His Electro Blue Voice Announce Debut Album

The Italian deathpunks have officially signed to Sub Pop, and are releasing their debt album, Ruthless Sperm, on August 20th. A reminder of the group's sound and fury is after the jump. More on the announcement can be found at Sub Pop's site.

Dangerous Boys Club - "Tranzilvania"

A sly, sexy descent into the haze. Dangerous Boys Club recently released their debut LP, Pris, on Dais Records.

Sex and Violence

The Taint (2010)

So many people want to say something profound. If there’s one thing that’s true of most artists it’s that they seek to comment on the human condition in a meaningful, poignant way. They will find artful ways to enlighten us, or scold us, or simply entertain. Few ever intentionally try to offend us. But that’s where Drew Bolduc comes in. You see, Drew Bolduc also wants to say something profound, but he isn’t interested in exploring human nature as a way to provide a profound commentary. And he has no time for artful diversions or fanciful language. No, Drew Bolduc wants to rip out humanity’s heart, shit down its throat, and make crude phallic-inspired cave paintings in its blood while it looks on in horror.

Antoni Maiovvi - "Theme from Maiovvowitz"

Antoni Maiovvi returns from the grave with some more dark giallo-disco. "Theme from Maiovvowitz" is part of his next 12" release Mater Proditus, due out June 1 on J.A.M. Traxx.

His Electro Blue Voice - "Kidult" / Sub Pop 1000

Sub Pop 1000

 
It's always satisfying to see a band you support gain more recognition. Previously, Times is Weird had featured His Electro Blue Voice as part of a Halloween mix. Well, the Italian post-punk group has found it's way onto Sub Pop's 25th anniversary compilation, Sub Pop 1000. The group leads the comp off with "Kidult", an explosive burst of aggression that should sound familiar to anyone who has been exposed to the band. To those that haven't, enjoy.

Time Warp Tuesday - Martin Dupont

Martin Dupont - "Take a Look"

Yesterday I mentioned Martin Dupont in reference to the  excellent Electric Voice compilation; his track on that comp is "Bit of Smile". That track is after the jump, but before we get to that here's another excellent cut Dupont released during the '80s: "Take a Look".

Frank (Just Frank) - Traversez Le Pont

French band Frank (Just Frank) has a new track that appears on the Electric Voice II, a compilation that was put out by Electric Voice Records on March 1st. The compilation marries a new crop of dark-leaning synth artists like Tropic of Cancer with predecessors like Martin Dupont.
