Attention all my pals in Band Land!

Weve been working with Robert Rumney for the past two years, helping him bring some extra audio zap to his already incredible game - Poached: Hunt the Hunter.

Think GTA, meets Far Cry, meets Skyrim, set in the wilds of South Africa as you set up to blast skelms to Pofadder and back, while crafting potjikos, dop mampoer and protect endangered animals from being turned into herbal aphrodisiacs.

NOW - we are adding extra vehicle missions to accomodate for a series of in-game radio stations and WE WANT YOUR BAND!

If you’d like to be featured - email me your proposed track to [email protected]

Bands that we have so far are Misled, Worsie van Wyk, Crash and the Void, FUZIGISH, ATFN, Werner Olckers and more….

9.5 on Steam with rave reviews galore. GET IN!

It’s no secret that we are MASSIVE fans here at Asylum. So when we heard that ’ new book was available, we had to pounce.

Here’s our in literal tears after receiving a copy for his birthday from ✨

No doubt one of the most prolific bass players of all time - Geddy takes you on an honest and hilarious journey through the history of one of the most beloved but oft overlooked bands.

The world is a mad place, but we feel like if more people really listened to Rush with all their heart - the world would be a better place.

‘Philosophers and ploughmen,
Each must play their part
To mould a new reality,
Closer to the heart’

Before you roll your eyes - we’re not vegans here at Asylum BUT we do love Punk Rock and the various influences it has had on society over the years.

It’s incredible to see how veganism became a point of protest for those who felt dispossessed and forgotten within the economy of the 1980’s and beyond.

An incredibly interesting and moving watch ✨

We feel that thoughtful lyrics are essential to transforming a good song into a brilliant song.

Sure - you’re allowed to wrote whatever you want. Thats part of the artistic release. But those that really the take time to craft beautiful stanzas with compelling words, have an extra edge.

In this installment, we celebrate the genius juxtaposition of musical intensity and the thoughtful, lyrical simplicity of Canadian treasure 🤍✨

What are some of your favourite lyrics? Let us know below ⚡️

For the past few years, we have had the privilege of working closely with one of SA’s most important artists - Siyabonga Myhembu ( ) ✨

Siya is many things. He is singer, he is writer, he is activist, he is conceptual artist, he is coordinator, he is director, he is husband, he is brother, he is friend.

He also is one of the few artists who can say that their band has won over the alternative and progressive rock audiences as well as the jazz and afro/soul purists in the same swoop.

However, problem with South Africa is that people forget. And while one of the biggest exports this country has ever seen, is doing hundreds of overseas shows - kids a generation after have no clue who they are. This is such a unique phenomenon to South Africa and it needs to change.

Siya will make it change. One show at a time.

Brother! We salute you 🫡

We live in a time where we lack a plethora of good local musical journalistic resources…

Happy Valentine’s day to all you luvvahs out there.

In honor of the sacred union between love and music, we thought we’d highlight one of the greatest love stories in all of music history.

June and Johnny were married for 35 years, until June’s death in 2003 — one of her final public appearances was in her husband’s music video for the song “Hurt.”

Who else is a worthy mention? Let us know in the comments ✨

Keep the love burning and remember - if you cant be with the one you love, love the one you’re with 🤍
