30.05.2023 :: Darkwave Duo Hallows Drown Their Sorrows in Their Video for "Talk To Me"   | Talk to me
Till nothing is left
Twist this knife
Do anything
Los Angeles-based darkwave duo Hallows return with a compelling video for their latest single, 'Talk To Me,' the debut track off their forthcoming new album A Quieter Life.
"Talk To Me" serves as a heartfelt journey into the precipice of a romantic narrative, teetering on the brink of dissolution. Love, in all its profundity, battles for survival amidst the whirlwind of this tumultuous saga. The track stirs the soul with the rhythmic throbbing of syncopated kick drums layered with the ominous buzz of a deep synth bassline, creating an eerie yet intoxicating mystique.
Echoing through the soundwaves, Vanee Dusoruth's ethereal vocals serve as the listener's guide, leading us through a love-drenched odyssey infused with a hint of melancholy. An intricate weaving of post-punk textures and sentiments, 'Talk To Me' is an exploration of love's complex dance, a testament to Hallows' evocative storytelling prowess.
'Talk To Me' is a harmonious blend of slow, dark melodies with art pop nuances, true to our roots in the underground dark electronic scene," the band reflects. "...It has a special place in our hearts, probably one of our all-time favorites."
Dusoruth's directorial vision teams up with an ensemble cast including Jessi Hildebrandt, Alex Noelke, E. Gorman, Anna Schmidt, Electric Eye, and Jinx in a viscerally mesmerizing music video that subtly translates the track's undertones of deep-seated yearning and emotional turmoil. The chilling aesthetic beauty of the video serves as a raw depiction of the song's themes.
Set in the gritty yet captivating atmosphere of a dive bar, the narrative takes a spiraling turn as we witness the unruly consequences of a drink too many. The protagonist's struggle with profound sorrow manifests in a recklessly defiant persona, painting a picture of intense grief. The narrative is raw, emotional, and unapologetically real.
Watch the video for "Talk to Me" below:
HALLOWS, the musical duo composed of Vanee Dusoruth and Dom Rolando, embarked on their artistic journey in the year 2019, starting from Minneapolis. After a period of creative exploration in Seattle, they eventually found their footing in Los Angeles. Renowned for their unyielding exploration of themes centered around unease, longing, and sadness, HALLOWS skillfully merges the evocative essence of traditional darkwave with a contemporary electronic approach.
"Through this project, our aspiration is to continually evolve and redefine our music," says the band. "We crave uniqueness, yet we cherish the unpredictability in our songs, leaving our listeners in suspense."
'A Quieter Life' serves as an introspective examination of the intricacies inherent within modern relationships. It masterfully delves into the prevailing sense of loneliness that permeates our lives, despite our constant connection with the world. With this endeavor, HALLOWS embarks upon an artistic exploration of the overwhelming challenge of experiencing genuine emotions within a sterile, desolate existence.
Drawing inspiration from a diverse spectrum of musical luminaries, such as Scratch Massive, Lorn, Emika, Filmmaker, Show Me The Body, GGGOLDDD, The Mall, and Holy Fawn, 'A Quieter Life' encapsulates a multifaceted, captivating narrative. HALLOWS' musical oeuvre seeks to captivate the listener's imagination, transporting them to an introspective realm where shadowy nuances intertwine with haunting melodies, leaving an indelible mark on the soul.
'A Quieter Life' is set to release on the 31st of August. Order Here

30.05.2023 :: Rammstein responds to accusations from fan claiming she was drugged at Rammste... | (Photo by Shelby Lynn) The German metal band Rammstein has responded to accusations from a fan who alleges that she was drugged at a party attended by lead singer Till Lindemann (60), prior to the band's recent show in Lithuania.
In a detailed Twitter post, a fan named Shelby Lynn claims that something was slipped into her drink during a 'pre-party' in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on May 22, 2023. After consuming a "vodka-Red Bull, a prosecco, and a tequila shot", she claims to have felt like "a human zombie, singing, dancing, but also stumbling and staggering".
Related newsRammstein's Till Lindemann falls of stage in VilniusLynn alleges that she was left with minor injuries, before being taken to a room during the show. There, she says she refused to have sex with the German singer. She asserts that Lindemann, aged 60, reacted angrily and stormed out of the room.
I'm the girl that was spiked at Rammstein. I am going to make a big post with all the photos/videos I have. Videos of me clearly off my head. Give me an hour or so to get everything together nice and cohesive instead of just a random dump of photos/videos/info. #rammstein
- Shelby Lynn (@Shelbys69666) May 24, 2023 She continues to recount the rest of the evening, stating she experienced memory loss and vomiting. She adds that upon returning to her hotel, she discovered physical bruises, of which she posted photos as evidence. She also claims to have felt the after-effects of the drugs for more than 24 hours, including hallucinations.
Today, she also responded with a post stating that Till did not touch her when she said she did not want to have sex with him.
I'd like to clarify again. Till did NOT touch me. He accepted I did not want to have sex with him. I never claimed he raped me. Please read the entire Twitter thread for full context before making reports. #rammstein
- Shelby Lynn (@Shelbys69666) May 29, 2023 So far, Rammstein has only briefly responded with a statement on social media denying the accusations. The statement reads, "We can exclude that what is being claimed took place in our environment. We are not aware of any official investigations into this matter." Rammstein from their side limited who could reply to their initial tweet.
Lynn does not specify in her post who she accuses of drugging her. At the time of writing, no police reports had been filed yet although the fan claims that she wanted to do so: "I begged them. I BEGGED THEM. And I have witnesses to testify to this, because they begged them also. Nobody cared."

30.05.2023 :: Australian post-industrial act Schkeuditzer Kreuz premiers first song, 'Joy', ... | (Photo by Jeremy Belinfante) Side-Line today premieres the first song taken from the second Schkeuditzer Kreuz LP "No Life Left" to be released on Bad Habit Records in August 2023. The video for the new single was filmed, edited and produced by Jason Fuller of Goatsound in some warehouse in Melbourne, Australia. You can check it out below.
The force behind the band, Kieren Hills, says this about the song: "Joy is the end - unbridled ecstatic destruction - the warming glow of smashing glass, the satisfaction of a hammer through a wall. Break what breaks you - find the structure that's keeeping you under, and tear it apart, raze it to the fucking ground."
Schkeuditzer Kreuz is self-described as "one human and some machines, making noise, in the face of it all." Based in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, expat New Zealand punk veteran Kieren Hills has played in punk, deathrock, hardcore, crust, grind, and d-beat bands and projects from Australia, New Zealand, and Germany since the late 1980s. Following "the wreck of the plague year twenty-twenty", Kieren now creates harsh, dark, confronting and apocalyptic post-industrial music from a cabin that he built in the woods.
About Schkeuditzer Kreuz The name Schkeuditzer Kreuz is taken from a motorway intersection between the A9 and the A14 in Sachsen, Germany; the sign for which was "glimpsed out the back of a moving vehicle while escaping Leipzig, many years ago."
The first Schkeuditzer Kreuz record was a five-song 12" EP called "Give Me Nothing", launched with a 15-date tour through Eastern Australia in March 2021, and which produced the videosingles "Give Me Nothing" and "Amerika". The record sold out on tour, and led to the second record: a 7" released on the Inner City Uprising label, titled "D-Beat Raw Synth Punk". This record is an industrial tribute to the noisier end of punk rock, and has two songs - one original, and a cover of Australian hardcore / d-beat band Pisschrïst.
The third Schkeuditzer Kreuz record was a split EP with Sydney legends Low Life, "State Violence State Control", released by Winter Garden Records to coincide with an art exhibition with the same theme.
The fourth Schkeuditzer Kreuz record was the debut full-length LP "Isolated and Alone". Originally pressed in China and planned for an October 2021 release, local authorities deemed the record "not fit for export" due to its allegedly "subversive content", and all copies were destroyed, along with the stamper plates and artwork. A second pressing of the album was finally released in December 2021 through Bad Habit Records, distributed by Bad Habit and Already Broken Records in Australia, and Pyrrhic Defeat Records in the UK and Europe.
The album included the video singles "Broken", and an updated album version of "State Violence State Control"; the latter video showcasing Schkeuditzer Kreuz live in Melbourne.
Tourdates Schkeuditzer Kreuz will be on tour in Europe in September/October 2023.

30.05.2023 :: Dark electronic artist Slighter presents new single 'Have No Fear' | (Photo by RA Desilets) US dark electronic artist Slighter, who we have reviewed several times on Side-Line, presents an all new single "Have No Fear", which is out now via Confusion Inc.. This is the first taste of his full-length album "This Futile Engine", due out on July 21 via Brutal Resonance Records.
The single comes backed by the B-side 'Dark Rave Mix' of the title track. The accompanying video which you can view below was created by Psyklon Industries.
Related newsAngelspit reveals first single 'Don't know zero' from forthcoming album 'Diesel priest'Colin C., the main force behind this project, explains the track as follows: "'Have No Fear' is a song that took a while to come together, but it was actually one of the first ideas I had for the new Slighter album. Coming off of my last album 'V O I D' (released in 2021), I wanted to break away from that creative vein I was tapping then, but still have some catharsis in the songwriting." And he adds: "The 'Have No Fear' recording sessions were all hardware synth jams, very organic moments that shaped my direction for the whole new record. But it took awhile to find the voice for it, the lyrics are intentionally personal but there's some universality to reminding oneself that fear is a choice to make."
Slighter is the solo moniker of Colin C. (Colin Cameron Allrich) who was previously involved in collaborations for various Metropolis Records releases and Cleopatra Records compilations, in addition to Slighter releases via his own Confusion Inc. imprint.
The full-length album "This Futile Engine" was mixed and mastered at The Cell Studio and features 13 tracks and holds collaborations with Steven Seibold of Hate Dept, Yvette Winkler of Vaselyne, Craig Joseph Huxtable of Landscape Body Machine, Morgue VVitch, Deep Dark Water and more.
"This Futile Engine" will be released, both as a deluxe edition CD and digitally, on July 21.

30.05.2023 :: Watch TFBUNDY's Explosive Mutiny Sessions Video for "Baby Blues" | From the heart of America, the post-industrial city of Wichita, Kansas, has spawned an invigorating post-punk beast known as 'Totally F**ked But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet,' otherwise succinctly dubbed TFBUNDY.
The ensemble, featuring the relentless percussion of Matt Targos, the dense bassline foundation from Jason Holman, the edgy guitar riffs by Jacob Prickett and Brendan Whitney, and the powerful vocal intensity and unexpected saxophone diversions from Tristan Stateler, creates a potent sonic brew. A true post-punk democracy in action, TFBUNDY's sound is a product of diverse influences, each band member bringing a unique ingredient to the table.
"Baby Blues," off the band's self-titled EP, is built on vigorous guitar arrangements, driving rhythmic patterns, and the compelling force of Stateler's voice, bringing to mind Frank Black, The Violent Femmes, and Meat Puppets. We also hear influence from Bambara, Pile, Shame, Stuck, The Fall, and Preoccupations.
The band's explosive energy and disarrayed elegance have drawn terms like "chaotic" and "explosive" as descriptors. Their live performances are a lesson in captivating tumult, featuring crescendoing rhythms and unpredictable twists that embody unpredictability and raw power.
This is demonstrated in the performance video for Baby Blues, directed by Brent Martin and Dalton Green, which showcases the band's potent fury and deft musicianship.
Watch the video below:
Unleashing their debut to the world, TFBUNDY's self-titled EP, broke out on the scene on the 3rd of February, 2023. A true testament to their DIY ethos, the EP was captured on tape with the band members themselves at the helm of recording, then meticulously mastered by Luke Tweedy of Flat Black Studios.
"Recording on tape is like having a sixth member of the band, you never know what's going to happen day to day," reflects Jacob Prickett. "We didn't have to touch a computer until the end of the process, so it just made sense to us to record analogue for the EP and the live session."
Totally Fucked But Unfortunately Not Dead Yet by TFBUNDY
Taking control of the recording process was a deliberate and significant choice for TFBUNDY, playing a crucial role in honing their distinctive sound. Moreover, the hands-on process fostered a stronger bond amongst the band members, shaping and solidifying their collective identity. This collaborative experience, underpinned by shared creativity and dedication, helped them truly evolve into a cohesive band, ready to redefine the contemporary post-punk landscape.
