Hey, listen to this! This is good, you have to hear this! Who is this, this rules, this is why we do it, all the headpeckers in the world can’t shoot this down... Tasting sweat and beautiful...
 

Leave The Capital will be supporting People In Planes in Cardiff on December 19th at The Coal  Exchange.

Thanks.

THE PRISCILLAS say “We're playing with The Damned on Saturday! In LONDON  It's last minute, but yes, we're playing with our favourite punk rock band  ever. The Damned! Neat! Neat! Neat!  We love them.  It's at the Islington Academy in a shopping centre in Islington.  Tickets from here. We're on VERY early, so be in as the doors open. Oh, and be sure to listen to 6Music's breakfast show on Wednesday 20th December - we're going to be Phill Jupitus' special guests at 9.30am. Double yay. And, of course, our free Christmas single is still available to download at our MySpace page. www.myspace.com/thepriscillas” They forgot to say they were on Organ TV for one last time this coming week as well  with their excellent All My Friends Are Zombies video.

MORRICONE TO GET OSCAR - Ennio Morricone, the composer most famous for providing film scores for the likes of 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly', and 'Cinema Paradiso', is to receive an honorary Oscar when the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences holds its annual ceremony on 25 Feb next year. Morricone, who has composed more than 300 scores during the course of his forty five year career, has received five previous Academy Award nominations - for 1978's 'Days Of Heaven', 1986's 'The Mission', 1987's 'The Untouchables, 1991's 'Bugsy' and 2000's 'Malena' - but never actually won the Oscar, which seems like something of an oversight, really. Anyway, the Academy are apparently ready to address that oversight with the honorary award recognising "his magnificent and multi-faceted contributions to the art of film music". Academy president Sid Ganis said: "The board was responding not just to the remarkable number of scores that Mr. Morricone has produced, but to the fact that so many of them are beloved and popular masterpieces." THE STOOGES are to release their comeback album at the end of March. It's to be called 'The Weirdness', and will be the legendary band's first studio album in more than 30 years. ANTHRAX are to have a double live CD released on January 22 by Universal Music Catalogue. Called 'Caught In A Mosh - BBC Live In Concert', one CD features the band's performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on February 15, 1987, while the other was recorded during the band's Monsters Of Rock Festival set at Donington on August 22, 1987. x

DEMO OF THE WEEK
MAYORS OF MIYAZAKI – Kancho – Whooooo, we trawl through and through, throwing on new CD after new CD, not really looking at the cover or all the blurb and accompanying hype, waiting for the music to grab us. Most of the time the music doesn’t, most of the time we just politely pass by and move on to the next in the ever demanding pile. We dive in knowing full well that the trawl will be worth it and it may take another sixteen duds before something demands our words - we know the potential treasures are there waiting. The Mayors are yet another band from Cardiff, they left the capital (subliminal advertising, the new Leave The Capital single is out in Jan) and moved to London in search of those paved streets of gold. The Mayors have the gold already, they just hit us with five instantly demanding tracks; it’s that bendy shouty pointy churning thing that much loved bands like Muy Feo or Mariachi (I see they’re back) or Scissormen or Homage Freaks did. Some wired kind of urgent math rock that doesn’t quite add up – I like it when the math doesn’t quite add up. Hardboiled yet easy to lock in to, we got one here, oh yes, more top grade Organ fuel. Five clever demanding slightly abrasive, not too abrasive, their hardboiled edgy musical awkwardness is not difficult to swallow. Nice artwork too. Five tracks, each and every one a favourite, I can’t choose. Well recorded, well played, well well well – I think you’ll be hearing a lot more from us about the Mayors Of Miyazaki in 2007 – don’t wait until then though, I see they have some MP3s that you can download and this fine CD is well worth sending off some of you hard earned money for.  The Mayors are the sound that enters your head when you look at those overcrowded phone line masts where all the conversations jump in to one and fend off the pointy riffs and the thrilling undercurrents. We like this lots, you will tooooooooo... www.mayorsofmiyazaki.com

ALSO CHECK OUT
KUTOSIS – Control Control - Well I wasn’t that impressed until the last of the three tracks came crashing in through the door pushing the other two polite things spiralling and scratching out of the way with some wired up (s)punk rock spit’n polish urgency and do-you-see-me attitude that’s obviously been feasting on the corpse of 1978 Buzzcocks. So why the hell were the first two tracks so polite and sounding more like a bunch of Manic Street preacher’s fans on a day off from music college?  Why is that second track, 79, so safe and pedestrian and punk-by-numbers boring? One and a half out of three ain’t bad, we’ll see, we’re almost impressed now. They’re from Cardiff, not bad, we expect better next time. www.myspace.com/kutosis

FADE TO SEPIA - Well I wasn’t that impressed until the second track came crashing and jack-boot stomping through the door, pushing the first polite thing spiralling and scratching out of the way with some wired up (s)punk rock spit’n agit urgency and all angular new wave defiance a la ‘79. And really if you’re going to rip off the Gang of Four then this is how to do it properly, sounds like Mark E. Smith coming to town (and never wearing a frown). Stark and wired and agit-stomping and demanding attention, forget the opening track the other three are rather fine in a Joy Division, Bloc Party, Fall kind of way.  Like some kind of communist block band you’d hear on John Peel back in the day. Well worth your time and mouse action - www.myspace.com/fadetosepia

ALSO CHECK OUT
IRVING – Death In The Garden, Blood On The Flowers (Eenie Meenie) – Classy, refined inspiring uplifting alternative indie pop, the sort you don’t hear that much anymore. Lush and orchestrated and kind of Echo And The Bunnymen in terms of intelligence and quality - no, more psychedelic and American than the Bunnymen. I don’t know much about Irving, this is their first UK release, seems they’ve been about the US indie scene for some seven or so years now. I don’t know much about Irvine but hey, I do know I like them – I like them like I like The Bunnymen or the rewarding psych-pop edge of The Church. I like the breezy shiny happy bits (with the undercurrents), the bits that make me think fondly of Remy Zero or those Elevator Drops or The Lilys. Not that the very refreshing Irving sound like anyone else, nothing is that obvious here, the namedrops are just vague signposts. Extremely fine breezy positive music (fine artwork too). Just a very fine uplifting refined inviting warm positive alternative indie-pop band who really make you feel good, what more could you want? Out in the UK via Cargo distribution on Jan 15th. www.thebandirving.com / www.eeniemeanie.com / www.cargorecords.co.uk – oh and watch out for their videos on Organ TV in January.

COAXIAL – Coaxial (Gold Standard Laboratories) Whooooooops, almost let this one go by, it came out here in the UK back in October, better late then never and far far too good to let it go by without a mention. From Long Beach California with some kind of crossover spoken word hip-hop that isn’t obvious enough to ever be pinned down and pigeonholed like that. Kind of darkwave hip hop, moody and dark in a kind of Eminem/Free Moral Agents way. Haunting beats and DJ Shadow flavours and refine textures and a strange as this may seem, think Eminem fronting Terminal Cheesecake (two forms sharing a common axis) – yes that good! Unpredictable, stream of consciousness, introspective mystery. Apparently the previous release featured appearances from members of The Mars Volta, that fact along with the post-rock textures of tracks like The Collapse of Polaris will give you more than an idea as to why you need to make the effort to check this highly recommended album out. www.myspace.com/goldstandardlabratories

Well Rip Cruncher video reviewer has gone AWOL, in a blaze of something to do with 96 yard running returns and Ram abuse or something or other. So in the yappy one’s absence feast your eyes on this: Thunder (or somebody of behalf of Thunder, I’m sure Thunder have no idea how to animate a walk cycle and inbetween or... ) an animated video for their current single The Devil Made Me Do It....

After two very well received performances at this year’s Chicago Electric City Rockfest and Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles 6-Pack Weekend IV, BRUTAL TRUTH has expanded their touring plans to include tours of the United Kingdom and Japan in addition to the previously announced headlining position at the 2007 Maryland Death Fest. Additionally, the band will headline the third annual Los Angeles Murderfest in March. A complete listing of tour dates and festival information can be found below.

 The band’s U.K. tour, (sponsored by our friends over at Terrorizer Magazine) will begin early February and include support from NARCOSIS and TOTAL F*CKING DESTRUCTION. 

BRUTAL TRUTH bassist Dan Lilker comments: "The grind freaks in the U.K. have always been very good to Brutal Truth, which makes sense since it is the area that put grindcore on the map in the first place. We can't wait to get over there and destroy, so get ready for some sonic mayhem!"

BRUTAL TRUTH will then head to Japan in early March headlining Extreme The Dojo Tour
Vol. 17 with support from Poland’s VADER. 

BRUTAL TRUTH has recently seen the reissue of their heralded 1997 masterpiece Sounds
of the Animal Kingdom. The re-mastered and repackaged version comes complete with the
preceding Kill Trend Suicide mini-CD (1996), bonus video footage in the form of the band?s
'Dead Smart' video, extensive and exhaustive liner notes from the band, and a forward from
Choosing Death author Albert Mudrian.
