Brian Hoffer was born and raised. As a child, he was so advanced for his age that, on his 12th birthday, he turned 15. He now looks forward to being a teenager again (when he turns 113). Until then, Brian writes songs while living and working in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His nickname is Bryan, and his last name is pronounced with a long "o," as if it were Hofer. Brian is incapable of understanding why anyone would discontinue production of Wacky Wafers. He often wonders how much of his knowledge was gleaned from watching bad TV sitcoms and worries that most of that information was, is, and will forever remain untrue. Brian recently completed his first album and invites you to join him as he ventures Into the Boulevard. On February 15, 2012, Brian was grateful that SoundCloud named him "SoundClouder of the Day."

Some artists transcend the need for award, but are nonetheless deserving of decades of accolade.

Burning Spear is such an artist.

A music-maker, community icon, educator, spiritual uplifter; Burning Spear's importance to culture existed before media spotlight, and has only grown since.

For nearly four decades and more than 25 albums, he has carried the torch of the gospel of political activist Marcus Garvey, promoting self-determination and self-reliance for African descendants through lyrics and rhythms that truly deliver the messages of peace and love to all.

Formed in 2019, the London based band quickly garnered attention across the shoegaze, psych and post-punk scenes, including bagging support slots with Helicon, Cult Of Dom Keller, Mayflower Madame, The Third Sound, You Said Strange, Firefriend, Daiistar and Magic Shoppe along the way. Elements of their influnces can be traced back to late 60's psychedelia, the independent post-punk scene, through to the shoegazing era of the early 90's. Expect swathes of layered guitars icy synth textures washed in reverb, juxtaposed with pounding bass lines and abrasive drums to round off the sonic palette.

‘Infinite’ album reviews

Turn Up The Volume (BE) - Album Of The Month/ Best Albums Of 2021
‘..the amplified haziness of Slowdive, the mystifying nightmares of Spacemen 3, the multi-layer-constructing skills of My Bloody Valentine.’

‘Ghost Patterns design hallucinating soundscapes, sonic shadowplays where synths and guitars duel with each other while tireless drums dauntlessly beat, and wailing voices wander in an enigmatic fog of reverberation.’


Isolation Records (UK)
‘Though influenced by shoegaze and post-punk, it is psychedelia that dominates this melting pot of sound. There are heavy drones, fuzz and distortion as synths play against 
guitars and any melodies have to battle simply to survive.’

Onyx Music Reviews (AUS)
 ‘The noise-scape quality is akin to the early years of Ride or The Jesus And Mary Chain, of whom both have used wonderful melodies wrapped in sonic walls of noise.’


'Disappears' Single reviews

White Light/ White Heat (IT) '...A heady dark and immersive blend of shoegaze atmospheric introspection, post-punk moodiness and subtle lysergic nuances.’

Turn Up The Volume (BE) 'Haunting guitars a la Interpol...translated into a mind blowing psychedelic escapade.’

Track Of The Day 'Disappears' - Little Indie blogs (UK), Noise Artists (FR/ Worldwide) December 2019 Playlist, Shoegazer Sanctuary Radio playlists.
