Spawned in the vibrant East Village of New York in 1983, alongside contemporaries Sonic Youth, Swans, Glenn Branca and The Beastie Boys, Live Skull helped spearhead the exotic noise rock revolution. Live Skull went on to release eight groundbreaking records and toured the US & Europe extensively. In 1989, Simon Reynolds (Melody Maker) reviewed their live show in London: “At their peak they are making the most forbidding rock since the early Banshees or Joy Division."
The reanimated Live Skull announces the release of 'Dangerous Visions' on Bronson Recordings. Hot on the heels of their acclaimed 2019 LP 'Saturday Night Massacre', Live Skull forges ahead with their new lineup and ever-evolving sound, while aiming to make peace with their past, 'Dangerous Visions' not only offers up fierce new studio and live tracks, but also officially releases the 1989 John Peel sessions which never previously saw the light of day.
Thalia Zedek is an artist of immutable stature and unceasing vitality. The legendary songwriter’s fiery voice and frank lyricism give her songs both their emotional potency and their stark beauty. New album 'Perfect Vision' follows Thalia Zedek Band’s 2018 album 'Fighting Season', created in the midst of growing tensions across the U.S. and addressing the insidious forces of the modern world. Zedek brings considerable skills as a musician and as a groundbreaking advocate for both women in music and LGBTQ+ rights to face emotional and political obstacles with unblinking, steadfast determination. The sharp and diverse songs across Perfect Vision stand as profoundly reflective, moving anthems to purging malevolence.
