You are not worthy, we are. It is my firm belief that Public Image Limited, Gang Of Four and Wire deserve their own Hall Of Fame. While none of the three ever shook the world in the way that, say, Sex Pistols did, the music that they produced in the 70s still resonates today. [...]

Mike’s love for all things Italian (as well as endless genre-hopping) continues. Speaking of genre-hopping… There’s seemingly no stone that Patton left unturned in his attempts to cover different sides of Italian music – there’s traditional pop (Mondo Cane), soundtrack work of Ennio Moricone (Fantomas’ Director’s Cut) and finally here’s his tribute to avant-garde [...]

“This is a joke, right?” Those there were some of the first words that were uttered by my high school buddy who sat down with me in order to check out “Angel Dust”. By the time that we got to “Midnight Cowboy” he was laughing hysterically and I was ready to bury my face [...]

Rating: 3.8 out of 5 Label: Ipecac One thing that you can say for sure – Melvins adore their classic FM rock. As if there wasn’t proof enough already (see “Going Blind”, ”Ballad Of Dwight Fry”, “Buick McCane” etc etc), their new album contains a cover of Wings “Let Me Roll On It” [...]
