Hotline TNT : Raspberry Moon

1 week ago | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

Hotline TNT was conceived by singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter Will Anderson as a solo project. Their 2021 debut album Nineteen in Love was entirely self-recorded during lockdown, but in the aftermath of its release, Anderson assembled various live-band line-ups to promote the record. Enjoyably garagey and lo-fi in its sound, Nineteen in Love featured an energy and propulsion via a preponderance of fuzz pedals that recalled early Cloud Nothings.

When Cardiff trio Mclusky first resurfaced in 2014 to play a string of benefit gigs to raise money for venues at risk of closure like Le Pub in Newport and the Buffalo Bar in Highbury, fans of noise rock had reason to celebrate.
Tunic : A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung

2 months ago | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

Miscarriage is an incredibly difficult subject to write about. I’m not a parent, but I can’t begin to fathom the feelings of loss, disappointment, and anger that must result from the expectation that one is going to produce and rear another person, only to have that expectation upended by the cruelest twist of medical circumstances.
GNOD & White Hills : Drop Out III

Since 2006, GNOD have developed a reputation as one of the UK’s most innovative and prolific psychedelic noise rock bands, as well as becoming my favorite British live band.
Deafheaven: Lonely People With Power review - peak powers

Mar 26, 2025 | thelineofbestfit.com | Greg Hyde

Although France’s Alcest were the first band to have blended these two genres, Deafheaven have been the most commercially successful at doing so. Whilst debut album Roads to Judah (2011) went largely unremarked upon, second album Sunbather (2013) was hailed as one of that year’s best albums by publications as varied as Time Out and Decibel, leading to the band being invited to appear at multiple decidedly non-metal festivals across Europe and the US.
The Last Showgirl

Jan 11, 2025 | undertheradarmag.com | Greg Hyde

Web Exclusive Gia Coppola comes from a storied acting and directing dynasty. Though her father, Gian-Carlo Coppola, died at the tragically young age of 22 six months before she was born, she has had at least two distinguished directors in her family to look up to: namely, her grandfather, Francis Ford, and her aunt, Sofia.
Thirdface : Ministerial Cafeteria

Nov 19, 2024 | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

In 2021, amid a slew of great hardcore albums that were released during the COVID lockdowns that put the world on pause, Thirdface delivered a particular highlight with the Exploding in Sound-released Do It With a Smile.
Buñuel renders a gritty reality

Oct 20, 2024 | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

Only two years after Italian noise rock group Buñuel made their debut in 2016 with their striking debut album, A Resting Place for Strangers, bassist and founding member Pierpaolo Capovilla left the band. This left the band’s remaining lineup of former Oxbow vocalist Eugene S Robinson, Afterhours guitarist Xabier Iriondo, and Il Teatro Degli Orrori drummer Franz Valente, with the challenging task of enlisting a new fourth member.
Tropical Fuck Storm : Inflatable Graveyard

Oct 10, 2024 | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

Formed in 2017, Australian post-punks Tropical Fuck Storm garnered early acclaim for their first two albums, A Laughing Death in Meatspace and Braindrops, along with a reputation for performing noisy and energetic live shows even more quickly. Their three studio albums have been both commercially and critically successful in their homeland, with the latter two both cracking the top ten there.
The Jesus Lizard : Rack

Sep 16, 2024 | treblezine.com | Greg Hyde

Appropriately enough for Treble’s ’90s month, and coinciding with the Oasis reunion that has generated all kinds of discussion and debate in the UK, September marks the return to recorded music for another band who were as central to ’90s noise rock as Oasis were to Britpop: The Jesus Lizard.
