The second of my recently promised interviews is another long-overdue one, really: with Scott Fox of Canadian tribal-industrial behemoth iVardensphere.

/Talk Show Host/075/Collide
The first interview of 2022 on /amodelofcontrol.com is with a band I’ve long wanted to talk to – and indeed I’ve been listening to them for a long time. LA-based darkwave/goth/industrial (more on genre fluidity and definitions later) band Collide has been part of my musical life for over two decades, a group that never […]
/Talk Show Host/074/Ruby – Lesley Rankine
The latter half of 2021 has not quite worked out as I had planned on /amodelofcontrol.com. While I’ve kept the /Tuesday Ten series running, other coverage has had to take quite a bit of a backseat while other elements of life have had to be prioritised.
/Talk Show Host/073/SPECTRES at Stay-In-Fest
Similar to last year, I was asked by the Infest organisers to assist with this year’s event, once again by way of submitting a number of interviews. Due to time pressures and general issues with scheduling, it all went a bit down to the wire, but we got there in the end!
/Talk Show Host/072/Terminal
A couple of months ago, I recorded two lengthy interviews with new artists that I wanted to talk about. Then, we got caught up in work and a house move, and they had to sit on the backburner for a bit. But now we’re successfully moved, and I’ve had a spare evening to sit down, […]
/Talk Show Host/071/KLACK
The whole business of the side-project is something that has kept industrial artists busy pretty much since the genre was a thing. Some work brilliantly, some are instantly forgettable, and some have become better known than the parent project.
/Talk Show Host/070/Imperative Reaction
The beginning of 2021 sees a couple of notable North American industrial artists releasing new albums on the same day. Front Line Assembly return with Mechanical Soul, but perhaps even more interestingly, there is also the return of a band that has barely released any music in the past decade.
/Talk Show Host/069/The Foreign Resort
The other Saturday, I ended up heavily involved in Stay-In-Fest. As well as DJing an early afternoon set that seemed to go down well (setlist: /DJ/Guest/098), four online/video interviews that I’d conducted with different artists over the previous couple of weeks were broadcast.
/Talk Show Host/068/Bootblacks
The other Saturday, I ended up heavily involved in Stay-In-Fest. As well as DJing an early afternoon set that seemed to go down well (setlist: /DJ/Guest/098), four online/video interviews that I’d conducted with different artists over a previous couple of weeks were broadcast.

/Talk Show Host/066/Chris Peterson talks about Jeremy Inkel
Last Saturday, I ended up heavily involved in Stay-In-Fest. As well as DJing an early afternoon set that seemed to go down well (setlist: /DJ/Guest/098), four online/video interviews that I’d conducted with different artists over the previous couple of weeks were broadcast.

On Saturday, I ended up heavily involved in Stay-In-Fest. As well as DJing an early afternoon set that seemed to go down well (setlist: /DJ/Guest/098), four online/video interviews that I’d conducted with different artists over a previous couple of weeks were broadcast.
/Talk Show Host/064/Autoclav1.1
While there hasn’t been many new reviews or interviews posted on /amodelofcontrol.com recently, that’s partly because I’ve been beavering away behind the scenes on a number of projects – as well as listening to the glut of new music that has been reaching my inbox of late, too.
/Talk Show Host/063/Consolidated
Picking the bands to talk to in this series is a strange business. Some publicity people offer me interviews as part of the general promo process – and they are often surprising bands that I might not have expected to be able to interview in the first place (this is only a small corner of […]
/Talk Show Host/062/Jean-Marc Lederman
In this period of enforced downtime – I last saw a gig on 05-Mar (Marika Hackman), and frankly who knows when I’m next going to get to go to one – I’m using the time to catch up on various amounts of writing for this site, and also get on with trying to make some […]

/Talk Show Host/059/Teeth of the Sea
If you’ve been reading my work on /amodelofcontrol.com over the past decade or so, you will have seen me talk about Teeth of the Sea an awful lot. They’ve long been one of the most progressive bands in London, not to mention one of the best (and loudest!) live bands in the city too, and […]
/Talk Show Host/058/Chaos Theory
At the end of February (29-Feb to be exact), one of the more interesting, progressive promoters in London is marking Ten Years of Chaos at The Dome in Tufnell Park. That promoter is the collective known as Chaos Theory, who for the past ten years have been bringing London gig-goers interesting, experimental and thoughtful bills […]
/Talk Show Host/057/KMFDM
My association with KMFDM goes way back into the nineties. I own most if not all of their albums in one form or another, I’ve seen them live five or six times, and I still listen to them regularly. Sure, they’ve had occasional periods where they’ve not matched some of the heights they’d set themselves […]
