No Monster Club

September 4th sees the release of No Monster Club's ‘Posthumous Hits’ on Already Dead Tapes and Records.
The creation of young Irish songwriter Bobby Aherne (who tragically passed away earlier this year, aged 24), this cassette comprises of 46 tracks recorded between 2009 and 2012. Unearthed after his death, the album has been lovingly mastered by Mark Chester (Grand Pocket Orchestra/Ginnels) and prepared for release by his bandmates, friends and family.
Having acquired a laptop for his eighteenth birthday, Aherne started to record for fun and went on to release eleven records on his own, before being joined by Mark Chester (bass) and Paddy Hanna (drums). As a trio they toured Europe, released three further records and shared a stage with Ariel Pink, So Cow, Sic Alps, Squarehead, Panda Kid, Jeff The Brotherhood, Wavves, Girls Names, Abe Vigoda and HEALTH.
In the meantime, Aherne continued to produce his own solo material as before; a clattering smorgsabord of bubblegum, baroque and symphonic pop, lo-fi rock, psychedelia and TV theme tunes. This is the music which we have collected here: songs for the park, songs for the beach, songs for your kitchen/living room/bedroom, songs for your school, songs for your holidays, songs for your commute, songs for your wedding reception, songs for your kids' birthday parties, and songs for your funeral.
There is a lifetime contained within these ninety minutes.

Trùc

TRùC (which means "Trick", in friulan minority language) hails from Udine, North-East of Italy. Formed by the rhythm session of a long but unlucky musical adventure (Egnog) with the help of one historical pillar of the Pordenones' Crossover Scene. Existing since less than a year, they put together what is their first effort, a sstrange and singular blend of their own influences, without following this or that genre, trying to "keep it personal".
What you can witness, is the loyalty to rock and roll, in all its propagation. Their songs are in 3 languages (friulan minority language, broken english, and itaglian), and the lyrics are based on lived-life histories. They kick off sometimes instrumentals because there's nothing to say, sometimes.
The records names "Curt", which means "Short", (which was released september 1st) shows the singular artwork of young but promising paintress Elena Chiandussi, which illustrates perfectly the various changes of mood of the friulan outfit.
They like to sweat during live shows.
The CD is a proud d.i.y. product, and is sold at a really low price at their shows, or on request, and it's also distributed by Musiche Furlane Fuarte, the indie label specialized in music sung in friulan minority language and owned by a hystorical radio station broadcasting in friulan, Radio Onde Ofurlane.

This recording documents a period of my life when I was experiencing the grief of losing family and friends - those who had passed away, and also those with whom my personal relationships that had deteriorated beyond repair. My inability to deal with these losses manifested itself in depression, anger, frustration and destructive behavior towards myself and others until there came a time when I realized I could either continue to let it ruin my life or channel it into something constructive by being creative with the only thing that brought me a small semblance of joy at the time (and continues to do so to this day) - making sound - and hopefully through that process be able to exorcise those demons by metaphorically burning the bridges that connected me to that state of mind and to ultimately make it possible to "let go", move on and not look back...

Le Cose Bianche

Le Cose Bianche was born in the first months of 2009 in Arezzo, after some free Live-Electronics sessions. Son and heir of former music experiences in the ambient-industrial sphere, Le Cose Bianche has a one and unique figure as father. His strong passion for sound extremism, for experimentation, for audio manipulation, and especially his bond with the precursors of the genre (from Russolo and Bianchi to nowdays) bring him to the urge of exploring musical paths and corners, wich are free from any rational or stilish chain. His consciousness of his creations, that he consider nothing groundbreaking, saves him from falling into pettiness, banality and pomposity. Le Cose Bianche is The Man, with his languages, his shifts and cracks, his discomfort. With his curved behaviour and the whacked hopes. With his life, too. With his end, above all.

Plant Parenthood

Plant Parenthood began when I fell in love with someone and wrote her long letters that she never responded to and sat in my freezing cold room in KNoxville hoping my house didn't get broken into and doing lots of drugs and writing sad songs on my new electric guitar. Four months later I convinced that girl to learn how to play drums and we played songs that I had written about her. I used the band to be around her and she used me wanting to be around her to be in a band. It was very beautiful. whenever i see her now i usually have to go home and lie down on the floor of my room for a few hours and i sleep terribly.
