i have met the murderer 
we drank together 
seen him pass by everyday 
and had been warned to keep away 

we never make a plan 
he understands 
to walk around, under noon skies 
hewn wife pictured by passerby 

evil walk with me 
i have seen all the things you have seen 
a handsome killer 
he knows 
the way to 
speak to me 

daylight fills my 
hilltop house 
and i want out 
to venture down 
to the village 
the one in which 
he and I live 

i've fallen for the murderer 
we drank together 
i like to hear 
about prison 
the games that happen within 

evil walk with me 
i have seen all the things you have seen 
a handsome killer 
he knows 
the way to 
speak to me 

i wake you up 
when it is time 
to say goodbye 
you wonder 
where i go all day 
you're on to me, my heart astray 

evil, walk with me 
i have seen 
all the things 
you have seen 
a handsome killer 
he knows the way to speak to me

In demand drummer for Melt Yourself Down and the Owiny Sigoma Band, Tom Skinner, steps out of the spotlight from his recent worldwide successes to rework Kit Grill's track "Velodrome" with an all live set up. Contrasting from the original's very digital tone, Skinny has brought in the help of his previous collaborator, Shabaka Hutchings. Aware that Kit wasn't too keen on having remixes done, Hello Skinny thought it would be more interesting to do a cover version. The idea was to replay some of the core melodic and rhythmic material but rearranged loosely for a more acoustic set up. Hello Skinny started off as a duo between Tom Skinner and clarinetist Shabaka Hutchings so it made sense to go back to this original format for the basis of this cover version.
The whole piece is built around a one-take performance of the main theme from Shabaka on clarinet. A feat of human physical endurance, he manages to maintain the repetition of the part whilst changing the timbre and texture through circular breathing and other extended techniques. We then overdubbed the counter melody and a bass clarinet part. Having the overall shape of the piece, Hello Skinny was able to play a live drum take along to it.
With a bit of extra percussion, liberal use of delay and some distortion the track was taken to close friend and collaborator Chris Morphitis to mix. The whole piece was bounced to 8-track tape and mixed to 2-track tape utilizing his beautiful Studer desk and gorgeous plate reverb. Job done.

Monnone Alone — Eddie

Thrilling Cardiff-based noisepop group Joanna Gruesome have teamed up with their American cousins Perfect Pussy to release a remarkable four song split 7" EP. The release comes packaged in a 24-page comic book, illustrated by cartoonist Phil McAndrew (brother of Perfect Pussy's guitarist Ray McAndrew). The heroine in McAndrew's comic is a "split" between Joanna Gruesome front woman Alanna McArdle and Meredith Graves of Perfect Pussy, who battles misogynists, online trolls and haters everywhere. The EP is being co-released by Fortuna POP!, Captured Tracks and Slumberland on 24 November.

Joanna Gruesome’s terrific debut album “Weird Sister” took the world by storm when it was released last September. Produced by Hookworm’s MJ, the album is brimming with irresistible pop melodies and spiked with dissonant fuzzy jangle, the songs shot through with loud discordant feedback and super-fast, hardcore punk drumbeats. Fantastic press support saw glowing press reviews across the board with particular love from Pitchfork and from NME, including a spot on the front cover as part of their Rule Britannia issue. At radio the singles from the album scored a remarkable three out of three in BBC 6Music B-lists and the band played sessions for Lauren Laverne on 6Music and for Huw Stephens on Radio One. The album has recently been shortlisted for this year’s Welsh Music Prize. The two tracks here follow their recently released split EP with Trust Fund and represent some of the first new material to be heard from the band since the release of “Weird Sister” and, in lead track “Psykick Espionage” a taste of their new album to be released in the first half of 2015. Their second track “...And Keep Reaching for Those Stars” is a cover of a song by 90s US emo band I Hate Myself.

Hailing from Syracuse, New York, Perfect Pussy are one of the boldest and most intriguing projects to surface in recent years. Veiled beneath layers of exquisitely abrasive noise, frontwoman Meredith Graves’ lyrics are disarming, brutally honest and poetic, possessing a feverish intensity that can only be matched by her electric stage presence. Their album ‘Say Yes to Love’ was released on Captured Tracks in March 2014 to widespread critical acclaim. On this EP Perfect Pussy cover Björk’s old band the Sugarcubes’ “Leash Called Love” and also contribute the new track “Adult World (The Secret)”.

USELESS EATERS - "Dungeon"

I am currently working on this song. Words will change, melodies may change, it is imperfect but I wanted to share my process with people who are interested!

Lucidity (Work in Progress Experiment)

Quebec City-based death metal trio and recent Unique Leader signees, UNBREAKABLE HATRED, will unleash the audio carnage of their forthcoming new full-length next month. Titled Ruins, the eight-track face-breaker was recorded by Chris Donaldson at The Grid Studios (Cryptopsy, Despised Icon, Neuraxis etc.) and is a sincere and violent exercise in spine-shattering malevolence; relentlessly fast, precise and rabid with enough brutalic grooves to windmill your way into oblivion.

Pummeling ears since 2008, the band has already earned the respect and adulation from some of extreme metal’s most esteemed figureheads. Suffocation’s Terrance Hobbs calls UNBREAKABLE HATRED, “one of Canada’s premier death metal acts,” adding, “this trio of power lays waste to the listeners ear drums on every level and then some!” “UNBREAKABLE HATRED blew us away each night with their energy and ripping songs,” championed Misery Index’s Jason Netherton, “it was a total pleasure to have them on our tour… Ferocious!” Cryptopsy’s Flo Mounier concurs, “UNBREAKABLE HATRED are definitely one of the new bands out there to be recognized! Once again proving that Quebec musicians are on top of their game!”

No Clean Singing today spews forth the first official helping of the record in the form of its title track, noting of the four-minute bruise fest, “It wastes no time putting your brain into a centrifuge and whipping it around at high speed, while sending the device soaring and diving like a hawk at the same time. The fretwork and drumming are fast and furious, yet all the abundant instrumental athleticism is harnessed within a song structure that’s anchored by punishing grooves that pull you solidly back to earth (and drive you straight down into it, too) just when you think the music is going to fly off into space. And the howling vocals are just as crazed and vicious as the relentless instrumental decimation. No doubt, this band lives in the red zone – but they know how to put rhythmic and melodic hooks into their turbocharged music, to give you something to remember and come back to, in addition to the full-on adrenaline rush you get in the immediacy of listening. UNBREAKABLE HATRED makes a fine addition to an already impressive Unique Leader roster.”
Tear a ligament to the sounds of “Ruins,” now playing at No Clean Singing HERE.

Ruins Track Listing:
1. Addiction
2. Dysfunctional System
3. Natural Disaster
4. Ruins
5. Unpredictable Brutality
6. The Beginning Of The End
7. Luxurious Sickness
8. Primitive Thoughts

Forged by guitarist Philippe Drouin, his drummer brother Dominic and vocalist/bassist Simon B. Lapointe, UNBREAKABLE HATRED manifests a mutinous amalgam of old-school death metal brutality, modern technical wizardry and blistering groove making for a relentlessly visceral sound expedition. The band released their debut full-length, Total Chaos, in 2011 via Galy/Lacerated Enemy Records. Largely underrated but no less scalding, Sea Of Tranquility noted, “UNBREAKABLE HATRED… play a brand of technical death metal and grindcore that is as brutal as it is catchy,” further crowning it, “an all-around solid affair that shows plenty of promise.” In a 4/5 rating, Sputnik Music applauded the band’s versatility. “Rather than remaining excessively tethered to a single structure, Total Chaos often has varying time signatures between the instruments that resonate well when meshed just right – particularly the rhythm guitar and the drums – and that the band pulled this feat off and still have a sound structure just screams skilled.” Added Bravewords, “Fortifying the link between Dying Fetus, Cryptopsy and The Last Felony, UNBREAKABLE HATRED is one of Quebec’s latest new hopes, the group a feat of technical death worthy of some sort of engineering degree… Total Chaos is a record built on supreme musicianship, attention to detail and a steely determination to impart its will while crawling through the haze of the multitude.”

UNBREAKABLE HATRED will release the fittingly-titled Ruins via Unique Leader Records on August 21st, 2015.
