Remember back to the heady days of December 2016 when the phrase “President Trump” still felt like a waking daydream as opposed to a crushing, numbing nightmarish reality? When everyone’s favorite avant-garde whipping girl Amanda Palmer went on record as stating that “the Trump presidency will make punk rock great again”? You do?! Great! So where is all this awesome punk rock music, huh? Contrary to Ms. Palmer’s prediction, the re-flowering of great punk has been pretty thin on the ground so far. In all honesty, it seems like the only contemporary music genre willing to go on the record with outright “Fuck Trump” statements is hip-hop (which IS heartening if not particularly surprising.)...

Acidliner – Rhys from Hey Colossus's acid house project has a new EP released this Thursday on New York Haunted:
Listen to a track here: Acidliner
The blurb says:
Acidliner - Onite3
Its not often that we get to release EP's with so much heavy hitter support even before the damn thing is out! That says something about this EP and its creator, so you lot better listen up. London's Acidliner has been sending over his tracks for a bunch of years now and he is defining his own, authentic sound, which blends synthwave, proto techno and crazy, tweaking acid basslines.
Acidliner has released stuff before as DRMCNT, and his EP 'Gangsigns' under that alias is an absolute must have for any self respecting leftfield techno dj. These 4 new Acidliner cuts are heavy and innovative at the same time, taking detours from your standard house and techno dogma's via dense bass rhythms and weird drum programming. This is the sound of future developments in the field of electronic music, get hip and get dancing to the great sound of West Coast Acid! Already supported by Powell, $hit & $hine and many more people with great taste...

As revealed here, Gnoomes did a remix for Lorelle Meets The Obsolete and the great people at Sonic Cathedral made the right decision to release it on a Ltd 7" that is being sold on the current Lorelle Meets The Obsolete tour.
And if you do get to see them, take note of the bands drummer...it is no other than Andrea from the Rocket bands Lay Llamas and Mamuthones!!!

It was time to get down and abysmally dirty with festival headliner Hey Colossus. As the feedback rose, it felt as if something vital like gravity or oxygen drained from the room and the six-piece began to dismantle the District stage as they tore into their set. Frontman Paul Sykes’ voice is somewhere between a Nick Cave sneer and a King Buzzo bark, but by the end of their psych-noise dispatch, he’s gone full-on Matt Berninger wine-fuelled cyclone, nearly twatting the front row with a flailing mic stand. Three guitars and bass onstage provides volume to burn, but also near-ceaseless melody, even through the vicious riff of a new song from their shortly to be released new album The Guillotine.

It reads:
Gnod capture the mood of the moment with a scathing album that vacillates between numb noise and outbursts of explosive indignation. A year after their last album, which played up their post-punk side, they choose to go for brutality over nuance and it feels good on them, not to mention aids in the cathartic absorption of the psychic shitstorm that’s swirling closer every day. The opener, “Bodies For Money” is a boot to the neck, a wake up call that lets the listener know that Gnod is ready to get into the noise trenches for this one. Though, it should be pretty self-evident that the band is on the rampage from the moment the sixteen-ton title, JUST SAY NO TO THE PSYCHO RIGHT-WING CAPITALIST FASCIST INDUSTRIAL DEATH MACHINE rolls off of the tongue…
