Backstruck

Punk & hardcore never went away, you just have to know where to look. I remember living in Pennsylvania - traveling all over the state to catch Submachine shows, and (a few years later) going up the East Coast to watch Pig Destroyer, and hanging out after A.C. shows with Seth Putnam (and his mom). Moving to Austin didn't really leave me with much access to live punk bands (that, and the music scene had shifted to more 3-chord power pop bands in that city), so I've been searching online for something to take me back to those small, cramped venues that were packed with people, and the energy could power a small country.

Enter Backstruck.

Backstruck is the brainchild of Ryan Mincey, and is hardcore punk in the vein of '68 and The Ghost Inside. That is to say, Backstruck has the sound that the music scene needs and has needed for years.

Check out the track Broken Shell.

That - like Backstruck's other songs - are exposed raw nerves - an agitation that cannot be kept inside any longer, an outpouring of what makes us human, that very few acknowledge.

If you want to keep up with Backstruck to get the latest released tracks and any upcoming gigs, check out their Facebook page. I look forward to hearing more from Backstruck, and if they start going shows, it will be a great excuse to drive back to my old stomping grounds to see them.

ALBIORIX

There are few synthwave artists out there who create original tracks that are able to transport me. Saturn just launched a debut EP - ALBIORIX - and it brings me back to the late-70s and early-80s by fusing analog sounds with modern electro and synthwave influences.


What I really enjoy about this EP is the judicious use of the noise envelope and that "space" around notes. Saturn's ALBIORIX really takes me back and makes me want to dig out some of Wendy Carlos' more experimental works - or maybe just remember the dark arcades of my youth and lining up quarters on the machine for my shot at playing Tempest or Phoenix.

 



Chilla Kiana

Born in Surabaya, Indonesia, 19 years ago, Chilla first took on piano music was when she was seven, and won many piano competitions awards.

Chilla complemented her musical repertoire by taking singing classes and at only 11 — when most girls are busy playing with their dolls — she had fun composing songs, writing lyrics and arranging notes by her self.

  In Chilla’s early song-writing career (11), she wrote and composed is a religious Christian songs, called “I Belong to Jesus”.

When she was 13, she wrote and composes a Patriotic Song, named “My Indonesia” dedicated to her country.

“A while after, I got the chance to sing and release two English-language songs — ‘Loneliest Hour’ and ‘Jealous’. And on 2nd Top Position on Vevo after Carly Ray Jepson and Justin Bieber was on 3rd position at that time.

The Universal Music Group Indonesia then put me on contract, and finally, on October 2014, I got contract with The Walt Disney Company for the song of Disney Princesses “The Glow” in Indonesia Version.”
