When thinking of a song for glamglare’s weekly segment “Life Soundtrack”, I instantly thought of Siouxsie, of Siouxsie And The Banshees, because I’ve been musing a lot about female voices this week and just yesterday compared Emma Ruth Rundle’s voice with Siousxie’s when reviewing the new album by Marriages. And when thinking[…]
When I decided to listen to Salome, Marriages first full length studio album (after the 2012 released EP Kitsune), I just went through the list of titles and picked the one that was at that very moment most appealing to me Love, Texas – just having come back from Austin, TX…[…]
The Wans are a three piece from Nashville, TN and ever since I listened to Never Wins, I was hooked and wanted to hear more! Luckily, there’s plenty of great material, yet listening at home is one thing, and live a whole different story! Browsing (and listening!) to all the bands[…]
I’ve been following Baltimore band Lower Dens since their 2010 debut Twin-Hand Movement, which was quite a dark and obscure affair. Their third record Escape from Evil has evolved from that place into almost pop territory: many tracks, like lead single To Die in L.A add bright synth lines and[…]

TORRES (Mackenzie Scott) was also on our list of “must-see” when in Austin for SXSW 2015, but I didn’t think we’d catch any of her shows, and most certainly not the one at 1:00 AM Saturday night, basically the SXSW “closing” show. And yet, shortly before Midnight, here I was[…]
