But in the meantime you can preorder your copy are listen to the "hit single" from their bandcamp. The Rev's EP was self recorded, mixed, mastered true DIY style. Brutal spazz grindcore and a live show to match, I always love seeing these dudes on "stage", its freaking AWESOME.

New Video: Machinoir // The Dissonance Process Split

Posted by Matt

Solo Sydney noisegrind outfit Machinoir is set to release a new split of harshed out lo-fi grind this Friday. The other side of the split is US solo noise project The Dissonance Process and it be released by Lesstalk Records (the label that hosts this blog). Released primarily as a free download and limited run of CD's for those audiophiles who enjoy the art and final product as much/more than the music. Machinoir has previously worked on creating noisescapes for bands including Beyond Terror Beyond Grace and Michael Crafter.

As a little teaser he has released a promotional video, watching it gives you a bit more of a reference to the music that will ensue so I recommend seeing it before downloading. Watch below.

Crab Smasher – Serie Una Di Collaborazione

Posted by Matt

Serie Una Di Collaborazione was originally released back in 2006 at a very limited run on the now defunct Squeamish Recordings. The new version is now available again and has a much cooler cover, through Lesstalk Records.

The entire album was recorded over a couple of months at Annie St Gallery, it marks a defining change in direction for Crab Smasher, finding themselves as a 2-piece for the first time after the departure of founding member Chloe Russell. During a period of uncertainty as to how to proceed Crab Smasher started jamming with their friends regularly, both live and at home. Each of the special guests brought their own skills and sensibilities to the table and enabled them to approach Crab Smasher in new and exciting ways. Featuring collaborations with friends and past members including Nick Senger (Castings), Sarah Humphreys and many more.

Tracklist:

We look down on the ants, why do they not just stop?
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/Troy Sweetman/George Villisanti)

People forgive and forget if you're fantastic
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/Phillipa O'Shea/Kerry Robinson)

If you've got the eyes, i've got the candy
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/James Glines/Michael Liestins)

It is like he wants to grab the hand of joy, clench its fingers with his firm grip and shake it all night
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/Sarah Humphreys)

A blessing and wonderous thing
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/Nick Senger)

The perfume fight
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/David Crews)

Biting his bottom lip and tipping energy into his collection of road lizards with his bowl of guitars, with a sound so far out that it will make women grow beards and the beards of men swallow back into their faces
(Grant Hunter/Nicholas French/Marnie Vaughn)

Download: Radiocaset – Spain’s Early Noisegrind History

Posted by Lachlan

R.O.N.F. RecordsR.O.N.F. Records (Regression of Noise Freaks) are fantastic people who have placed all of their releases on *the* internet archive. That site has an unbelievable amount of free downloads from all corners of the earth. I would advise checking it out. R.O.N.F. Records, as an underground non profit label that deals with underground artists in the noise/grind/experimental vein. They started in 2006 by releasing CD-rs of new and old acts from the early 90's noise explosion which influenced the label managers so much.

RadiocasetAnyway, todays download is an archive of 99 of the earliest Spanish noisecore and grindnoise bands from 1990 through to 1995. That 99 tracks from 99 bands... FREE! Almost of these bands used to record their stuff with a minimum of sources and the tape-recoder (in Spanish thats 'radiocaset', hence the title) as the main tool to capture the audio on their rehearsals, gigs and sessions. Only a few of them used mixers or trackers but the spirit of DIY as well as the improvisation method was present on all of the recordings during this era.

Some of them on this compilation are not noisecore or noise/grind exactly but also industrial, experimental, noise projects with common members with other noise/grind bands on the scene, more in the electronic vein but still with the same spirit. This compilation archives up to almost 100 bands into these styles. Of course, some of the bands being active during those years are not being featured because of lack of any of their recordings, but I dare to say that these are the most representative acts then and some more which are new to some of you. I know the only one I recognise is Holocausto Canibal.
