London-based band that combines the trippy psych of the '60s with the hazy psych of '90s dream poppers.   With one foot in the jangling, psychedelic world of the '60s and one in the jangling, psychedelic world of '90s dream pop, London's Charles Howl add in some surf, post-punk, indie pop, and '70s German rock influences to round their sound out nicely. Comprising guitarist/vocalist Danny Nellis (aka Charles Howl) and guitarist Bobby Syme (aka Danny Voltaire), the band formed when Nellis set aside his Jerry Tropicano project...

from Sir Vices 2015
The duo of Charles Howl and Danny Voltaire are lovers of hazy, misty psychedelic sounds as heard since the 1960s. As the rhythm section of the Proper Ornaments, they get a chance to play a Velvet Underground style, but on their own as the driving force behind the band Charles Howl, they cast a wide net that gathers in all sorts of trippy sounds on their debut album Sir Vices. Taking all they can from the best practitioners of psychedelic sounds, whether it's the rambling feel of the 13th Floor Elevators, the tinny jangle of the Paisley Underground bands, the repetitive waves of sound of My Bloody Valentine, or the reverb-heavy crunch of modern groups like Crystal Stilts. A long list of styles and bands like that might lead one to think that Charles Howl are overly derivative, but that's not the case at all. Thanks to a light-fingered touch, they manage to beg, borrow, and steal just enough here and there to help build a sound that is mostly theirs alone. Plus, the songs are good enough that it wouldn't really matter if they heisted every fuzz box, Farfisa organ, and chord progression that was left lying around unguarded...

British all-female quartet revisits influences from London's punk heyday with its own brand of noisy, blistering music.  The all-female post-punk four-piece Savages recall the tenacity and more artistic movements of London's punk heyday with their blistering sound and noisy guitars. Hailing from the English capital, they formed at the end of 2011 after guitarist Gemma Thompson and singer Camille Berthomier -- known as Jehnny Beth -- had procrastinated over a name and starting a band until they eventually settled on Savages and set to work writing songs. Soon after, Ayse Hassan joined on bass and Fay Milton completed the lineup on drums.

from Adore Life 2016
On Silence Yourself, Savages' passion burned so brightly it seemed like it might consume itself before they could record a second album. Fortunately, Adore Life proves that the band not only has the endurance to return, but the finesse to come back better than ever. Jehnny Beth and company sound as bold as they did on their debut, but with a newfound precision that only makes their impact more powerful. Adore Life depicts love's most fearsome and joyous sides with a hunger that feels like these songs are really about devouring and being devoured...

Dreamy but aggressive guitar-based indie pop from Vancouver, led by guitarist and songwriter Jo Hirabayashi. A band whose music exists somewhere between dream pop, shoegaze, indie rock, and prog, Jo Passed balance languid melodies and blissed-out vocals against guitar figures that are by turns artful and aggressively physical. The Vancouver-based group was formed by guitarist and songwriter Jo Hirabayashi in 2015, originally as a two-man recording project with drummer Mac Lawrie; this edition of the group produced two EPs in 2016. After a sojourn in Montreal, the band expanded to a quartet with the addition of guitarist Bella Bébé and bassist Megan-Magdalena Bourne.

from Out 2016
...If you’re a fan of heavy layers of distortion and reverb, then this EP is going to speak volumes to you. Concerning the volume, Jo Passed get LOUD to the point of drowning out Hirabayashi’s vocals. Appropriately, there’s a song titled “Rage” on the Out EP, but it’s not the cannon blast of chaos you’d expect from its name. The song’s declarations of rage are more subtle than the EP’s opener “In”. Instead, “Rage” is comparable with sludgy, stoner rock. Hirabayashi does seem to be an admirer of Ty Segall’s balls-to-the-walls bad assery. Four out of five of Out‘s songs drive this point home with “Spring” being the most volatile; reaching thunderous highs and easing into a calm climax...
