The Collapse Board Interview: Kid Congo Powers
Photo by Luz Gallardo Kid Congo Powers rose to prominence in the punk and alternative music scenes of the early 1980s, and is renowned for his collaborations with influential bands like The Gun Club, The Cramps, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. He has also played in Congo Norvell, and with Divine Horsemen, the […]

Muuy Biien – Age of Uncertainty (Autumn Tone)
ACT 1 Cue to a back alley. With their cracked sidewalks that yield scuttling cockroaches at night, they do attract young punks hungry for a back story. To be sure, no one knew the five boys of Muuy Biien then; and one member, at least, was frying chicken for a chain restaurant to make ends […]

SOTD #749 – Big Bill
The new 7” Every City / Food Chain by Austin, Texas, spazzo-nerdcore good-times-every-time-all-the-time “it’s a TV Party” band Big Bill is easily the product of a band of misfits that must have been locked in a room in the 80s with only Urgh! A Music War VHS on loop and nothing but Capri Suns and […]

Hannah Golightly meets ILL, pt. 2: Ari Up, homophobia at home, and definitely no mandolins
Photo by Greta Buitkute. From left to right: Whitney, Hannah, Harri, Fiona. Missed part 1? Backtrack here. Transcribed by Lee Adcock. The original plan was to interview ILL for ten minutes. But where’s the fun in that when there are four like-minded people gathering together to discuss the things that matter to them musically one […]

A new genre of music | the PC tribute band
Thanks to Wallace Wylie for the idea. Here’s his starter. The PC Led Zeppelin. Sample lyric: “Hey hey mama said the way you move/Puts me in the mood for some consensual sex.” “Communication breakdown, it’s always the same. Our gender definitions , as enforced by the capitalist/patriarchal system, make true communication impossible and only by rejecting these narrow […]

The return of Everett True | 95. Some Jerks
I have a theory that Vivian Girls are more similar to Ramones than given credit for. Not only in their sound – and the fact they were the first band to truly get Ramones since Shop Assistants – but also in the way they blazed a trail through the 2000s, inspiring dozens – possibly hundreds – of […]

The return of Everett True | 76. The SMB (Steve Miller Band)
I’m a sucker on a 10-foot pole for tumbledown shit like this. Sometimes, all you want for it is to HURT. Amplifiers turned up till they’re overloading, guitars deep and primal and basic and messy, waves of aural goo goo muck slithering and sliming over everything they touch. Drums pounded like they’re the fucking enemy. Which […]

Crayon – Brick Factory (HHBTM)
I regret not knowing about so much music when I was growing up. For instance – where was Kraftwerk when I was younger, when I could wander down the Autobahn and invent some elaborate fantasy plot on the spot? Why did I never tap into the teenage rebellion of Nirvana (In Utero, to be exact) […]

The return of Everett True | 60. CactusDemonDoom
They say: Post-punk garage rock infused with a little Moontrekkers madness. I say: I like it! Nice indeed. Though I suspect I might like it even more, infused with a little Moonrakers madness. They say: Alternative punk that is kinda weird with pop catchy melodies. I say: They’ve nailed that right, even inverted. Sometimes they go […]
