We don't know who had the brilliant idea to label as "shoegazer" that musician who used to appear onstage with the head down, like staring at his own shoes instead of the audience. We won't say neither if the term is accurate or not, but anyway we think it's appropiate to refer to The Lions Constellation. And not because they look at their own shoes, but by the fact they've been strongly influenced by those bands. Bands that don't appear to be outgoing, neither explosive onstage. They dive into a state of catharsis when they let the amp feedback fill the atmosphere of the venue, when they let the darkness take over the ambience and build their musical discurse through a wall of sound. The listener lets himself go by the decibels in a kind of slumbering trance. That's what The Lions Constellation have to offer: noisy and black poetry, ellegant and subtile, moncohromatic and atmospheric.

They drink from masters like The Jesus & Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine, but also from Spacemen3, Ride or 13th Floor Elevators. A mix between sixties hippy psichodelia and nineties indie.Though their special personality comes from punk, soul and garage, as this is the background of half of the band, who are renouned and active members of Barcelona's scene: RJ Sinclair, singer of Tokyo Sex Destruction and bass player of It's Not Not, and Graham, Dj of the well-known Apolo [2] dancehall of Barcelona. They hipnotize us and make us balance from one side to another without noticing.

Country: USA.
Genre: Sludge, Noise Rock, Stoner.
Label: Molsook.

I had been meaning to check out this record from Richmond, VA’s Food. I finally got around to laying down some cash and it arrived this past weekend just in time to sit down and see what the band was all about. After hearing five tracks clocking in at just less than forty minutes, I’d say what they are all about is delivering some face melting low end heavy fuzzed out sludge. These are some pretty killer tunes and not the typical kind of drawn out slow churning stoner sort of fuzz that I generally shy away from.

While essentially anything like this will get some Melvins comps Food brings the full force rocking with a pace more so in the way of I’d say Floor or possibly Buzzov*en (sans vocals/samples), especially with the grimy outsider/downer feel the record manages to convey. While the songs are typically stretched out and fairly lengthy Food have no trouble maintaining the intensity and riffage for the duration, stopping for a breath here and there only to amp things right back up and in your face. All I know is that it’s heavy, loud, and that I dig it. Here is to hoping that despite the time it took the band to record this monster (over three years I hear) that more material shows up sooner rather than later or if it all. For now though, give this a listen.

Country: France
Genre: Post-rock, Experimental
Label: Comunication is not words

The last years a couple of nice atmospheric rock/metal/hardcore bands were born in France. Year of No Light, Overmars and Asidefromaday are the best examples and L' Homme Puma can be added to this trio. They are instrumental and operate mostly in the alternative rock spectrum although I also see musical similarities with Burst (for example at the end of "Surtout dans les coins").

L'Homme Puma released a first ten tracks EP in June of 2007 on the label Communication Is Not Words which has been widely reviewed on the web and in the paper press. In 2008, they recorded their first album in Geneva with Thierry Van Osselt (Shora, Honey for Petzi, Shovel, Nostromo, Time to Burn). Twelve tracks were written throughout 2007 among whose nine will figure on the new opus."On Remplace Les Yeux Cassés" will be out in February 2009.

French speeches and electronic interludes (sampling and beats) are woven through autonomous music. It makes L' Homme Puma an interesting new band in this popular genre. In "Toy Division" they share the same atmosphere as the Germans from Long Distance Calling; due to the electronic stuff you can't call them copycats. The nine songs are driving forward like a soundtrack for a drama film.

One of the highlights is the song "Catherine Deneuve", the melancholic atmosphere is slowly taking over the natural temper of the music, as if L' Homme Puma wants to take the listener into a bad mood. Later, in "Plaisir d'offrir", they show glimpses of hope by introducing hopeful xylophone and keyboard sounds. It’s also a way to show how bright the future can be.

With 'On Remplace Les Yeux Cassés' the future looks bright for this French.

Country: New Zealand.
Genre: Post Rock, Post Metal, Drone.
Label: Darkroom.

Ender describe themselves as experimental drone rock - which means their palette is mainly comprised of layered slabs of overdriven guitar........the pair have the capacity not only to construct great caverns of noise but to deftly evoke mood and emotion with sustained tones in harmony and dissonance. The arrangement of pure tone, minus premeditated riffs or the focus of a voice allows a listener to be carried away on its waveforms. The music is corralled into four unnamed parts, perhaps heralding a seasonal life cycle."

Maple - Discography (2001 - 2004)

Procedentes de Barcelona, Maple empezaron a funcionar en 1998, en una línea power pop cercana a bandas como Echobelly, que rápidamente fue definida gracias a la influencia de bandas del circuito emocore como Mineral, Cobolt, Sunny Day Real Estate o Jimmy Eat World. De este modo, sus canciones acabarían convirtiéndose en pequeñas joyas, pequeños "singles", redondos y certeros, que combinan a la perfección melodía pop e intensidad hardcore.

Bama's finest hard-to-pin-down freak n roll superstars bring you a giant dose of 'what?' and 'did they really just do that?'. Bringing together elements of the past and future while punching current trends in the face, El Chupa Cobras bang out familiar phrases in completely unfamiliar ways. Imagine an alternate Earth where the machismo of metal and hardcore was replaced by an appreciation for good songs and a desire to just ROCK. That's where the Cobras are from (they just live in Montgomery for now). Consisting of past members of Ed Kemper Trio, Saragashum, Babydriver, and too many other bands to list, the Cobras' music is the culmination of years of isolation and experimentation. The rest of the world might not know it, but the Central Alabama scene has incubated for years and now it's time to hatch. The Cobras are the vanguard. Choke on that, tough guy!

Country: Indonesia.

Label: Third Arm Records, Purbaharuan Recordings.

Post-rock, in case you're a neophyte, is a genre of alternative rock defined by the use of common rock instruments for non-rock purposes. Guitars and drums are standard, but the rhythms, harmonies, melodies, timbre, and chord progressions used are not found in the rock tradition. Basically, your typical post-rock song will consists of long guitar jams that explore layers of sound in order to create a certain mood. It is a genre that requires not only great technical skill, but a strong melodic imagination. There is quite a considerable number of bands out there in our local scene that dabble in post-rock. Most of them border on only just decent, simply because they lack imagination. There are even fewer bands here that play hardcore post-rock, the darker side of this musical dream-weaving, as this subgenre requires technical mastery and a lucid imagination; which narrows the field of play tremendously. South Jakarta-based GHAUST is one band, however, that manges to thrive beautifully in this dimly lit alley of post-rock. The nightmares constructed by this collective (comprised of Uri A. Putra (guitar) and M. Edward (drums)) are built with the utmost precision. The layering of instruments, the slow but steady progression of hard chords, the grinding distortions and the calculated drums are dispersed in careful doses that guide the listener through each space of the somber realm of their musical machinations.

After a few online releases, as well as participation in various compilations, this year saw the release of GHAUST's self-titled full length debut LP, available nationwide through Purbaharuan Recordings. This powerhouse of an album is guaranteed to take you to corners of your imagination previously untouched by other bands. This record is truly mind-blowing; as you read, I'm still picking up the pieces of my brain that were scattered across the floor upon my first listen. It immediately gets a place on my list of 2008's Top Five Local Releases.

GHAUST is an experience the listener would never want to, or be able to forget. Their music will seep into the nooks and crannies of your mind and build little grim empires in your subconscious. I am truly curious as to how their sound will evolve in the future. I will definitely keep my eyes on these guys. Enough of the grand descriptions, you can learn more about GHAUST firsthand and give a listen to their brilliant pieces at www.myspace.com/soundofghaust. Be sure to leave them some nice comments. Their self-titled debut LP is now available. For a complete listing of record stores that sell the CD, check their myspace page.
