Islet, El Burro, 1 Jun 2012

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:27:19 +0000

1 Jun 2012 - Rock & Pop at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

‘Illuminated People’ Islets debut album follows 2010’s rapturously received pair of EPs – ‘Celebrate This Place’ and ‘Wimmy’ – which the NME described as being “a sonic boom in the face to anyone who might have thought they had something to hide”. A group who work under a strict autonomy, this is – as a result – their most cohesive sounding work to date.

Unsane, Big Business, 4 Jul 2012

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:27:25 +0000

4 Jul 2012 - Rock & Pop at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

New York City's Unsane assisted in pioneering a more aggressive, less studied version of noise rock, one that blended the scum/art industrial sturm und drang of Foetus, the Swans, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Sonic Youth with the decidedly more straightforward hardcore idiom favored by acts like Sick of It All. As a power trio, Unsane relied upon a hammering, power-press rhythm section, a searing Telecaster howl, and distorted vocals that resembled nothing if not the sound of a man trapped in the New York Subway system.

Joyce Manor , 24 Sep 2012

Mon, 21 May 2012 19:11:38 +0000

24 Sep 2012 - Rock & Pop at Rainbow (& Warehouse)

If you ask the guys of Joyce Manor to describe themselves, they'll tell you the band is "four guys who have a taste for bad Chinese food, Thin Lizzy guitar solos, and calling 'shotgun'." But one listen to their infectiously catchy pop-punk reveals them as much, much more than that. Joyce Manor deconstructs punk rock to its most catchy core with Weezer-esque pop sensibilities and gigantic hooks that beg you to sing along.
