BLACK DOLDRUMS

Monica Melissano

Black Doldrums, the lauded London-based power-duo, are returning with their expansive new EP ‘She Divine’ on premiere shoegaze indie Club AC30.
Known for delivering layered echo-drenched guitar with heavy, relentless drums, Black Doldrums create transient and euphoric dark psychedelia and they’ve once again captured their raw, untamed energy with the help of producer Pat Collier at Perry Vale Studios (The Jesus and Mary Chain, X-Ray Spex, Purple Heart Parade, Is Bliss). Recalling the early ragged glory of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or the Black Angels, Black Doldrums are instantly recognised for their malevolent drums and gloriously ferocious riffs. The band is influenced by much of the proto-psych of the 60s, icy post-punk of the 80’s and the Brit-rock swagger of the 90’s. Continue reading BLACK DOLDRUMS

In early 2020 they will released their second album, co-produced with Maurizio Baggio and published by the cult label Cleopatra Records (USA).
It’s a terrific work, featuring 10 songs marked by a dark and electronic aura, with a perfect combination of the voices, powerful drum machines and sharp guitars. Continue reading PARANORMALES

OHMNS

Monica Melissano

Loud, fierce and savage, OHMNS from Liverpool deliver a Garage Punk snarl that sounds truly ferocious! Live at times it’s mayhem. Chaotic scenes on stage. Tough driving beats, piercing guitars, dirty rumbling bass lines and all four band members sharing screaming vocal duties. It’s pure excitement! The band got to work playing gig after gig and quickly established themselves as favourites on the live circuit playing with bands such as The Black Lips, The Gories, No Age and The Parrots.
