Hobo with a Shotgun. Here’s where the film already scores points with me: there’s no need to carry out the tedious, boring task of covering the plot because the title sums it up nicely. It started out as a fake trailer that won Robert Rodriguez’s SXSW trailers contest and went on to become the second […]

Inside Deep Throat
Deep Throat, the notorious and game-changing smut flick starring porn icon Linda Lovelace, hit mainstream theatres all around America in 1972 and propelled the ongoing sexual revolution to dizzying heights. Not only is it by far the highest-grossing pornographic film, it is also the most profitable independent film in motion picture history: its production cost […]
August Burns Red – Rescue & Restore
If there is one sentence that I’ve heard too often from bands it’s: “this new record is the best one so far, etc etc”. More often than not, this promise is not kept. In the case of August Burns Red‘s new release Rescue & Restore however, it is more than just true…it’s an understatement: their […]
Pity Sex – Feast of Love
Fear not, gender fascists! Michigan based band Pity Sex have what it takes to be politically correct. Having both male and female vocals Feast of Love provides variety in songwriting for not drifting into boredom. Pity Sex could be described as a lo-fi college rock sounding band that reminds one of Jimmy Eat World on benzodiazepines, which can be pretty cool, […]
Trash Monday LXXIV
Listen to this great song and watch the most epic metal video ever shot! Suicidal Black Metal takes on a completely new meaning. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIEb3t0jm_U]
The Stuff
Finally I got my hands on this classic satirical horror film from 1985 and I have to tell you that I quite liked it. First because it is entertaining and ambitious and secondly because of its social criticism. A lot of B-Movies are ridiculed by reviewers because the financial restrictions, the bad acting and the […]
I The Mighty – Satori
Post-hardcore fans rejoice: the drought is finally over! June marks the release of I The Mighty‘s debut album Satori which, to me, is the first true release of the genre this year! When the band released their single Speak To Me in April I was severely stoked and was expecting to be completely blown away […]
SADA – All Hail The Beeflords
All Hail The Beeflords is one of those albums that seem to sound exactly like the cover looks like, or the title sounds like. The British quartet provides a dry and riff loving LP with some downs, many ups as well as many ‘Fu Manchesque’ or 90s moments. The short opener already predetermines the direction […]
Trash Monday LXXIII
I remember being invited to Leo’s bungalow, 7 years ago. Friedrich, a German student in European School, got asked what he would think of the accomodation; to which he stoically replied: “Your Haus is too BRRAUUNN!” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_-Qtz70_z4]
Srpski Film (A Serbian Film)
Today I want to write about a movie that came out three years ago and that, due to its extraordinarily shocking and graphic content, quickly achieved cult status and has consequently been discussed to absolute death. Everything I’m about to say, I’m sure someone else has put more eloquently and intelligently before. And still I […]
