Haunted Horses is an industrial-punk duo hailing from Seattle, WA. Their sound is thunderous and chaotic, utilizing wall of noise techniques through an onslaught of keys, guitars and drums. Myke Pelly’s off kilter drumming and Colin Dawson’s architectural noise structures create jittery post-punk that is both upbeat and gloomy. Most recently, the band enlisted Seattle-based MORE…
Gabe, I will remember you like a live electric wire sparking untamed in the middle of a dark highway. I will remember you like a UFO visiting us briefly, leaving a trail of beautiful light sprayed across the sky like gems. I will remember you standing on stage sharing a mic with Bobby, both of MORE…
2005 saw the Ipecac Recordings/Radio Surgery release of The Locust’s “Safety Second, Body Last,” the follow-up EP to their acclaimed album, “Plague Soundscapes.” The concept for SSBL has been explained as one 10-minute song split into two tracks, each of which is further dissected into separate movements. The result is a timeless sci-fi onslaught described MORE…
The power of Queen is one of the few things that people across political and social boundaries can agree upon. Songs like “We Are the Champions,” “Under Pressure,” and “Bicycle Race” are fucking decimators. They would be hits on any planet you can dream of, in any universe worth a damn. Dynamite with a Laser MORE…
With the recent announcement of Heaven’s Pregnant Teens getting a vinyl variant reissue via Three One G, maybe it’s time to take another look at Some Girls’ The DNA Will Have Its Say. Released 17 years ago today, DNA is a relentless, blistering seven-song cyber-vomit expulsion of modern, futuristic, cliché-free hardcore punk rock. The pedigree MORE…
The Las Vegas airport is the worst I’ve been to and it’s also the connecting airport I’ve stopped at the most—the sea of clattering, chiming, ringing slot machines; the gamblers drunk and excited upon landing, drained and sour on the way out, gray-faced, tired. The food in the Las Vegas airport is the worst too; MORE…
Released a year ago today, Silent’s second album on Three One G, Modern Hate, felt like a proper response to these shit-ass times. A year into the pandemic, more years of (still) living in Trump’s America (no matter who’s wearing the clown suit on the big white toilet-throne today), April 2021 fucking SUCKED. It was MORE…
The concept of Cult and Culture began as a short segment created by Justin Pearson, an internationally known musician, record label owner (Three One G), author, and actor. He is best known as bassist/vocalist for bands such as Dead Cross, The Locust, and Retox. Justin has come to know and work with a broad spectrum MORE…
Some pieces of art feel more like a rally cry than a “product.” Released 18 years ago today by Three One G in conjunction with Strictly Amateur Films, This is Circumstantial Evidence is a fireball moment in time captured on film, a brief flash of weird life lived vigorously, and a thing you can never MORE…
Some of the coolest shit is also the briefest lived. More Pain was a thing and then it wasn’t, like in the same furious, relentless speed-charge as its three-song EP. Or was it ever a thing? What differentiates a “band” from a “project”? What lives or happens or exists in the middle-ground between a one-off MORE…
