One week past Infest, and I’m just about back to normal. And now to plan for Cold Waves XI…
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.

/Album of the Week
30-Aug 2023 / Mind.In.A.Box / Black and White / Official Artist Store

25-Aug 2023 / Terminal / The New Republic / Bandcamp

20-Oct 2023 / Lync / These Are Not Fall Colors / Bandcamp
The oft-overlooked Lync revisit their exceptional album with a new remaster.
/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.
