Dusted reviews Finnish solo act Keuhkot: https://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/2414
"Imagine the Residents as an out-of-tune Moroccan wedding group with a knack for surreal wordplay and you'll have a rather loose reference point for Keuhkot's lunacy."

Preorder the US version of the new Logh album and get a sweet deal on a t-shirt or an iPod slipcase: https://secure.bluecollardistro.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=HHI&Category_Code=CURRENT
Still no official word on a tour yet, but hopefully something will come together soon. As said before, Logh is one my favorite bands, so of course the new album is highly recommended.

Today's Friday oldie comes from Abhinanda off their final album "The rumble", originally released back in 1998 on Desperate Fight Records (No, I'm not writing in the straight-edge Xs). The band started off as kind of a generic moshcore band (as was the fashion in the mid-90s) before finally figuring out what they needed to do to be awesome, releasing one last record and then breaking up. Gee, haven't heard that story before, right? I actually don't really know that much about these dudes otherwise, but they were definitely a fixture of Umeå's legendary hardcore scene of the time. Not many bands of the era aged well, but Abhinanda's rocked-out sound holds up just fine. Tons of gang-vocal shouts, a fierce stop-and-go rhythm section and just enough melody and dissonance to keep things interesting. Best of all, it's fun. Now why aren't there more bands like this today?
