Enter Shikari - “We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don’t Want Us To Escape” [SINGLE]
Metal / Hardcore / Trance Electronica
Fun one-off single from British “Nintendocore” rockers Enter Shikari is pure, off-your-ADHD-medication energetic fun, with lyrics scraping at the place of humanity in the cosmos. End result: you, dancing in your chair like Gary Brolsma.

Technical Metal / Prog
Not for the faint of heart, the music of The Arusha Accord is heavy like a calculus exam, and does justice to all those folks who like to compare heavy metal to classical music.

Jaguar Love - Jaguar Love (2008)
Punk / Indie / Noise
With his flair for surrealist lyricism and “Cedric Bixler getting a root canal sans novocaine” shrieks fully intact, whatever’s hurtling out of former Blood Brother Johnny Whitney’s mouth at any given moment becomes Jaguar Love’s main attraction.
