Out today: "BC35: Volume Two" — The sequel to last year's "BC35" album, "Volume Two" is a tribute to producer Martin Bisi and his Brooklyn studio, BC Studio, where he has lived and worked since the early '80s. The album consists of recordings of new material from dozens of BC Studio alumni who gathered at the studio to jam out in honor of Bisi — including ex-Sonic Youth, Swans, Cop Shoot Cop, Live Skull, Lubricated Goat, Blind Idiot God, White Hills, and more. Amidst this celebration, the future of BC Studio is unknown as a new rezoning effort by the city seeks to reshape the neighborhood... 🚨🚨🚨 “If you have even a tangential interest in art-rock, noise, industrial, and metal music from the ’80s through today, then you’ve probably heard something Martin Bisi has worked on. The prolific producer is responsible for capturing the sounds of Sonic Youth, Swans, Helmet, White Zombie, Cop Shoot Cop, and many more – including Herbie Hancock’s GRAMMY-winning hit, Rockit – at his BC Studio recording facility in Gowanus, Brooklyn." —Kerrang 🚨🚨🚨 “Last year, underground NYC music producer Martin Bisi celebrated the 35th anniversary of his BC Studio with a compilation album of music recorded at BC Studio... Bisi is now following that album with 'BC35: Volume Two,' and as the press release points out, this sequel 'comes amidst new clouds of uncertainty, as neighborhood rezoning talks commenced in February which could impact BC Studio in a number of ways.'” —BrooklynVegan 🚨🚨🚨 “Martin Bisi, a record producer who has run his studio on 3rd Street for just about 40 years, fears that the rezoning's promise to bring as many as 20,000 new people to Gowanus could push his business out of the neighborhood, and maybe even New York City altogether..." —Patch 🚨🚨🚨 “‘BC35' is a project honoring the legacy of producer Martin Bisi and his Brooklyn studio, BC Studio... Celebrating BC Studio and the ethic it represents." —Ghettoblaster 🚨🚨🚨 “This 'BC35' record does not disappoint – it will take your mind on an outergalactic Noise Rock trip to another fucking universe.” —Cvlt Nation 🚨🚨🚨 #martinbisi #bcstudio #sonicyouth #brooklyn #thechainworld
@blushisdumb just crushed BK Bazaar.
Amazing new @martinbisibc interview is up now at @kerrangmagazine_ — Martin goes deep into the history of his Brooklyn studio, BC Studio (wild dogs, gangs, making records with Swans and White Zombie in the ‘80s, etc), and talks about the uncertain future now in the face of major gentrification hitting the neighborhood... “BC35: Volume Two” comes out tomorrow, 4/19 on @bronsonproduzioni — the album is a celebration of Martin’s 35+ years of work, featuring new material by current and former members of Sonic Youth, Swans, Cop Shoot Cop, Live Skull, Blind Idiot God, White Hills, and more. #martinbisi #bcstudio #noiserock #nowave #sonicyouth #swans #whitezombie #brooklyn #gentrification #thechainworld

@__skryptor__ is “Album of the Day” on @bandcamp today: “The New York-based trio Skryptor might not even consider themselves math rock—their bio accurately references metal pioneers Black Sabbath and free jazz destroyer Sonny Sharrock—but their debut album ‘Luminous Volumes’ recalls the dizzying heights of that genre’s peaks nonetheless, sifting scaling guitars and calculator rhythms into roller coaster tunes.” 🎸 Out now on Sleeping Giant Glossolalia, Aqualamb, and SKiN GRAFT Records! #skryptor #blacksabbath #sonnysharrock #albumoftheday #newyork #thechainworld

The band wraps up a US tour this week but they’ll be back out there with @animalsasleaders in May... #moontooth #pitchfork #mastodon #animalsasleaders #rock #metal #prog #thechainworld
@brooklynvegan has premiered “Up Against the Wall” — a new track by members of ‘80s NYC noise-rock royalty LIVE SKULL (here going by the name New Old Skull)... The song appears on “BC35: Volume Two” — out 4/19 on @bronsonproduzioni it is the second album in a series honoring producer @martinbisibc and BC Studio where since the early ‘80s Bisi has helped make recordings with the likes of Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, Sonic Youth, Swans, Helmet, Cop Shoot Cop, Unsane, Afrika Bambaataa, Herbie Hancock, John Zorn, and more... With “BC35: Volume Two” coming soon, the future of BC Studio is in question — a new rezoning proposal seeks to reshape the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn where the studio resides... Bisi gave some exclusive words to BrooklynVegan on this issue, check it out! And catch the “BC35: Volume Two” record release party on 4/25 at Market Hotel — live performances by Live Skull, White Hills, and current/former members of Sonic Youth, Swans, Cop Shoot Cop, and more! #martinbisi #bcstudio #nyc #brooklyn #gentrification #noiserock #nowave #liveskull #sonicyouth #thechainworld 📸 by Jen Jaffe
That’s none other than Ava Mendoza of @unnaturalways in the May ‘19 issue of @thewiremagazine 👀 Pick up the mag to read the whole feature — here’s a taste: “Derek Bailey meets Morbid Angel in the sci-fi shredding of Ava Mendoza and power trio Unnatural Ways... Mendoza’s riffs and solos bounce across the sonic landscape, sometimes shredding but just as frequently pulling from surf music or the industrial psychedelia of Chrome. The lyrics combine two types of alien imagery: the immigrant/emigrant type, and the extraterrestrial... Her voice is a clean post-punk wail of the Sioixsie/Savages school...” New album “The Paranoia Party” is out now on @sgglossolalia and the band plays a record release show TONIGHT (Tues 4/2) at Ceremony in Brooklyn! #unnaturalways #avamendoza #guitar #guitarist #morbidangel #siouxsiesioux #experimentalmusic #postpunk #scifi #thechainworld
New @bodystuffworldpeace music is coming in 2019 — of the NYC duo’s last EP, Decibel stated: “It's as though a housebound, pimply-faced dweeb with a rat moustache started writing music after absorbing INXS, Crowded House and Cure in between all the cool stuff that led to him making Roadrunner mix tapes and bootleg Earache shirts.” 📸 @basementsandblastbeats #bodystuff #thechainworld
“Crux” — the stunning sophomore album by @moontoothshreds — is out today as the band begins a string of headlining US dates! 🔥 Kerrang! says “The Long Island, NY, quartet have all the grind and groan that one wants from a heavy metal track, but their use of clean vocals, uplifting riffs, and humongous choruses save them from the acrobatic and esoteric sides of the genre...” MetalSucks calls it “metallicized hard rock so enticing we’re convinced it emits pheromones.” Free Williamsburg hit the nail on the head with this one: “Like Torche hopped up on trucker pills and John Petrucci guitar DVDs!” 🔥 #moontooth #rock #metal #torche #johnpetrucci #newalbum #tour #thechainworld
