Thats right folks, upcoming SUMMER SIZZLER openers are joining Superhot Records to release single, OYA by heavy psych soul trio Vodun on 10th June

Vodun, the ex-Invasion heavy-psych-soul trio from London have teamed up with Superhot Records to release their upcoming single OYA, on 10th June 2013. The band are hosting a release party on 7th June at The Victoria in Dalston, London where they will also show an exclusive screening of the video for OYA. The video and digital single will be available direct from Superhot Records, Vodun, iTunes and Spotify from Monday 10th.

Featuring two members of one London’s finest underground bands, Invasion, who disbanded in 2011, Vodun have taken the basic blueprint of that band, added a huge West African voodoo influence and ramped up the intensity across the board. Chan (vocals) and Zel (drums) found a kindred spirit in Oli (guitar) and emerged as a more technically accomplished, musically aggressive and energetic band.

OYA follows on from the self released EP Eat up the Sun; 7 songs recorded over 2 days at Holy Mountain studios. The EP was launched in April earlier this year at a sold out show in London which also doubled as their first live outing as a band. The EP showcases their particularly original blend of shredding guitars, forceful drumming and soulful vocals and is currently available direct from the band’s own Bandcamp: http://vodun.bandcamp.com/.

STEAK have done it again, except this time its 5 nice perfectly polished slabs of tasty meat! The songs are bigger and brasher and the production (apparently mixed and mastered by the bands good friends Truckfighters) lifts the guitar and vocal sound to new heights. I remember hearing the track ‘Whiskey Mule’ some time back at the launch for the previous EP and it was a belter then. As with most songs, over time it has evolved into a much more fun and groove laden beast since its first playing way back when.

‘Black Milk’ is by far the heaviest thing they have done yet and makes me want to down a bottle of Jack Daniels in one and the follower ‘Liquid Gold’ has a riff in it that will forever remain in your cranium, all in all a damn good second offering from the lads!

Make sure that if you are in London town tonight that you make it to the launch show alongside the quirky SIR ADMIRAL CLOUDSEY SHOVEL and CRYSTAL HEAD.

In our penultimate addition to the Summer Sizzler’s ‘Garden Stage’ we welcome lords of soulful misery THE DEATH LETTER. These guys have been making audiences rethink their lives for some time now and in preparation for this years Incubate Festival in the Netherlands alongside their other band DEAD EXISTENCE Jake and Fred will be bringing their awesome yet reflective tunes to a BBQ near you on June 29th!

We have just one last announcement next week before we gear up for what will be a very very busy day indeed, full times to come soon too!

Firstly, I think these boys need to be commended on their amazing choice of record title! I did get very excited about the first offering form these boys a while back and have since been waiting patiently for something more and here we have it, 10 brilliant tracks of monstrous racket.

Now whether these guys like it or not, the album starts off with an amazing almost Nu-Metal vibe with those riffs and vocal melody being reminiscent of some of the finest late 90’s grooves. It a massive leap from what i have heard before and a much welcomed one.
The production is grand and its make all the more for a better listen, its the unrelenting almost danceable groove that make these tracks so damn good and the sense of humour is there too (with track ‘Skippers Pipe’ sampling one of the best youtube videos in the world – see below) i cannot praise this album enough.

If smashing some heads is your thingy and pogoing whilst doing it then you need this in your life!

From the word go this new offering from the DILLINGER boys is an absolute stormer of a record, it may not keep those fans that still ONLY like the ‘Calculating Infinity’ album happy (the ones that think they “sold out” when Greg joined) but I truly believe that this record bridges the gap between their Mathcore roots and the Anthemic stature of the last couple of albums.

Personally, I favor the big sing along choruses and brilliant melody that this band can reach and particularly with the tracks ‘One of us is the Killer’ and ‘Nothings Funny’ this is well and truly achieved but certainly with the latter track the sheer ferocity and madness is maintained.

All of the tracks featured on this could definitely make into their frantically chaotic live set although you know there will no doubt only be a handful that actually do, but whatever happens just make sure you give this a spin, it might not be a game changing record but its Dillinger doing what Dillinger do best and we like it that way!

My recent Obsession with all things H.P Lovecraft have lead me to create this little bad boy…

‘Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, and while it bowed it hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds I think I went mad then!”

Crazed sea monsters shown paying homage to some monolithic shrine, but this one encrusted with the rune of WPC!!

Lets me know your thoughts as they may well soon become the very first WPC piece of Merch..

Thats rights folks, one of the heaviest bands in London are going to wow the eaters of BBQ at this years Summer Sizzler by treating you lot to some of the greatest 80s power ballads with an acoustic twist this June 29th. Not only are DIESEL KING performing in the main room but they are also performing this absolute one off, another exclusive that you just can’t miss out on!

I SHIT YOU NOT THIS IS GOING TO BE KILLER, and we still have a couple of bands to announce on this very special little addition to this years festivities!

BUY TICKETS and look at FACEBOOK for all the details

In a shock addition to an already RAMMED Summer Sizzler I am proud to announce the addition of the ‘Garden Stage’, so whilst you folks are munching on the famed Windmill BBQ you can also check out some intimate sets from a select few acoustic artists over the course of the early evening!

We have a number of acts to announce but first up its COMA WALL! The fantastic alter ego of UNDERSMILE we will be lucky enough to have both bands performing at this years event performing a small selection of songs before their headline slot later on in the evening.

These performances shall be taking place in the changeover intervals between bands throughout the early afternoon, so there will be NO clashes BUT limited room outside…

WE HAVE ANOTHER HANDFUL OF ACTS TO ANNOUNCE BEFORE THE EVENT DO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MORE SOON!

ADVANCE TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE and FACEBOOK EVENT DETAILS HERE

I was gutted to hear this week that the awesome monsters that are ISHMAEL have decided to go on indefinate hiatus due to losing both their Vocalist and Drummer in quick succesion.

2 1/2 years ago i had the very first WPC night at the Windmill Brixton and was lucky enough to have them headline that night back in October 2010, since then the nights have grown and we have this band to thank for being part of the When Planets Collide journey! I wish them all the best of luck and happy to call them friends…

The good news for all the fans is that they are having a 50% off sale in there store with all remaining Merch so get in quick whilst stocks last!

Our friends in SWAMP MACHINE bring you this absolute gem of a day long festival, so if you down that way make sure you don’t miss out as its a bloody brilliant little celebration of all things tripped out and fuzzy, this makes me very jealous indeed!
