    Active Child- "Hanging On" (GRVRBBRS Remix)

    The Needle Drop

    GRVRBBRS remixes one of my favorite tracks from Active Child’s last album, You Are All I See. With a punchy beat, the song is catchier than ever. Active Child’s passionate falsetto vocals still come through with a lot of strength, too. Love it! This remix comes with the

    Nihiti- "My Fantasy Has Gone Too Far"

    The Needle Drop

    Some dark and noisy sounds coming off this newly released Nihiti track, “My Fantasy Has Gone Too Far.” I’m not sure what the specifics of this fantasy are, but it sounds pretty twisted from the industrial combination of bang-clang percussion unsettling synth drones. Check out the previous track to

    El-P- "Tougher Colder Killer" ft. Despot and Killer Mike

    The Needle Drop

    El-P drops a new track from his forthcoming album Cancer For Cure, featuring verses from Killer Mike and Despot. I love the song concept, too. To me, it seems to poke fun at the ongoing race in hip hop to come off tougher than the next guy. C’mon, guys.

    Kreator- "Phantom Antichrist"

    The Needle Drop

    Thrash metal has a surprisingly large amount of its older acts still alive and kicking. Overkill just released a new album, and it wasn’t too long ago that Megadeth has a new release, too. Plus, there’s always the rest of the “Big Four” to take account of. Between

    Trioscapes- "Wazzlejazzlebof"

    The Needle Drop

    Trioscapes is a heavy, new jazz fusion projected featuring Between the Buried and Me bassist Dan Briggs. It’s a surprising release for Metal Blade Recs, and I question whether or not it would have been released if it weren’t for the BTBAM connection. However, that’s not to

    Mount Eerie- "Lone Bell"

    The Needle Drop

    Singer-songwriter Phil Elverum drops another song teasing toward the eventual release of the new Mount Eerie album, Clear Moon. Is it too early to gather a sonic theme from this album? Because between this track and the other to drop from this album thus far, Phil is making use of

    Lil B "The Based God"- Trapped In Basedworld

    The Needle Drop

    Not only is the title to Lil B’s latest mixtape hilariously clever, but a lot of the tracks on the tape are absolute bangers. There was a time when I thought the Based God’s schtick would fade, but he seems to be doing better than ever in 2012.

    White Suns- Sinews

    The Needle Drop

    White Suns approach to noise rock is more noise than rock, reminding me what exactly it is that makes the genre so unique. WATCH THE REVIEW
