Review: Sergeant Sawtooth – Mescaline
SERGEANT SAWTOOTH MESCALINE www.negative3.com Here is a musician who knows how to shake up industrial stereotypes and rearrange familiar electronic sounds into a fresh approach.

Review: Combichrist – Sex, Drogen Und Industrial
COMBICHRIST SEX, DROGEN UND INDUSTRIAL Out of Line Andy Lapuega (Icon of Coil) had to balance out the deliciously happy pop music at some point. With Combichrist, he takes on harsh rhythms like he would take on his worst enemy. The EP starts with “Blut Royal,” a blood bath of pounding beats sans vocals. The

Review: Yourcodenameis:Milo – All Roads To Fault E.P.
YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO ALL ROADS TO FAULT E.P. Beggars Banquet You can now officially add My Bloody Valentine to the list of over-used (and more often than not misused) stack of vernacular that lazy journalists are spewing out these days in an attempt at teasing the world into believing that soon we’ll stop waiting for Kevin Shields

Review: The Local Division – Pure Electric Light E.P.
THE LOCAL DIVISION PURE ELECTRIC LIGHT E.P. Aeronaut Records Singer Ian Christian and guitarist Mati met at a Mark Gardener (Ride) show. The only problem was that Ian lived in the UK and Mati was from Los Angeles. Regardless, they’ve released this rather interesting E.P. The first two tracks lift the early heavy strumming from

Review: Patrick Wolf – Wind In The Wires
PATRICK WOLF WIND IN THE WIRES Tomlab One moment you’re visiting the exotic world of Marc Almond’s cabaret, the next you’re The Divine Comedy channeling Morrissey at a piano bar, then you’re somewhere else and nowhere the same. There are acoustic guitars, strings, electronic grooves, beats and a whole heap of dramatics. Most artists would

Review: Amateur God – Around The Corners Of Our Minds
AMATEUR GOD AROUND THE CORNERS OF OUR MINDS Black Rain Perhaps it isn’t a fair fight, but it’s on anyway. Attrition’s Martin Bowes and whatever cohorts he decides to bring along have been making dark electronic music since long before anyone thought up the phrase “dark wave.” Amateur God? Really, I haven’t a clue. They’re

The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower
We bared our teeth through lipstick smears And clenched our fists like a gang of queers When they arched their backs and threw us hisses We touched ourselves and blew them kisses… [Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, cartoon-style]”I just remember getting to the Lo Fi Café and seeing a lot of tough dudes

All Systems Fail
In a world of people that think a bowl cut and a wardrobe from Hot Topic is what punk is all about, the true essence of what the punk movement originally set out to achieve has been lost. Or has it? Not according to Salt Lake City’s hardcore punkcrust entity All Systems Fail. SLUG talked

Wasted Life – February 2005
I love New York hardcore, but I hate the XXL basketball jerseys, track suits and gold chains. I love thick-neck hardcore with gnarly breakdowns, but I’m so bored of bands where the singer slowly yells “muuuthafuuucka!” in his best hard-ass voice right before the mosh part during songs about the mean streets, the crew and
