If Society has posted a track from the upcoming Black Audio record: m/files/Black%20Audio-Video%20Store.mp3" target=_blank>https://www.ifsociety.com/files/Black%20Audio-Video%20Store.mp3
Reminds me a bit of 22-Pistepirkko.

Also from If Society today is the video for "The false security program" from Frivolvol: m/files/Frivolvol-False_Security_Program.avi" target=_blank>https://www.ifsociety.com/files/Frivolvol-False_Security_Program.avi
The clip was created by Finnish digital artist Heikki Sillanpää.

New track today from Finnish melancholy dancepop act Viola. Unlike a lot of other Finnish acts who dabble in gothitude (HIm, The Rasmus, et al), Viola actually writes good songs and has an edge to their sound. This is most definitely not the typical watered-down bs you might expect from that part of the world. Dark pop hooks and a beat you can dance to. If you've been listening a lot of various New Order/80s nostalgia soundalikes that keep popping up, Viola mines many of the same influences, but updates their sound with their own flair. Very recommended and m/store.php?item=123">available from ye IAT webstore.

If you look to your right, you'll also see we have every more new content today. First up is Katie's review of the m/index.php?article=133">Swedish hip-hop showcase NYC on monday. Sounds like it was a great time! I've been told that pictures are forthcoming, so check back soon. Also posted today is a m/index.php?article=134">top ten from Samira Englund of promising indie/electronic act my Enemy. As I said m/index.php?article=128">in my recent review, I'm still not amazed by any of their releases yet, but I have to admit that there's something very compelling about them that makes me think they are a group to watch.
