Noisy sessions
The latest album from Killerkume is very nice. It perfectly gathers the raw sound they make when they touch in public, their personality. Recorded live and great in the White Noise studies in Winterswijk (Netherlands) in 2016, under the direction of the technician Marlon Wolterink and mastered by the drums and percussionists of the group Killerkume Joxean Rivas, among others.
Along with Joxean Rivas, Mikel Sowsyah (guitar and effects) collaborates in the Killerkume group. They are only two components of the group, but among them there is a great sound noise. They touch long pieces, vitally, experiment and improvise, and the result of their work is noise-rock and hardcore environments. Crazy drumbeats, very fast rhythm, violent guitar riffs and touches and brushes of different colors... They're abstract, frantic melodies. After all, each piece is a noisy session.
The Killerkume group is from Bilbao and was born in 2012. Ahead of Joxean and Mikel played in the Loan, Ximel, Mirage and Hautsa groups. During these years, with the Killerkume group, they have worked here and there, in Euskal Herria and out: Galicia, Catalan countries, Spanish state, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France and Portugal.
In 2015, they published Trautzer Blaster, a 12-inch vinyl album, and in 2016 they published another 12-inch vinyl album, Industrial Sunbath. White Noise Session, released this year, may be the live version of Industrial Sunbath, as of the five pieces that make up this album you can hear four in the new album (Operating Theatre, Bilbullshit, Harrapakina and Never-ending spring), and a passage as an introduction. In CD format only 100 copies have been published, but the entire album can be heard on the Bandcamp Internet platform (killerkume.bandcamp.com).
Joxean and Mikel love to improvise and experiment, as in addition to playing in the Killerkume group, they also play in the Orbain Unit group, along with Akauzazte, Los Plomos and Primate Time.
Punk. Punk is back, or, rather, has never gone. Those from Zikine come from Lekitxo (and not from Lekeitio), with the elegant Bala Galdua Zure Buru Galduan who have recently published with Pentecost.

How many things go unnoticed. Even if they move in niches, is each niche no longer too big? This EP by artist Alai comes from Tolosa with a perfectionist electronics like breakbeat, jungle, UK garage and aromatized house with an Afro-Caribbean flavor.

Even though I felt like Escorbutin in my youth, Antton Carretero, born in Aramaio, has always had

In the past, we already knew by heart all Joker’s phrases from The Dark Knight, as “chaos agent.” I had him, for example, to explain his behavior: "Do I think of a guy with a plan? Do you know what I am? A dog running behind cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I hit him. I'm... [+]
