Black Impulse Mix Tape 22: Ivona Behalova

Black Impulse — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:09:07 +0000

The first contributor mix of 2012 comes courtesy of Pettybone guitarist Ivona Behalova. Pettybone have been blowing minds at shows over Europe for the past year and a half. The first time we saw them was when we put them on at one of our Terminal Cheesesteak nights supporting Off! here in London, and they blew us away, bringing a completely fresh approach to DIY punk that we haven’t seen in ages. If you get the chance, see Pettybone as they are currently our favourite band in London hands down. They are touring the UK in February and Europe in April.

Ivona has put together a great mix for us, we hope you enjoy it!

Black Impulse Sonics Reduced 22: Baddest Brains

Black Impulse — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 12:55:24 +0000

I first read about Bad Brains through an unlikely source, Guitar Player magazine. Somewhere between the pages of Steve Vai gurning and music theory tutorials from Buckethead lay a small section of reviews, one of which was for a CD release of the bands classic “Rock For Light” LP. This review was enough to pique my interest and I purchased it the next time I was in Tower Records and my love of the band has not waned since.

So here are my nine personal favourite Bad Brains tracks, enjoy

Track Listing:

1. Bad Brains – Big Takeover
2. Bad Brains – At the Atlantis
3. Bad Brains – Attitude
4. Bad Brains – I and I Survive
5. Bad Brains – Sailin On
6. Bad Brains – Redbone in the City
7. Bad Brains – Pay to Cum
8. Bad Brains – Supertouch/Shitfit
9. Bad Brains – Send Me No Flowers

Black Impulse Mix Tape 21: Jimmy Martin

Black Impulse — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:58:14 +0000

Here’s this Wednesday’s Black Impulse Mix Tape, this time contributed by Jimmy Martin.

Jimmy Martin is the guitarist of the metropolitan psych-rock dreamachine Teeth Of The Sea, who’re currently working on their third album for Rocket Recordings, to be released in 2012. As yet untitled, it looks likely to create dark alchemy by the fusing the mystical forces of Focus, Foetus and Frankie Knuckles.

He’s also written for Terrorizer amongst many others, talked at the ICA, baffled many a DJ audience, won many a pop quiz, attained the dubious honour of being perhaps the only musician to have toured on a bill with both Faster Pussycat and The Dillinger Escape Plan. and wasted hours debating burning issues like which non-Ozzy-or-Dio Sabbath album is the greatest (It’s ‘Born Again’, in case you’re wondering.)

2011 was a monstrous year for Teeth Of The Sea, and they’re rounding it off by headlining the Lexington on December 28th, and also performing REAPER (their soundtrack re-imagining of Neil Marshall’s Doomsday) in the New Year. You can check them out here (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Teeth-Of-The-Sea/115594505139423) and here (http://www.myspace.com/thewrongjaws) (plus here’s some visual aggression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBjs-9u158k and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QZbE8qdE3o&feature=related )

Track Listing:

1. Alan Moore and Tim Perkins-Terrae – A Skeleton Horse
2. Pain Teens – Voluptus
3. Tweet feat. Fabolous & Missy Elliot – Oops (Oh My)
4. Heldon – Perspective III (Baader Meinhof Blues)
5. Linda Perhacs – Parallelograms
6. Delia Derbyshire – Blue Veils and Golden Sands (Inferno)
7. Voivod – Tribal Convictions
8. Zolar X – Message Transmitting
9. Killdozer – The Pig Was Cool
