Talk Show Host: 046: beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand

Trying to do a series on British Industrial has actually proven a little more difficult than I perhaps expected, partly my own fault due to issues with time and other commitments. But, following on from Talk Show Host: 043 with ded.pixel, I’m now continuing the series with a band with a near-unpronounceable name for many.

/Gothbox DJs and Bands at the Castle Live

We’re returning with force to the Castle, with three bands for another brilliant alternative night. The unspeakable Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand bring a dark, ambient introduction to our night with their surreal and artistic works. We follow that with the more upbeat gothic rhythms of Attrition, who’s melodic and percussive masterpieces paint stark pictures with dark fixtures. With […]

The sun is out, we’re finally edging into what feels like Spring. And in the meantime, I’ve been busy listening to new music.

/Tuesday Ten/464/Tracks of the Month (Aug-21)

We’ve got one last blast of summer here this week, before we begin the tumble down into the cooler climes of Autumn. Clubs seem to be back in full force – of course with restrictions – while some gigs are happening, others still being postponed. None of which is stopping the continuing flood of new […]

/Welcome to the Future/187/Events, Livestreams and new releases 03-Sep 2021

Stay-In-Fest and the Bank Holiday are already in the rearview mirror, and we’re now inching toward autumn, and the usual packed release schedule as things ramp up again. Today I bring you a fully updated events listing, a host of releases today on Bandcamp Friday, and the first of my interviews from Stay-In-Fest fully transcribed. […]

/Welcome to the Future/170/Livestreams and new releases 09-Apr 2021

Bandcamp Friday has been and gone, so it is a bit of a quieter week on the release front this week. In addition, I’ve overhauled the events page in a big way, so see the link further down for that. Livestreams and waiting for new releases seem to be the order of the day, for […]

/Countdown/2019/Albums

Onto week three of /Countdown/2019 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. As I’m sure I’ve explained before, I treat the “year” as 01-December to 30-November, to allow me a cut-off point, and to allow this to be done and dusted before Christmas so that I can take […]

/Click Click/007/BEAT:CANCER/London/09-Nov 2019

For the last couple of years, one Saturday around this time of year has seen me head to Electrowerkz for the latest London edition of the BEAT:CANCER shows – and indeed take photos of the bands, and write about them too.

/Talk Show Host/054/Numb

There are occasions where a long-dormant artist resurfaces that genuinely surprise. Many bands split up, and in these nostalgic times, you can almost set your watch to them reforming at some point – but Numb is different. Despite being such an important project from their releases back in the nineties, Don Gordon clearly appeared to […]

/Tuesday Ten/357/Tracks of the Month/Jan 2019

In conversations at recent gigs, a number of us have agreed that we’ve been surprised at the sheer amount of new music that has come our way already in 2019. There are a whole host of exciting new releases in February, never mind further beyond that, and already it’s proving difficult to keep up
