After being spammed by Lavondyss' label, Wolf At Your Door Records, and being sick of seeing spam messages by aforementioned label in literally hundreds of artist's shoutboxes, I protested against the shitty and unethical marketing tactics employed by the band's label in Lavondyss' shoutbox.

The guy that uses spams Last.fm as Wolfatyourdoor got all butthurt and demanded that I removed all negative comments about Lavondyss from Last.fm.

I refused, he got more butthurt.

Now I have received this unsolicited correspondence from someone connected to the band (probably their dad). When are Lavondyss and their brand of insipid haircut spamcore…

Awesome footage of French screamo maestros, Daitro, slaying Japan. I hope they play some shows in the UK soon to support the lastest LP.

This video of their best song, Tigersuit, was filmed at a show in Leeds during Raein's 2005 UK tour. Amazing footage, every show should be as visceral and passionate as this, no separation between artist and audience, physical or mental.

If you don't get shivers up your spine whilst watching this, you are a dead and spineless fuck. Or you just don't like Raein.

Always the last to be told anything, I found out this morning that Cutting Pink With Knives are calling it a day and splitting.

I'm a little sad that I won't see anymore of their entertaining and quite frankly offensive live shows, but like the family dog that has canine arthritis and can't manage a trot round the park anymore, CPWK had a good innings so try not to weep too hard as they are put out of their misery by a man in a green smock wielding a massive hypodermic full of lethal muscle relaxant.

In tribute I shall…

Sat 19 Apr – Low, The Helio Sequence

Low were amazing. From the first few bars of opening song, 'Murderer', a lump was in my throat. Alan & Mimi's voices floated through the hushed air of the Union Chapel like drifting snowflakes, the music fragile yet full of concealed savagery and power.

A below par rendition of 'Sunflower', the inclusion of the god awful Beatles & Stones referencing song 'Hatchet' (I hate that song with a passion) and the fact they didn't play anything from my favourite Low record 'Secret Name' were the only blemishes on an otherwise beautiful evening.

This is like an on-teh-internets post-it note to scribble down all the bands I like whilst listening to random Last.fm radio stations. If you have any other recommendations you think I may like, please holler.

Thu 13 Mar – Dananananaykroyd, Agaskodo Teliverek, Maths Class

Fucking amazing show. Maths Class were a bit shit, just some skinny-hipped poseur kids trying to rip off the Blood Brothers (and failing).

Agaskodo Teliverek were joyfully chaotic, like Melt Banana dipped in honey. Possibly the most sexay band on the planet right now, if you cream over disco keytar queens and men in tight gym shorts.

Dananananaykroyd were totally phenomenal, one of the most intense, yet positive bands I've seen in a lononononong time. Like a twelve-armed octopus flailing a dozen switchblades in your face, the hardcore fury thundering from…
