KING TUFF (19/05/2013 - De Kreun / Kortrijk)

Teenage targets.

After the demise of Toronto’s hardcoremongers No Warning, Ben Cook aka Young Governor and company decided to start a new project with a different musical approach which became Marvelous Darlings. All the singles from these Canadian powerpoppers have been finally compiled on one LP entitled “Single life”.
The LP is available via their label Deranged Records or buy the tape of the same album via Burger Records (USA). Expect catchy and well-written powerpop with enough hard edge to stay punk!
You’ll find a stream of the whole album below. And check out Ben Cook’s personal blog for all info about his musical endeavors.

- REIGNING SOUND - Abdication … for your love

We still consider “Time bomb high school” as their magnum opus but Reigning Sound has never let us down. New killer work by Greg Cartwright & Co.!

- CRYSTAL STILTS – Radiant door

This 12” EP will soon be available via Sacred Bones Records. Hazy, dreamy, fuzzy and psychedelic. New work by one of the better bands coming out of NYC!

That's no way to rock'n'roll.

The best single of 2011 so far. This is pretty much punk-rock-perfection!
Click the link below and you’ll hear the first single of OBN III’s. A new band from Austin (Texas) who took 2011 by storm. Two more singles and one LP already followed this debut single on Super Secret Records. Definitely one of the best new (punk)rockacts today and what makes it even better is that there is talk of an European tour in 2012. Let’s hope so!
In the meanwhile: enjoy these 2 fantastic cuts and buy if you like!

I’m posting this because this is some very cool homefront material. It’s (still) rare having great underground bands performing in Ghent so this show was very much anticipated & welcomed by us.
In January 2011, The Feeling Of Love played a free show in bar “Kinky Star” in Ghent organised by the guys from KRAAK. Their LP “Dissolve me” hadn’t been released yet but you’ll notice that most songs on TFOL’s setlist were from that album.
All of Helter Skelter were in attendance that night and liked it a lot. Thanks to the guys of “Kinky Star”, you’re now able to judge for yourself! Enjoy!
