Bouncy riffs are accompanied by Shogun’s bluesy vocals, that are not to be ignored. </p> <p>The lo-fi aesthetic is still present, while production is kept well.</p> <p>If you will be in the phoenix area this Tuesday May 29th, make sure to be at Rhythm Room where they will be supporting Ceremony. Tickets are only $10, get them <a href="http://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/105415" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>http://nofidelity.com/post/23196843009http://nofidelity.com/post/23196843009Wed, 16 May 2012 17:21:11 -0700royal headacheceremonyfuzzpunkphoenixmusicrythm room<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02diroMe11qjdr3ho1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://nofidelity.com/post/23185409310http://nofidelity.com/post/23185409310Wed, 16 May 2012 14:41:57 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2c2ypyyZn1r0j1wwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://nofidelity.com/post/23153694166http://nofidelity.com/post/23153694166Tue, 15 May 2012 23:02:55 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m437zt8mxq1qf1polo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://nofidelity.com/post/23143257553http://nofidelity.com/post/23143257553Tue, 15 May 2012 19:17:54 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m055wjZBc71qi8pt4o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://nofidelity.com/post/22838519123http://nofidelity.com/post/22838519123Fri, 11 May 2012 05:58:37 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3m6ibM0Tr1qc1qy1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2> Royal Headache’s Upcoming Self-Titled Debut LP Available To Stream</h2> <p>Fuzz-garage pop group Royal Headache make their self-titled debut LP available to stream over on <a href="http://www.spin.com/articles/hear-royal-headaches-full-self-titled-power-pop-throwdown" target="_blank">SPIN </a>and <a href="http://www.npr.org/2012/04/29/151226550/first-listen-royal-headache-royal-headache" target="_blank">NPR</a>.

Then, suddenly, it was everywhere. Blasting across subway aisles as tinny ringtones. Lurking in the productions of pop beasts like Britney. Filling massive arenas with people who want nothing more than to sweat and maybe see a dot onstage move his hands every four minutes. ‘Fuuuuuck youuuu, Skrillex!’ became the battle cry of those who remember a world without wobble.</em></p> <p><em>There’s usually a very clear line drawn between fans of US dubstep and the UK version, the general consensus being that US dubstep=dorks too chubby for emo and too nerdy even for the metal scene, so they use this as an outlet for their post-teen aggression/Transformers fetish. Meanwhile, they argue that UK dubstep is made by and for aging reggae fans who pee themselves in rage whenever something steps outside their comfort zone. In some regards there’s truth in both, but in the end it’s the typical New vs Old argument, one that’s almost always generated in insular scenes that have unexpectedly exploded into the mainstream: ‘Eww, why do THEY get to be a part of MY social group?’ To arbitrarily declaim a new movement (and, by association, an entire genre of music) as being somehow ‘lesser’ is not only ignorant, it’s the worst sort of I-like-all-music-except-rap-and-country teenage cheesiness.</em></p> <p><strong><em><a href="http://www.electronicbeats.net/music/features/the-demonization-of-dubstep" target="_blank">READ THE FULL PIECE HERE.</a></em></strong></p> <p>Via <a href="http://guccigoth.tumblr.com/post/20465120853/the-demonization-of-dubstep-not-long-ago-dubstep" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">guccigoth</a></p>http://nofidelity.com/post/20486318472http://nofidelity.com/post/20486318472Wed, 04 Apr 2012 14:40:37 -0700dubstep<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X6pFcK_ST9M?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><h2> changemod - Alarm </h2><br/> Check out James Ferry’s video for changemod’s Alarm.</p>http://nofidelity.com/post/20454626412http://nofidelity.com/post/20454626412Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:31:18 -0700changemodalarmchillsubmission<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/20063660107/tumblr_m1k9d3LiOr1qe2cn7&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><h2>Fang Island - Daisy </h2> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1howeBERV1rs6q6fo1_500.jpg"/></p>http://nofidelity.com/post/20063660107http://nofidelity.com/post/20063660107Wed, 28 Mar 2012 08:12:35 -0700<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/19953739262/tumblr_m1hxzhE4q71qc1qy1&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><h2> Royal Headache - Down The Lane </h2> <img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1hweghhhp1qbbl9l.jpg"/> Listen to Australia’s Royal Headache.

That first project you don’t know how to get started, and once you start, you don’t know how to finish. The project you look back on as the beginning. This is our experiment. <a href="https://vimeo.com/thompsonent" target="_blank">Brother</a> behind the camera, <a href="http://steffaloo.com" target="_blank">sister</a> in front, both of them behind the writing, and I, often on the side. Thanks to <strong>Snowmine</strong> for letting us use there amazing song. It fits quite nicely. Maybe not exactly what we had in mind, but a good starting point. And without a start, there’s no middle, and no end.
