Elitism in the 90s Goth scene.

“We'd show up at a club and the local [Goth] scene kids would be there. They'd get in early because they knew the people putting on the event or whatever. It would be like this taking over. We were on tour going from show to show and these scene kids would take over the backstage and we would be pushed off to the side in the corner. It was this weird thing where we're there to play a show and they didn't want us there. During the Stark Corner tour, back in that day everything was 'snail mail'. He [Mike Vanportfleet] used to get handwritten letters from people. He answered every single letter that he ever got (sometimes he'd send out cassettes). There was a girl that he was writing to a lot and she's like, "I'm going to be at your in-store". So he's at the In-Store, and there's this other guy hanging out with him that's mega Goth. And here's Mike sitting there with his plain white t-shirt and jeans and they're sitting at this table. So, the girl comes up and starts talking to the other guy saying, "Oh my god, I can't believe we're finally meeting. I bought you these vintage postcards" and gushing about this and that. And the guy is like, "I'm sorry but this is Mike". She literally dropped the cards, turned away, and never spoke to him [Mike] again. These are the kinds of things we'd experience. I can remember so many times playing in these uber cool Goth clubs. We would start our music before we went on stage because we had a long intro. We would just stand out in the crowd. I remember in Columbus [Ohio], we were standing in the crowd and people were looking at us like, "who the hell are you? You don't fit here". Then we walked on stage and you physically could see their faces go "Oops!".” — Tara Vanflower of the band Lycia

PoeTrex Reviews / writing night book

Goodreads Review:  A mixed bag by many authors, Reed nonetheless manages to weld wildly differing styles into a cohesive whole by some mad alchemy. Poems stand at right angles to this collection—lifting and lowering divine and profane, like the recorded dreams of prose protagonists, into a moving narrative. The result is fanciful and horrifying, isolating and communal, fusing natural and mechanical imagery into Frankensteinian chimera, granted wings only to be plucked apart feather by feather. An excellent effort all around, and well worth reading. EDIT: I forgot to tag @cruxymox. Some of the other authors in this collection are also on Tumblr, but I can’t be arsed right now to find them and tag them =p

CROWHURST Announces Noise Rock/Post-Punk EP “The Fake Grape Sessions”

Philadelphia blackened noise enigma CROWHURST is proud to announce the independent release of The Fake Grape Sessions, the second release in a series of official bootlegs. Recorded in London by Sam Thredder (Slapdragger) a few days after the band's appearance at the 2019 Roadburn Festival, this completely improvised six-track EP fuses noise rock, d-beat, doom, and post-punk into a weirdo hybrid. "The Fake Grape Sessions were written and recorded live, on the fly," says frontman Jay Gambit, known for his collaborations with extreme metal acts Dragged into Sunlight, Culted, and Bandit. "No refunds." Tortured and broken, CROWHURST is a shapeshifter in extreme music; from noise to drone, sludge to black metal. Each piece of music is its own distinct page in Gambit's story, working as an exploration and expression of pain. With contributing pieces from scores of renowned artists, CROWHURST stands as a testament to his ability to weave ethereal, engaging soundscapes without falling into the trap which befalls many prolific artists – predictability. Over 75 releases, many of which are singles and splits with other established artists, yet each body of work remains a dynamic, disorienting exploration unlike the last. Gambit's music takes influence from varying genres across decades while being shaped by his love affair with cinema and documentaries. Each release tells its own story, with each song standing as its own character unfolding. Beginning as a strictly-experimental project, CROWHURST grew to encompass various collaborations with artists and producers, such as Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker), who engineered and produced 2015's I album. The follow-up, 2016's II, was recorded in Manchester, England, and produced at Machines With Magnets (The Body, Daughters). CROWHURST finalized their trilogy with III, co-written and performed by Andy Curtis-Brignell (Caïna), recorded with the legendary producer/engineer Kurt Ballou (Converge, Full of Hell) at God City Studios, and released via Prophecy Productions in 2019. The effort features guest appearances from Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus, Crisis), Ethan Lee McCarthy (Primitive Man), and Tara Vanflower (Lycia, Type O Negative) amongst a handful of other notable musicians. FFO: Total Control, Impalers, Wipers, Meat Puppets, etc.

Strange Familiars - Ep 1: Toad Road and the Seven Gates, Part 1

Published on 11 Feb 2017

Strange Familiars explores a variety of subjects in a combination of storytelling, reporting, interviews, and discussion. Cryptids, ghosts, folklore, mythology, and paranormal topics. Our first cycle of episodes will explore some local legends from York County, Pennsylvania beginning with Toad Road and the Seven Gates of Hell. In the first episode we talk a little about Toad Road and the Seven Gates, where they are, what they might be, and what they are not. We disprove some urban legends and head to Hex Hollow for discussions about powwow, witchcraft, ghosts, will-o-the-wisps, cryptid creatures, and the famous "hex murder". If you would like to help us continue to make Strange Familiars, get bonus content, t-shirts, stickers, and more rewards, you can become a patron: http://www.patreon.com/StrangeFamiliars Episode 1 notes and links: Much of the research for this episode was done for our first book, Beyond the Seventh Gate ( http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Seventh-... ) The Phillip Smith interview was done by Catherine Diehl.

CROWHURST Announces Collaborative EP With BANDIT

Philadelphia blackened noise enigma CROWHURST is proud to announce the long-awaited release of his collaborative effort with Delaware grinders BANDIT, out now via self-release. Titled Bulldozer, the 10-minute EP marks the first of four in an official bootleg series and features eight BANDIT tracks remixed by CROWHURST into a harsh cacophony of brutality. “Someone on YouTube says this sounds like Merzbow and Gore Beyond Necropsy's Rectal Anarchy album," says CROWHURST conspirator Jay Gambit—known for his prolific work with Dragged into Sunlight, Culted, etc. "For me, it's a spiritual sequel to the remix things we did with Water Torture and Sordo," he continues. "It's a free download, so give whatever money you would give to us to your local Planned Parenthood or animal rights charity." Tortured and broken, CROWHURST is a shapeshifter in extreme music; from noise to drone, sludge to black metal. Each piece of music is its own distinct page in Gambit's story, working as an exploration and expression of pain. With contributing pieces from scores of renowned artists, CROWHURST stands as a testament to his ability to weave ethereal, engaging soundscapes without falling into the trap which befalls many prolific artists – predictability. Over 75 releases, many of which are singles and splits with other established artists, yet each body of work remains a dynamic, disorienting exploration unlike the last.
