LOCAL: Balaclavas plan October release of second album
This Houston band is one of the darkest acts I've ever listened to or seen live. Using feedback, doomy synths, and tribal drum beats Balaclavas create a sound with no peers. It's like noisy psychedelia for people who appreciate goth.
Balaclavas plan to release their second LP, "Snake People", on October 18 and there are only 500 copies available. Each pre-ordered disc also comes with a poster. Go here if you're interested. I've already placed my order.
Here's a medley of their SXSW performance for anyone not familiar with the band.
In addition to this blog, I also write for Free Press Houston. Some of you have been contacting via my personal email and, in the end, that's going to confuse me really badly and I will probably forget about your request. When contacting me on blog-related matters, only use the email address, below: postpunkdblog@gmail.com
While I sometimes receive free copies of albums I review, especially pre-release reviews, I never accept monetary compensation, in exchange for favorable coverage.
(With the exception of the occasional comped ticket) At this time, I do not profit monetarily in any way from this blog and it is entirely a labor of love.
I can only review what I am able to get my hands on. If you want me to consider reviewing you or your client's album, you can send me information at the email address provided in the contact section.
