“Ultra Violet” by Paul Hayworth was recorded on cheap home 4-track tape machine, left to gather magnetic radiation scars for two decades and then slowly roasted in a walkman, re-mastered on 16 track digital and now turned into an ‘atmospheric supernova’ on Bandcamp. So there you go.
“I intended to record the album completely on my 4-track, but it broke before I could finish the album. So, I finished the album on my computer, which also broke shortly after”. That’s reason enough for us to share this album by Thom Coombes.

There’s very little that’s typical about folk-punk duo, Destroy Nate Allen. It’s not just their blend of folk, punk rock, campfire songs and foot-stomping country jams that set them apart; it’s their live performances—which are unlike any other bands’ out there.
“At this point pretty much every show involves: sing-a-longs, circles, very personal interactions, improv theater moments, marriage counseling, and as much punk rock as we can sweat out,” says guitarist/vocalist Nate Allen, who is accompanied by his wife Tessa on tambourine and vocals.

“A collection of your favorite Christmas songs, merrily reinterpreted with exotic cheer, unexpected instrumentations, and mischievous smirks”. That’s what Tribecastan offer on their Twisted Christmas EP.
In their own words: “On their first single, “God Rest Ye Three Kings,” Tribecastan takes us on a midnight joyride across the desert sands with a figgy pudding of hand drums, sitar, sarod, mandocello, brass and bulbul tarang. This tongue in cheek amalgam of yule tide spirit and holiday chutzpah is a change of pace from the standard seasonal-tunes of old.”
The Twisted Chrismas EP is available on Bandcamp.
