Interviews

Album Reviews
Wow, this is loud, caustic stuff. The 2nd album from the ever-changing Christchurch 3-piece The Incisions blow the current crop of rock'n'roll revivalists out of the water. Its pure fire in a recording, scratchy, loud, abrasive and rude - more in the style of Japanese noise merchants Guitar Wolf or (particularly) Teengenrate than The Datsuns (who seem positively polished in comparison).
