Siamese Twins - Demo (2011)
Here is a new band playing catchy post-punk with a gothic feel akin to The Cure. There is a shoegaze edge to the sound as well. One of the best demos I've heard this year, give it a listen.

Alaric - S/T 7" (2010)
Alaric is a deathrock band featuring members from UK Subs, Drain the Sky, The Enemies, Noothgrush and Dead and Gone. If you like this then you should also check out Funeral Parade, their demo is some more great gloomy punk, deathrock, post-punk type stuff - think of Rudimentary Peni, early Christian Death, etc.Monday, June 20, 2011

Soft Kill - An Open Door (2011)
Been waiting for this. Post-punk with members of Blessure Grave, and as good as they were, this is just as good. Reminds me of The Chameleons, which isn't a bad thing at all. Based goth.Download

Mueran Humanos - S/T (2010)
Very cool electronic music with Spanish lyrics. This Argentinian (although now residing in Germany) duo offer up a very interesting and enjoyable mix of styles on this debut album. Electronic, post-punk, experimental and gothic styles are all represented, amongst others. Dark, catchy and danceable.

Lydia Lunch - Queen of Siam
I like Lydia Lunch because she is interesting and says what she thinks. Shes not afraid of being honest, obnoxious, rude or controversial. I may not agree always with everything she says, but I respect her because of that honesty and the fact that she has a personality. Oh yeah, Queen of Siam is a really good album too, the track Lady Scarface is my favourite. Its hard to describe the style of this album - kind of jazzy, lounge-y, grungey, post-punky, experimental with an undercurrent of dark sexuality. If anything I could liken it to some of Tom Waits' material, but its still even pretty far from that. Lunch's lyrical styling and delivery is cool, sexy, laid-back and sincere while seeping with don't-give-a-fuck. A truly unique artist.
A cool interview

Contrepoison - ...Until Next Morning
Synthy post-punk side project of one member of Akitsa.
"Contrepoison is the French meaning of the word "antidote". Contrepoison can be seen as an antidote for love. Love often equals tears, sorrow and unexplainable pain.
Contrepoison deals with the dark side of falling in love and love itself. It's about the torment, the obsessions and the unfulfilled desires generated by personal expectations regarding love."

Lifelover - Sjukdom
Some people "get" Lifelover and some people don't. Not necessarily black metal but it doesn't matter; I just find this band interesting, and thats a lot more than you can say about a lot of music these days. A real breath of fresh air within the whole depressive/suicidal/whatever-the-fuck rubbish that has been circulating for way too long. I just wish that I could understand the lyrics as I think that it would add even more to the listening experience. Anyway...my initial impressions of Sjukdom is that is is a very good album and despite my high expectations is not disappointing at all. However, at the moment it doesn't weigh up to the brilliance of their earlier works, but time will tell on that one.Download

Siekiera - Nowa Aleksandria
Polish band who started as fast punk and later changed to a bleak style of post-punk. This is their debut LP from 1986, in the post-punk sound. Recommended.Download

Sedativ - 2002-2003
Some more great stuff from Russia. I'm going to try to post all of the good Russian stuff I find on here as a lot of it is hard to track down (especially if you don't know Russian).
In a way, this reminds me a lot of the whole ambient/post-rock/post-punk black metal type stuff that has been getting popular for a while, except I like this more. There is no black metal here, but the general bleakness brings it to mind for me. Its creator; Roman Sidorov, describes it as "psychedelic suicidal post-punk", which should give a good indication on what it sounds like. Apparently there was only one copy of this album, which was found after Roman's suicide in September 2003. Beautiful album, highly recommended.
