Sometimes, acts intrigue by way of what they don’t tell you. Creating an air of mystique around themselves, they leave you with just the music and perhaps scant details to work out for yourself what you are hearing, what you are experiencing.
A quick release-roundup before I head to Resistanz Festival next weekend. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music […]
As is traditional, January felt like it took all year, February felt like a couple of days.
Two months in, and there’s already a lot of new music to enjoy and look forward to in 2025. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. […]
As is traditional as I resume a new year on /amodelofcontrol.com, I take a look at the new music likely to be coming our way this year. Some of it is confirmed, some of it is in the works, some of it is kinda expected or hoped for. Needless to say, some of this won’t […]
Another lengthy wrap-up of new music either already here, or coming your way.
After what feels like a surprisingly short break, as is traditional I begin the year with a roundup of new music either confirmed or likely to come your way this year. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this […]
Back from a break (mostly!) over Christmas and New Year, as is traditional I begin the year with a roundup of new music either confirmed or likely to come your way this year. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both […]
With Infest coming this weekend, I dusted down the virtual decks and did an Infest preview set, that stretched out to nearly three-and-a-half hours.
Continuing the amodelofcontrol.com review of 2021, which this week turns attention to the best tracks of the year. Next week will be the wrap of the best albums of 2021.
Stay-In-Fest and the Bank Holiday are already in the rearview mirror, and we’re now inching toward autumn, and the usual packed release schedule as things ramp up again. Today I bring you a fully updated events listing, a host of releases today on Bandcamp Friday, and the first of my interviews from Stay-In-Fest fully transcribed. […]
We’re halfway through the year (already!), and into a new month, thus it is time for another wrap-up of the best new music of the past month on /amodelofcontrol.com.
The weather has improved, Livestreams are back from me, (still) who knows what the future holds – especially as live events have been pushed back that little bit further. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem […]
Following on from last week, there’s been lots of warnings of late. Warnings to social distance, warnings to stay at home, warnings about what to do if you’re infected. We’re also – well, were, before the rain came today – hearing announcements in Finsbury Park telling people not to sunbathe or lounge around in the […]
Somehow, despite the feeling I was just getting started, I’m already home, (mostly) unpacked and finishing this write-up of another great edition of Infest. It has long since become far more than just a music festival that I attend because I want to see a few bands – it’s an extended family.
There are occasions where a long-dormant artist resurfaces that genuinely surprise. Many bands split up, and in these nostalgic times, you can almost set your watch to them reforming at some point – but Numb is different. Despite being such an important project from their releases back in the nineties, Don Gordon clearly appeared to […]
One of the great things about the area of the musical world that I generally write about, is that there has been a surge of really great electronic pop – or synthpop, if you will – in recent times. Many of the protagonists have been new bands, bringing a fresh new feel to a genre […]
There is no doubt that our “scene” in the UK has seen some tough times in recent years. Venues continue to disappear, money continues to be tight for many, and perhaps a combination of the two has put a great many longstanding club nights in peril at one point or another.
I’ve rather got behind on a couple of fronts recently with amodelofcontrol.com, with time being such an issue until recently – particularly through most of 2018 – which meant that I’ve not been able to write as much as I’d like.
It’s Friday, therefore time for the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects artists and music that I cover here.
