KXCI 91.3FM Tucson AZ

Lead single to Godflesh's newest album, officially released tomorrow (6/9)! Been six years since we heard from Godflesh. According to the band, Purge "revisits and updates the concepts explored on Pure" released in 1992.

Opening cut from Swan's 1984 second studio LP. Then based out of NYC, Swans combined elements of industrial, noise, and No Wave to create a pummeling, dark sound on their early recordings. Early Swans was also an influence on Godflesh.

Divisive second studio LP from Black Flag, particularly Side B which found the band diving head-first into sludge and away from the hardcore punk sound fans came to expect. The main riff on this cut dates back to 1982, as the band would play it on-stage between cuts when dealing with equipment. Ginn would revisit the riff and stretch it out to a complete song, heard here as the closing cut to My War.

Only release from this Tucson punk band combining elements of hardcore and noise rock.

Bichkraft hail from Kiev, Ukraine. Likely influenced by Sonic Youth.
