n000000000: Humour Me For A Moment

There is a thin line between making a racket that goes nowhere and on-the-spot improvisation that manages lift-off. Australian noise duo n000000000 are firmly in the latter category with their loud post-rock meets metal single Humour Me For A Moment. Alex O'Toole (drums) and Simeon Bartholomew (guitar) have been playing together in various Sydney underground bands for years, giving them an instant connection where they want to go with a particular track.

They love a challenge and never play the same thing twiece. Surprising their audience as well as themselves is key. It is a first taste from their n000000000.1 album, which will be released via Bird's Robe Records (vinyl, CD, digital) on October 23rd.

Library Card: Breakfast of Champions

Dutch indie quartet Library Card have inserted a bit of art-rock and jazzz into their new single Breakfast of Champions, a fast-paced song about trying not to care, celebrating small everyday victories, and learning from mistakes while they are it. "It's a great success and nothing less" is a bold thing to sing - albeit tongue firmly in cheek - and they can get away with it just fine. Fans of English Teacher will love it.

The Schisms: All The Good Things

Psych-goth trio The Schisms will be lucky when they don't get a letter from the David Bowie estate for using quite a bit of All The Young Dudes for their All The Good Things single. The Austin-based musicians are painting with broad strokes at first, occasionally turning it down a notch, as they contemplate the highs and lows in life. Only rock 'n' roll has never let them down so far.

M. Woodroe: "Sweetness, Sweetness" video

Watch the M. Woodroe video for Sweetness, Sweetness, a track from their The Treatment of Fractures EP: "Capturing pretty much all of the fears of puberty that keep lingering after reaching adulthood by means of skewed guitars and soft but powerful vocals, proves that politics can be inserted into interesting music, without resorting to tired slogans and simple chord progressions."
