bare wire
combines stark female vocals and morose obsessive lyrics, with bass guitar and soft percussion-less backdrops. Vocalist has been compared to the likes of Billie Eilish, Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries, Tori Amos, Jewel, Diamanda Galas, Sarah McLachlan, Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance, and Enya. Affectionately dubbed as "the soundtrack to your next suicide attempt," Bare Wire is a soft yet powerful expression of raw uninhibited sorrow.
wiremnky
dispenses a merciless brand of electronica. While showing a tenderness for melody and psychedelica, Wiremnky's biting percussion and cruel bass lines are complex, groovy and danceable. Described as Orbital meets Meat Beat Manifesto, this intelligent electronic music appeals to listeners of everything from The Orb to Nine Inch Nails to Ultramarine. Fans of Autechre, Depeche Mode, Sneaker Pimps and Madonna's Ray of Light album will also appreciate this release.
urethane
swaggers between songs with only raw acoustic guitar and songs comprised of slow grinding electronic beats and melodies. Urethane's boy-girl songwriting duo defies categorization, their music being compared to Portishead, Mazzy Starr, and even Alanis Morrissette. The single "Deprivation" received notoriety as being reminiscent of the Sinead O'Connor track "Stretched Across Your Grave."
exsanguinate
presents poetry and prose for the literary arts connoisseur with a taste for provocative thought and lingering emotion. Editorials offer politics and philosophy with a decidedly progressive bent. The print magazine ceased publication in 2007; the online edition hosts highlights of back issues.
angry genius boy
delivers a stinging set of blows with his bold and irreverant series, "Why You Are Dumb (and Other Essays You Are Too Stupid to Understand)." Spoken word converted to print, these essays cover the gamut: politics, religion, sociology and sex. No one escapes the crosshairs of his caustic wit. A necessary pit stop for anyone who appreciates Mark Twain, Bill Hicks, or David Cross.
disobedia
cuts to the quick in this ongoing collection of pointed editorials. Meticulous and provocative, the column puts forth viewpoints about timely social, cultural, political and economic issues.
gravitas
more serious poetry and prose highlighting the darkness of the human condition.
