Time to come back to an old passion of mine, sleaze rock, with one of the best bands out of the ’00s: Sweden’s Vains of Jenna (which sadly disbanded in 2011). There is nothing revolutionary here, only some very good music inspired by the old sleaze masters (Guns n Roses is the main influence that […]
Following up with one of the top notch British band, the shoegaze champions Jesus and Mary Chain, here charting more familiar wave territories with one of their best songs, Darklands.
Time for some classy brit pop! The Field Mice were one of the best (and most loved) bands to come out from the notorious Sarah Records label, which was one of the prime movers in the British indie scene between the second half of the ’80s and the first half of the ’90s. Their sound […]
Happy 2014! To celebrate, here’s the killer first track off Vince Neil’s first solo album, “Exposed”, an explosion of energy, great musicianship and class. Happy new year!
Merry Christmas (even if late) and happy holidays to all of you! I hope you’re spending these days in peace and happily, I’m doing so and I’m picking up and listening again a lot of bands that were gathering dust on my shelves for a long time. One of these bands is Royal Hunt and […]

Maybe I’ll do a deeper […]

He wrote the music for the Melville’s classic, Le Samourai (starring Alain Delon), and he also wrote music for a good deal of Josè Giovanni’s (a director who portrayed French crime in his movies from the inside: he spent 11 years […]
Time for some good new-wave sleaze from Sweden! Enjoy the single off the band’s 2008 album, swingin’ at the fences.
After a pretty long hiatus, illusioncity’s back! Time for one of the best bands of the so called “new new wave” movement, which started in mid ’00s, the KVB. They are among the most electronic sounding of the bunch, mixed with heavy doses of Joy Division influences and sound. Here is the title track off […]
Time for some obscure Italian existentialist new wave. This song is off the first single of the band (1979) and speaks about existential angst, indifference and confusion. Enjoy!
