Soundbooth
CO Springs hardcore punks Soul Vice are breakin’ down the walls
Synth-Pop, Black Metal, and Electro on repeat in the Soundbooth
Step into the pit | Soul Vice
Soul Vice is here, and they are pissed! Straight outta the mean streets of Colorado Springs, these nasty boys churn out the kind of ferocious 2-step, pickin-up-change pizzamaker hardcore- punk fury that gets the blood up to a boiling point quick. Get 2 Steppin’, recently picked up by Boston’s Wide Eyed Noise tape label, is a 4 song whirlwind of tuneage that should bring on the spin kicks and crowd killers for you and the whole crew.
Synthy Dream-Pop Overload | Tamed Animals
On their newest EP Masked Hunter, Denver’s Tamed Animals must have sold their souls for indie rock glory, with an impeccable new set of songs that waver beautifully between the artsy pose of Sparklehorse and the electro-pop-gone-weird of Tame Impala, with a heavy synthesizer dose of early 80’s synth-goth royalty the Cure and Joy Division planted firmly within its sonic walls. Take these cuts to the next goth nite to dance slowly with all the other black clads, sad boy.
Black Metal goes unplugged | Deafest
Denver doom merchants Deafest usually churn out the kind of thundering and sweeping atmospheric black metal that your local priest warns about at Sunday sermons. They’ve thrown a metaphorical wrench into the equation on their new Ephemeral EP. Which is pretty sweet, actually; A double attack of tremolo-picked acoustic guitars and soft instrumentation showcasing that black metal doesn’t have to be overdriven to be kvlt and that it’s closer to classical music than some would dare ever admit.
90’s Electro-Beats on repeat | Apoxia
Everyone is pulling from the inspiration well that was the 1990’s; haircuts, clothes, and kicks are fresh from the newly classic era. But no one has captured electronic music elements of it the way Apoxia’s Falling Fast seems to have; Pulling you in deep with a unique danceable electronic pulse that doesn’t rely on gimmicky bass drops or harsh and grating synth tones you can hear in pretty much any club, instead opting for a new facelift on an old electro sound, like he’s traveled into the future to save us from Skrillex. — By John Bueno
