Another busy week for releases – and new announcements this week. I’ve also added another swathe of events to the listing, too. Links below.
This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.

The much-hyped US synthpop band with a new album.

Two of the heaviest bands around join forces for what sounds – going on the first track – to be a crushing, overwhelming release.

They had me at the album title, frankly.
24-Feb 2023 / Wanderer / Indulgence of the Unreal/ Bandcamp
I liked their recent releases a lot, so more of what Wanderer do is fine by me.
/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
10-Mar 2023 / KANGA / KANGA/ Bandcamp
KANGA’s still exceptional debut album – Album of the Year on this site in 2016 – gets a long-requested CD repress/re-release.
/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
Obviously, things change at short notice right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.
/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. I’m currently fixing a couple of minor backend issues, so new events may not be added promptly, or be added sporadically.
If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
