In case you couldn’t tell from the title, there’s a dark sense of humour present on ‘Life Is A Grave…‘ that has long been the Nekromantix trademark.
This is the Danish psychobilly trio’s seventh full-length record, and whilst the subject matter remains largely the same (i.e. romance, death, or both), the quality of the music is more than enough to explain why the Nekromantix are regarded by many as psychobilly royalty.
There’s plenty of prime wrecking pit fodder on offer in the likes of ‘Voodoo Shop Hop‘ and ‘B.E.A.S.T.‘, with lead vocalist/upright bassist Kim Nekroman hollering and twanging away like a demon on speed. He’s not afraid to slow things down from time to time, though; as best witnessed on the sultry slices of lounge-a-billy that are Horny In A Hearse‘ and ‘My Girl‘. There’s even a cheekily-titled instrumental (‘Panic At The Morgue‘) and the great tunes and tongue-in-cheek lyrics remain present throughout.
Check out ‘Nekro High‘ on the link above; it’d be a grave mistake not to. A ghoulish mistake, even.
I’ll get my coat.
Skate rats across the states are buckling up for Emerica’s wild ride, a tour with a difference.
Instead of sitting down, having shit signed and watching Am Whatzisname frontside flip hip after hip after hip before going home only relatively stoked, this tour is fully interactive.
Anyone who’s down can come camp out with the Emerica team, chill with a beer, session a dope skatepark with them, discuss the theories of relativity over a coffee? Whatever, this ride is no holds barred.
The stallion is let loose on Go Skateboarding Day, June 21st at Battle Grounds in Washington, and ends up over in San Fran for Emerica’s Wild In The Streets. All the big hitters are on board, from Reynolds to recent fully pledged Emerican, Jerry Hsu. This is most non-heinous. When’s the tour coming to Basildon then? No? Oh…

Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Sid Vicious and Kurt Cobain are all to be in a new advert for Dr Martens.
The late musicians will appear as angels wearing the DM boots and their images have been cleared for use by Corbis who supplied the original photographs. They were then enhanced and retouched for the ad campaign.
Of the campaign, the company said:
“We wanted to communicate that Dr Martens boots are ‘made to last’ and we discovered that these idolised musicians wore them. Showing them still wearing their Docs in heaven dramatised the boots’ durability perfectly. And, as images, they feel very iconic.”
Queens Of The Stone Age have got four exclusive tracks from their upcoming album up on a microsite.
