The debut release in a series of creepy concept albums from LA based Foxlore, ‘Antisocial’ explores the minds of the most prolific serial killers of our time. Foxlore dives head first into the mouth of audio alchemy and takes you on an electro pop ride through the lens of the psychologically disturbed, not stopping until you are miles off shore, wrapped in plastic and being thrown overboard. Foxlore members Drew Mottinger and Wesley Richards are veteran musicians on the LA scene and well versed in metal, indie rock, and pop. Both beautifully crafted and yet simplistic in nature, Antisocial’s disposition undergoes several moments of stylistic morphology from track-to-track before finally disposing of the body in a dumpster behind your apartment building. Recurring lyrical themes of sadistic misery and sexual desire pervade the work in this ambitious glimpse into the inner workings of the most nefarious of the cluster B personality disorders. In the words of the late-great Ray Arnold from Jurassic Park, “Hang on to your butts!”
Another rip roaring’ good time from the gents in Two Channels.
Synthetics is a four song EP blending elements of acoustic indie rock, progressive and technical musicianship, complex structures and progressions, and the beautiful and elegant articulations of guest vocalist Molly Swenson.
The second full length from LA’s very own electropunkers Venom Lab.
Venom Lab is a punk band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Crediting a massive list of influences (bands like Strung Out, Good Riddance, Slayer and At the Gates are all listed as influences alongside acts like Laser Dance, Kavinsky and Rodrigo y Gabriela, etc) the band blends elements of punk and metal with electronica and rock. Originally formed by brothers Wesley, Stephen and Dolf Richards in the bowels of Houston, Brothers Richards quickly realized that it was going to be difficult to produce music while serving consecutive life sentences for multiple counts of deicide, so they broke out of Huntsville and brought their sound to the streets of Hollywood. Unfortunately they quickly fell into a rough crowd, and since their knowledge of high school themed musicals was sub par, to say the least, they were quickly cast out of the inner Hollywood circle. Relishing in their new pariah social standing, Venom Lab began lashing out through the use of blistering guitar riffs, shredtastic synth leads, ear-bleedingly powerful bass lines and groin grabbingly vicious double kick driven drums. Leaving a trail of tweener blood in their wake, the punk act began to rise, but unfortunately due to the simultaneous crack and heroine addiction of the third key grip’s second great uncle, the band once again finds themselves fighting their way out of the gutter.
