So now we’re caught up and the cool songs are copulatin’, here’s the very best of October ’24. Right here’s the finest of submissions and send-ins.
Glam
“Make the speakers work as hard as they absolutely have to at the high volume that Death Cult deserve…”
“Tiny Dyno are the rarest of acts. They blend the black arts of immaculate pop with the warm glow of sugarspun indie…”
“With gluttonous, gratuitous, cooler than thou sleaze, these lost tapes and live shows show the best of them…”
“It’s as phallic and sex-worn as Beelzebub’s hoof-stick and it’s soaked in a riff heavy glaze. Drag that sound with its glitter and leather and guts right on into the 21st century, and we have something like Midnight Devils…”
“Tin Woodman have gone and resurrected the synthesised camp scifi souls of Midnight Juggernauts, Bondage Fairies and The B52s, and produced this it-thing of a single…”
“The skill and the thrill of a writer on form glows through the best parts of the album. There’s a warmth, a conviction, and a clam lack of fear, and a feeling of freedom that shines…”
“As raucous as Raconteurs, as brooding as Mary Chain, and as gnarly as The Amazons too. With all this flying by in just over three minutes, ‘Caramel’ is tough slice of cool…”
“There’s a myth that a January is musically dead. Let me tell you straight that myth aint true…”
“An exquisite blast of late 80s Cramps stomp and Shonen Knife rockabilly all wrapped in a nu-hiphop ‘tude…”
