Dan discusses the band Hail Darkness who have caused a little controversy within the doom / stoner / psych / occult rock scene recently.

Dan takes a deep dive in to the band Hail Darkness and discovers something rather alarming.

Very happy to say that our pre order launch for the new Sergeant Thunderhoof album yesterday was a huge success with 50% of all the vinyl already gone.

Thank you as always to all of our fantastic customers, friends and supporters around the world.

We hope you'll love this new record when it comes out just as much as we do.

We've done a bunch of videos on our Youtube channel recently where we have criticised bands and artists for miming/faking their vocals in a live environment. What takes things to another level of sh*te is when a celebrity 'vocal coach' does it.

It appears to me that this guy is miming almost 90% of the vocals on this video. Was this overdubbed after the fact? Or was he actually miming live? Most of the vocals are clearly studio quality.

This feels dishonest to me, especially as this guy markets himself as a vocal coach. He's clearly a great singer too, which is what makes it all the more disappointing.

One of the things i'm passionate about is encouraging youngsters to get involved in music. But just as we rightly don't want our children to aspire to unreasonable beauty and image standards, we should also be wary that we're not giving them impossible performance standards.

I see music in a similar way to how i see food. We've all heard that music is food for the soul. What do you think this over reliance on technology and fakery does to you when you hear it? We're constantly told that feeding a child ultra high processed foods is dangerous for them. I would argue that feeding them ultra high processed music and entertainment is the same. Everything is auto-tuned to within an inch of its life these days.

What else is fake in this video? The backing vocals sure don't sound real to me. Are all the guitar solos fake too?

I find it utterly depressing!

Anyway, that's my take.

In response to a recent discussion we had on the page regarding how some people can no longer listen to certain artists due to their opinions, actions or crimes. This was a tricky discussion for sure.

Disgraced popstars / artists / bands. Is it ever ok to listen to music by these people again? Do you have any artists you still love to listen to even though you detest them as people? Or are some things just beyond the pale now?

Interested to hear your thoughts (and all opinions are welcome, we won't tolerate personal attacks on anyone)

Tim and Dan recently had a chat about the recent Apple Music greatest albums list. Needless to say, Dan was massively triggered by most of it because he's a sad, cynical and bitter old man.

What do you think of the list?

Sergeant Thunderhoof were in the studio recording recently so we thought we'd use the opportunity to do a shoot out with a bunch of Darren Ashman's snare drums. Do you have a favourite?

Attention all psych / desert / stoner / weird bands. We're finalising the lineup for our upcoming tribute to Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' record. If this is something you'd like the chance to be involved in, please email [email protected] with some links to your music and whatever else you'd like to tell us.

With the album being only 5 tracks long, we'll also be looking for artists to contribute bonus tracks. We already have some pretty rad names associated to the project, but we will consider and listen to everything.

Kind Regards
Dan
