Fact: the world needs more Killing Joke, and the world needs more bands to realize that the world needs more Killing Joke. No Spill Blood takes Six Finger Satellite and the spazzy noise of Arab of Radar and puts…

Indian Handcrafts recorded their new LP with Toshi Kasai in Los Angeles in December 2014.. stay tuned for more sights and sounds coming from them leading up to the release on Sargent House in 2015.

Chicago instrumental outfit Russian Circles spent much of the final month of 2014 celebrating their 10th anniversary on the road, with a series of East Coast shows accompanied by the Converge/Cave In-affiliated trio Mutoid Man. While their recorded output is worthy in its own right, Russian Circles have long shined brightest as a live act, and a run of packed club shows felt like the perfect way for them to mark a decade together. The two trios brought their disparate-yet-complimentary live acts to Cambridge’s The Sinclair on December 10, 2014.

I have seen Russian Circles at least three times in the past, however never at a show with only two bands playing one of which being the up-and-coming super group Mutoid Man. Around two or so years ago Nick Cageao had told me that he was working on a new project with Ben Koller (Converge) and Stephen Brodsky (Cave In). He showed me some demos of the soon to be Mutoid Man and based on their demos I could tell immediately that this band would be special.
