Aussie-based, eccentric garage punks Billiam (and the Split Bills) are a ball of high-energy, chaos infused with synths, quirky guitar riffs, and an addictive sense of melody. It’s hyperactive bedroom punk that sings to the ears of every punkster and weirdo whose brains exist in a constant state of glorified frenzy. They have recently released a new album called Animation Cel and this October they will be touring the UK.

It’s a small crowd that have turned up at the Hare and Hounds this evening to be bequeathed by an appearance from Melvins’ rock royalty Buzz Osbourne aka: King Buzzo. On entrance we’re greeted by the morose deep sounds of a cello being sawed to bloody death. It’s nearing spooky season and tonight’s support act is suitably donned in a Jason-style mask combined with a tracksuit; it’s a suitably antisocial look for antisocial music. Ni Maîtres plays an uninterrupted set of this foreboding noise.

NYC-based industrial noise-rock outfit Uniform have just released their latest album, American Standard, via Sacred Bones. It’s a record that sees the band at their most vulnerable, delving into intensely personal themes of self-destruction and vocalist Michael Berdan’s lifelong struggle with bulimia nervosa. ‘American Standard’ showcases Uniform’s knack for pairing crushing sonic landscapes with deeply emotional lyrical content.

When: 4th – 7th July 2024Where: Slunj, CroatiaTaking place in the pit of a canyon in Slunj (pronounced “Sloon”), Croatia, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more idyllic setting for a festival. Anyone who has previously seen the aftermovie from last year will know what I’m talking about: the festival is centred in a canyon surrounded by lush forestry, shimmering blue water and clear sunny skies. It’s here in this location that Bearstone Festival allows stoner-rock to reign supreme.
