Trust drop "Sulk" from forthcoming TRST album
I’ve always loved the Arts & Crafts label … talk about a diverse roster, they only push that reputation forward with the soon-to-be-released album from Trust, conveniently titled TRST. This duo work a sound that’s heavy on gothy synths and disconnected vocals while meshing it all together into something slightly poppy but definitely genuine. They’ve just dropped a...

Canada's Elliott Brood descend upon Chicago Feb...
While the alt-country genre is one I rarely frequent through my music listening habits, I’ve found something strikingly unique and undoubtedly fun about Canada’s own Elliott Brood. Let’s set aside the Paper Bag label they call home (also home to Austra, Young Galaxy, and You Say Party), and save for the fact that Canada has given us some consistently good music over the years....

Swedish talent Soso is hardly so-so
Damn, do I love my Swedish pop music. My list of favorite Swedish artists is neverending and only continues to grow - and now there’s another name to add to the list, Soso. Her real name is Monica Belluci and her pipes harness an intensity that only be described as hellishly angelic. If that just doesn’t make sense to you, then watch her newly released video for “Who’s...

Scissor Sisters Are Back - and with Boys Noize...
So let me get this straight - not only are the Scissor Sisters back already, but they’ve been produced by Boys Noize, who also helped with writing - and this track features Azealia Banks (aka Krystal Pepsy)?? Sign me up. I’ve always loved these guys but if their upcoming album sounds anything like this, they might transform me into a full-on rabid fan. -Neil Miller, Jr.

When Hacking and Slashing isn't enough... →
You get a bigger weapon. Hack/Slash is an easy comic to love, especially if you are a fan of Horror films in any way. Each story is like a good self aware slasher flick, something that only comes along once every year or so otherwise. The Hack Slash annual, Hatchet/Slash is an extra large issue. It’s like you get a whole movie in one comic. If you haven’t kept up with Hack/Slash,...

David Lapham goes Feral in new comic! →
I’m not really that into werewolves, but if anyone can get me all giddy over them, it is mister Lapham, especially when he is dealing with them in a small town setting.The artwork by Gabriel Andrade looks as if it has been influenced heavily by the work Raulo Cacerces did with Lapham on Crossed. This means intensely creative splashy acid-trip gore exploding from every page. The best thing...

Alien: The Director's Cut @ The Music Box Theatre →
One of the best things ever committed to film shown uncut, as the director intended. There is no need to explain the importance of this movie and the twisted-space-sex-violence-ooze-world created by Giger/Scott in it.
One showing only: Midnight Dec 30. $9.25

Brooklyn duo CREEP drop new track/video, "Animals"
CREEP just won’t stop. This Brooklyn duo of acclaimed producers Lauren Flax and Lauren Dillard have already wowed us with dark, minimalistic (yet infectious) tracks featuring diverse guest spots from The xx’s Romy Madley-Croft and Nina Sky. To say they’re doing something groundbreaking with their unique sound would simply not do CREEP justice.
Now they’re back with...

The Secret Service: New comic from the creator of... →
Set for a February release, The Secret Service already has me jittery with excitement. Mark Millar of Kick-Ass fame has teamed up with none other than Dave Gibbons, the man behind the art of Watchmen for this comic series, which is still shrouded in mystery at this point. The Ebay auction to name the super villain in the comic has already ended, but check out the article for more info. via...
