Bobby Conn

"The Bravest Little Man" in Chicago has a lot to say for himself especially on the topics of modern day living and the extreme possibility that he is the Antichrist, sent here to make the world a better place to be through educational alt-rock upbeat pop.»

Adult.

Electro punk death disco duo from detroit, responsible for the classics "hand to phone" "nausea" and founders of ersatz audio records.»

KTL

"It seems we can't escape the influence of a certain Stephen O'Malley (Sunn O))), Khanate) at the moment. Not content with giving the world countless albums of horrifically enjoyable doom drone, he has now decided to team up with one of the world's most influential purveyors of extreme computer music, Editions Mego boss Peter Rehberg aka PITA. KTL is the moniker under which the duo have recorded an eponymous debut (released through Mego on CD and Aurora Borealis on plush LP) - an abbreviation of Kindertotenlieder, a theatrical collaboration between French performance artist Gisele Vienne and American novelist Dennis Cooperset to debut in March. O'Malley and Rehberg were asked to score the piece, whose title - which translates as "Songs on the Death of Children" - has a long artistic history, first emerging as a 425-poem opus written by German poet Freidrich Rückert in 1834 after two of his children died within a few weeks. The result is a marathon of barren ambience, almagating O'Malley's quaking low end and elongated sub-metal riffs with Rehberg's icey digitised soundscapes."»
