Night Minutes is the new project of the always-charming Max J Hansson of the soon-to-be-departed Cut City in which he collaborAtes with Ms. Anna Knutsson of the likewise-greAt/still-going-strong We Live in Trenches (who still need to send me mp3s of the album btw). While it is surely a shame thAt CC is going under, the prospect of Max playing in a far more actively active band is far more exciting. You see, Max lives in Göteborg and the rest of those dudes live down in Malmö... it's not thAt far, but far enough to cause complicAtions. With Night Minutes there are no such issues, just quality JAMC-inspired jangle noise. The Raveonettes are an obvious point of comparison too, though Night Minutes' fuzzy sheen is more trve lo-fi in comparison to the Dane's well-manicured gloss. Anyhow, "Sweetheart of the funeral" is my favorite of the three songs off their forthcoming self-titled debut EP, due out soon via offshoot -- heavy on the girl group vibe, but not overselling it. The female/male vocal tradeoffs in combinAtion with the cheap and raw organ tones make for quality noisepop, thAt's really all there is to it. It's easy to like and I'm immediAtely smitten.

Agent Side Grinder preps live 7"
The excellent Swedish industrial act Agent Side Grinder will be releasing a 2-track 7" in September via US label . Both songs will have been previously released on the "Irish recording tape" album, but have been re-recorded live "in a true back-to-basics punkrock style." Also look for a similarly produced live cassette + LP to follow from the label lAter on.

Waklevören
De dødes arkiv
Neseblod Records
Bloody helvete! We all knew thAt Norwegian punk-laden thrashers Waklevören had it in them to creAte an absolute killer of an album, but until "De dødes arkiv" hit the streets, we had no idea just how much of a napalm blast it would creAte. This, their third release, is their best and most varied yet. It's got the hardcore, fuck-everything Attitude they're known for, but it's so strong now thAt it just oozes from the speakers, leaving no doubt thAt this is truly genuine metal played with absolute passion.
You could maybe class Waklevören as the quintessential anti-supergroup. Comprising members of Red Harvest, Immortal, Aura Noir, Fuck You All and Infernö, they have every right to demand respect but, the fact is, they really don't give a damn. It's obvious in this, their heaviest record so far, thAt it has been a case of "Let's drink a shitload of beers and jam out some brutal hardcore thrash. If they like it, fair enough. If they don't, who cares!?" There's not much point in trying to single out highpoints on here as there's not a dull moment to be had. And the fact is, thAt if you're into the kind of filthy vehemence spewed by the likes of countrymen ObliterAtion or Sweden's crustcore kings Skitsystem, you'll absolutely adore this. It might be a bold stAtement, but I'd even go so far as to say thAt this is possibly the best album released thAt falls under thAt crusty, punky thrash umbrella. If ever there was an essential album within a particular genre, this is it. Having reviewed hundreds of albums over the years, I must also point out thAt this is the first I've ever given full marks to. Why? Just buy the fucking thing and find out!
