The 2014 edition will feature a pairing of Raleigh, NC’s Ghostt Bllonde with Windsor, VT’s The Pilgrims.

Ghostt Bllonde have been on some kind of […]

It has been over a year since dear friend Luke C entered a rumored retirement. Thankfully, for all of us, the Rza of Little Ascutney has returned with a new project, Prism Sleep. Four new EPs, titled 001, 002, 003 and 004 have been released on his bandcamp each featuring two songs. A scummy, creepy Black Angels blues and reverse amphetamine wash out run through the tracks like Luke started a cult out in them Reading hills and a couple […]

Emerging from the ashes of Thompson Gunner, the new stripped down and ripped up five songs are like John Waters’ Cry Baby on a bender.

Sometimes it’s nice when things are easy. Sometimes you wanna be challenged, you get the model kit to work through the pieces. The journey from A-B. But, don’t you wish that the mundane dimension could slip away at any second to an adventure? You’re at work and get washed down a sink drain and now you are stuck on some kind of freak island with B movie babe’s in cardboard fins singing a siren song calling you to the depth’s […]
