The Sediment Club's new album "Stucco Thieves" comes out in a few weeks on Wharf Cat Records.

"it’s a restless punk song that comes on strong and bright, like a flash of strobe lights in a sweaty basement. The Sediment Club, as they always do, make that discord feel just right."

"In 1982 Fooze published his comic "Au feu O Veux" ("Into the fire O Veux"). An absurd but rather matching profile of five members of the band. You'll find the clue of the group's name in this booklet." Softspot just printed a ltd editon of 50 of these comics. Be one of the first 50 to pre-order BOTH black and white 2xLPs from Softspot and you'll get one.

Also in Dutch, but see the guys from O Veux talk about their 30+ year old recordings, and the new compilations coming out in just a couple of weeks! (I think...)

Dertig jaar nadat ze Limburg probeerden te veroveren met hun gitzwarte muziek is de cultgroep O Veux helemaal terug. Een Amerikaans platenlabel brengt deze week namelijk hun muziek uit midden jaren '80 opnieuw uit op vinyl. Want door het internet is er wereldwijd een grote vraag naar new wave muziek...

"The Softspot compilation ... contains some cold wave gems like A Face A Mask and Seconds. In addition, more post punk oriented work such as The Game and Beneath Shallow Graves... Seventeen songs long they show they still had something to offer and maybe could have had some more notoriety."

[EN,NL] [80/100] [Cold Wave, Post Punk]

O Veux was a post punk / cold wave band that existed in the 80s. Like their contemporaries Kebab, Cultural Decay or AA they were only known by a local and limited audience. They started a band from the philosophy that you shouldn't have the ability to play ...
