Wanna trip? Then press play. The debut S/T album from the faceless London based electronic artist SBTRKT is full of beats ranging from dubstep to Chicago house, and plenty of awesome collaborators, such as Little Dragon in this track for "Wildfire." Why the name and anonymity? He's said he'd, "rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself. The name SBTRKT is me taking myself away from that whole process." And his tour is going global right now. Check here for dates! Directed by Sam Pilling (http://www.sampilling.com/) Add Comment Berlin's Atari Teenage Riot released Is This Hyperreal? back in June 2011 and are about to hit the US road this September. Thought it was fitting that these pioneers of digital hardcore got Video of the Week. Especially with the brutally honest message that Nic Endo unleashes in this intense clip for "Blood In My Eyes." Known for their radical views and abrassively awesome pounding beats in their original run from 1992-2000, they are back with the classic noise and a whole new set of alarming topics that other artists are too afraid to cover. That's what's up!

Even though they're from Madrid, Spain, their lyrics are in English. Not that you can understand most of it but then, the blood splatter imagery translates to any language. They released an album, Hospital Carnage, in May of this year and this video for the song "Traumageddon" is the second, and best, video off of it. Click play above and be ready for Haemorrhage to melt your face off. Just be sure that you do not go to the ER afterwards! (by Dawn Reed) Ciao escursionisti scena! This past week saw the return of the US TV phenom that is the Jersey Shore, from their new culla off a beaten path of Florence Italy. So get ready for a slew of new italia acronyms...TSQ? Taxi sono qui! But will any Italian bands be repped on the soundtrack of the invasion? So far, no, but there's still an epic season ahead, and here are a couple bands from 'the boot' that are semplicemente meraviglioso! ![]() The Cut, all out on UK tour! From Bologna, Cut is one of the bands that should easily be dominating the indie scene. Just check out this rad video "Awesome" from their last album, Annihilation Road, that proves their ability to reign in the high ranks of rock. Ferruccio Quercetti (guitar/vocals), Carlo Masu (guitar/vocals), and Francesco Bolognini (drums) have been together since 1996, and have recorded 5 albums and an EP, and have a UK tour coming up in October. In a 2008 interview with UK's The Times, Quercetti said this about the Italian rock industry, "It’s so close to itself. The problem is that it’s been hard to get Italian bands to an international audience, because there’s no structure. There are lots of good bands that lived and died in Italy without anybody noticing outside." CUT "AWESOME" from CUTtheband on Vimeo. ![]() LetHerDive And keeping indie Trip-Hop alive in Bologna is the duo LetHerDive, consisting of Francesca Bono (vocals) and Matteo Trifirò aka Trif_o (beats). Filling out the live sounds, Gianluca Modica brings the bass and also contributed to some tracks on their 2010 release The Closet. A remix album of the Closet is scheduled to be out soon including remixes from PRX, Lorenzo Montana, Pois and more. Check out this live version of "The Bravest" and pop open a bottle of lemoncello because you are about to get chilled the eff out. So I was watching Robot Chicken on Adult Swim last night, when all of a sudden-boom- I was transported to my youth when a video ("Don't Tell Me What To Do") from Brooklyn's Cerebral Ballzy came thrashing through the commercial break, 80's hardcore punk to the max, making me want to skateboard down the block with pizza and beer in hand. Ah! Fucking awesome. Check out this video for "Junky For Her" off their S/T LP released last week by Williams Street Records (Adult Swim hollerrr.) And here's some awesome news: They are set to play at Summer Sonic Fest in Japan and both the Reading and Leeds Fests in the UK this month! DIRECTED BY: VICE COOLER DP: WHO ATE MY TEETH?
