Head Molt "Struggle Jams" (reissue) on Anti-Everything

#AE89. Originally released by Flish Records in 2008 (#Flish-008). 
Now available for free on bandcamp. https://headmolt.bandcamp.com/album/struggle-jams. 

Recorded live March 16th 2008 in Hampton VA.

Gary Stevens: scrap metal, effects / Leah Peah: scrap metal, effects / Joshua Hickey: vocals, effects / Cover art by Travis Miller AKA Lil' Ugly Mane.

"Pretty disturbing stuff, this...

I love the way the cover art clashes with the musical content here. This is far from your typical noise release. Very interesting textures as a background wall of sound without being numbing. More like a scratching sound made from muffled vocals. Occasionally "lyrics" are heard, but it's more like an industrial version of black metal without drums, bass and guitar. Nice one!" https://www.discogs.com/Head-Molt-Struggle-Jams/release/5000329

International Noise Conference - Richmond Virginia - 2016

RVA Noise presents:  International Noise Conference - Richmond Virginia - 2016

Rat Bastard and the Laundryroom Squelchers bring the International Noise Conference tour to Richmond VA!

Featuring:

Laundryroom Squelchers, Head Molt, Stabbed In The Face, Brown Piss, Broadcastatic,
Flesh Control, Yoga Demon, Muzak City, Blue Nine, Crack Bytch, Lacanthrope, R-Complex, Taciturnal, Dyrt, Predation, Fake Object, 10-56, Coteries, Yohimbe and Stone Garden Jam Temple.

*Performance schedule posted below*

"In 2004, cult South Florida producer, Frank “Rat Bastard” Falestra, hosted the inaugural International Noise Conference (INC) at Churchill’s Pub in Miami, Florida. Around 40 acts - all from the United Sates - performed over the course of three days.

12 years later, the conference proper has expanded to a full week, every major city in Florida hosts pre- and post-shows, and the total number of bands is but one of myriad statistics that confirms INC is a consistent institution in the often chaotically transient world of do-it-yourself underground experimental music. In the course of its expansion, Falestra has justified the global scope of his festival’s once seemingly ironic namesake by featuring provocative avant-garde performers from all over the world, and by expanding into annual touring editions that have traveled through five continents..."

Featuring:

BOY HARSHER (Savanah GA/Soft Science Records)
https://soundcloud.com/boy-harsher

"BOY HARSHER is a dark electronic duo that produces gritty dance beats infused with ethereal vocals, creating a sound that is eerie, intense and incredibly danceable. Augustus Muller develops the underbelly of sound with minimal beats and grinding synths, where Jae Matthews whispers, screams and chants on top. Together, the music created is somewhere between EBM, drone and confessional storytelling. Muller and Matthews both have a strong background in film and their cinematic approach translated effectively in both their recordings and live performance." http://www.softsciencerecords.com/boy-harsher/
