans. Bands such as The Dunts, The Spyres, Dead Pony, Rascalton & Pleasure Heads all cite Baby Strange & Club Sabbath as a direct influence on their musical journeys.

More! More! More!

Baby Strange - More! More! More!

Lead singer Jana Hjalgrimsdottir describes the song as: “Calling it Out is about facing what is pulling you down in life, and then having the courage to cut free from it, even though it can be difficult and painful”

The music is exploring the tension between dreams and desperation, and draws a line to early goth and post punk, but is also forward looking. Fremmand is fronted by the charismatic lead singer Jana Hjalgrimsdóttir, who with her all-in attitude is like the volcano Vesuvius erupting.

Loose Canon – Monday 2nd November 2020 (#373)

Streaming links: https://hypeddit.com/link/mq2rwo

After the releasing their debut LP in June, TMOK are back with a felicitous offering, Bail Me Out. Rustic acoustics are laced through an electro-apocalyptic landscape, reflecting a desire to escape the turmoil and flow like a river. With echoes of our current situation, it was first inspired by the jarring sight of motorway bridges across the beautiful River Avon. Bail Me Out streams 27.11.20.

Lyrics:

What if the world knew how to tell you so?
I think I've found another piece of the puzzle 
In the river, why do you struggle so?
Just lie back and let these feelings wash you away 
If there's peace in all of this, I'll have it all 
My shoulders ache uncontrollable

These obsessions will one day turn to dust
Those economic agents with hours to fill
Under the motorway I have become a reach 
So languid and twire, the world rushes over me
And if only the rumbles above could cease
Like in my dreams my limbs are estuaries

Bail me out again
Bail me out again

We keep on dreaming of getting away
But to another hopeless place 
Maybe we just left it too late
Pour me into a more eternal state

We keep on dreaming of getting away
But to another hopeless place 
Maybe we just left it too late
Pour me into a more eternal state

Bail me out again
Bail me out again
(There's nothing wrong with me)
Bail me out again 
Bail me out again

Bail Me Out

Life Decline

In my head
Images of a girl who makes me feel such dread
Feels so good I won't let it go
She could be the only one who ever came close to seeing
My true self - the only one who I never got to tell

She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know

In my bed
I talk as if she's laying there next to me
But instead
There's an empty space where she should be
I could see my true self looking in the mirror back at me
..Is that what she could see?

She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know

That dread I know will kill me
I'm scared she won't believe me
Should I try again?

When I said I didn't think she was right for me
What I meant - I knew that she was wrong for me
But I still can't escape images in my head
It fills me up with dread

She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
She's gone
I need to find out where it went wrong
Perhaps I'll never know
