Let’s face it: the heavy music scene is a massive sausagefest. I do have to acknowledge that the crowds have diversified quite a bit over these past twenty years that I’ve been going to shows, but the people on stage are still for the most part men, which tends to be more and more true […]

Idle Class – Of Glass And Paper
It’s been a little over a year since I first discovered today’s band at all-day punk show here in Luxembourg, and after reviewing a split EP they were on in October, I’m excited to say that Idle Class are back with a full-length entitled Of Glass And Paper, that is going to be released on […]
Fights And Fires/Idle Class – Split 7inch
A couple of weeks ago I went to an all-day skate punk show here in Luxembourg and out of the many bands playing, there was one act that stood out to me: the German formation Idle Class. Me being me I couldn’t help but chat them up and ask if they had anything coming up […]
Nerveguns – Nerveguns
To clear one thing up right away: punk is not dead! Not in the music scene, nor here on El Gore, because today I’m going to whet your appetite for Nerveguns‘ self-titled debut album. The punk rock quartet hailing from Heinsberg, in Germany, is one of the many bands that do everything to keep the […]
The Intersphere – Relations In The Unseen
Barely two years after their last album, The Intersphere is releasing a new one: Relations In The Unseen. One might think that such a short period of time might not be enough to evolve musically, but one couldn’t be more wrong! But let me elaborate that in the next few paragraphs. While the German quartet […]
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]
The Convois – Ocean’s Tale
Have you ever gone to a small gig to maybe watch some of your friends play, but aside from them you didn’t know any other band that was set to appear that night? Well, exactly that happened to me last Saturday when I went to Soul Kitchen in Luxembourg for the Locals Fest 3. As […]
Trash Monday LV
Well, normally I always try to be ethically correct and to accept every single creature on planet Earth, but Fritz must be from another planet as he definitely took the bun (*hint Auto-tune at 2:03)! Oh, and by the way, happy carnival to all of you sickos! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJe3cdM7f1c]
The Intersphere – Hold On, Liberty!
When I discovered The Intersphere for the first time at this year’s Food For Your Senses Festival, I described their sound as a mixture between softer and harder post-core elements with Muse-ish riffs and clean Fall-Out-Boy-ish vocals. An impression that is confirmed throughout their 2012 release Hold on, Liberty!, combined with a solid touch of […]
Nargaroth – Jahreszeiten
You don’t have to be my number one stalker (you know who you are) to know that, at least nowadays, I mainly listen to metalcore and things that go into that general direction. However, I pride myself in the fact that I listen to a lot of different genres and that I can usually at […]
