Violens – All Night Low [2⊘12]

Of the many idiosyncracies of YouTube, some of the most annoying are those videos that are “age-restricted” or “made-for-kids” and for entirely different reasons. One can understand, even empathize with adult content being restricted, inarguably lauded by some artists as a kudo of sorts. But the made-for-kids restriction is utterly flummoxing as it removes the ability to save the video to any playlist for no … Continue reading Violens – All Night Low [2⊘12]

MISSIO ~ #gimmeakiss [2⊘22]

Walked through the spiked punch bowl just to slide down the nice-and-spicy backside of the pleasure-packing party favor without regard for the big booty mess of branded-tan friendly faces lined up at the long john waiting for the pleasure of a load-lightening zippity doo dah only to chug-a-lug mug over at the kitty kill-me-softly keg with Brawny Apple-Spice my most hated nemesis and bestest friend. … Continue reading MISSIO ~ #gimmeakiss [2⊘22]

Grabbitz ~ The Ugly [2⊘22]

Nicholas Chiari (aka Grabbitz) is a non-stop merry-go-round of catchy wonderous electro-pop sights and sounds that never fails to impress. Like the protagonist in his video, he seems to be driven, nay chased by an alter-ego with breathless abandon, perchance a faceless personification of death or time, and always to new and wildly different heights. Grabbitz’s work has been featured here before with his wall-of-sound … Continue reading Grabbitz ~ The Ugly [2⊘22]

Lonely Walk – PGL (Pretty Good Looking)

Another exceptional band from Bordeaux, France, Lonely Walk has been kicking around since releasing a number of EPs to critical acclaim between 2010 and 2014 (VIHS, NGHTMR, and BORE) culminating in their full-album release of TEEN in 2015 containing said track “PGL“. Hypnotic fringe-punk with late-seventies sensibilities might be an apt description for this track portraying the teen-angst of an askance view of someone or … Continue reading Lonely Walk – PGL (Pretty Good Looking)
