Keep it Real |
punkbands reports: Katie Ellsweig of punkbands.com
recently did an interesting interview with Thursday's Tim Payne. In this
except Tim explains the direction the band took with 'A City By The Light
Divided' and how they tried to distance themselves from the copycat bands
that came after them:
Tim: We set out to do something that we
have never done before. If people don’t like it, I think that there’s an
issue with a lot younger people who will say “oh, there’s no screaming.”
At this point, there are so many bands that scream for the sake of screaming
and we’ve never been a band that wanted to do that for the sake of doing
it. There were a lot of decisions we made as far as what kind of album
we wanted to write that weren’t based on what’s happening in music in the
present day; it’s based on the people that we were. That’s really how we
wrote Waiting and Full Collapse: we were just friends making music together.

with some interesting questions.]- Click

Death Recording |
SMN reports: Commenting on recording material
for the follow-up album to last year’s "The Code Is Red… Long Live The
Code", NAPALM DEATH vocalist Barney Greenway said, "After working our arses
off on new stuff for the last couple of months, we kind of slipped into
the studio when noone was looking. This thing is already sounding totally
immense - even better than Code..., from where I'm standing. It's fast
and furious, as you'd expect, but we're also throwing a few curveballs
in, in true NAPALM DEATH tradition. Can't wait for everyone to hear it.[see

Mute reports: ...A cracked smile and a silent
shout…I caught a glimpse, now it haunts me…
Strange, bewitching, subversive and surreal…
this is the world of The Knife. Swedish brother and sister Olof Dreijer

tip. Mute records releases "Silent Shout," their first domestic release
and third album July 25, 2001. The album, which debuted at #1 on the Swedish
charts, features Olof and Karin's lurking, textured vocals tangled in a
web of steely electronic pop. See the video, by acclaimed director Andreas
Nilsson, for the album's first single and title track at the full story

n Women: Maxine Petrucci |
antiMusic reports: A while back antiCat's
kitty litter lining supplier did a sham special touting the women of rock
but put Britney on the cover. That left a lot of people scratching their
heads because there are plenty of real women with real talent that really
rock. We waited in vain for a major publication to correct this error but
none took up that responsibility. That doesn't matter because we are doing
it! For the next month, we will be showcasing rock n women with a brand
new article each weekday by our very own Morley Seaver. Morley understands
that women can rock along with the boys and hold their own. So join us
as we celebrate the real women of rock from superstars to the up-and-coming
artists you should know about. Today we look at Maxine Petrucci. When people
think of shredders they think Van Halen, Vai etc but Maxine can shred with
the best of them as Morley discovered when listening to her latest solo
effort. Here is a bit of what he had to say in the introduction to his
interview and review:
Rock fans were rejoicing the return of
Maxine Petrucci last year with her new solo record Titania. Most will remember
Maxine from her days as leader of Madam X, the band which also featured
her sister Roxy (who later joined Vixen) and a young Sebastian Bach. Titania
is a blistering record full of melodic but crunchy rock fare. Known as
a shredder, Maxine doesn't disappointment, steaming through 10 tracks with
blazing solos, saving the best for last with a ferocious "Max Attacks".
Truly a solo record, she also played bass and does all vocals. Sister Roxy
played drums on all tracks, even co-writing one song with Maxine, who wrote
everything else herself. Titania is a terrific record that should put Maxine
back into the scene in a big way. Look for a follow-up record later on
this year. [now click the full story link to read Morley's interview with
Maxine and his review of the CD]- Click
