It’s been a busy time, but I’ve just about had the time to get another release round-up done, amid continuing to get my /Countdown /2024 lists done (expect those in December).
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.

15-Nov 2024 / Poppy / Negative Spaces / Official Label Store
Poppy seems to split their time between crushing metalcore and high-paced synthpop these days, and somehow, both work.

Experimental industrial/noise from this long-running London artist.
01-Nov 2024 / The Cure / Songs of a Lost World / Official Artist Store

One of London’s most searing, catty indie bands are back.

15-Nov 2024 / Pig Destroyer / Terrifyer (20th Anniversary) / Bandcamp
The second Pig Destroyer reissue of the year is their bruising album Terrifyer. If you like grindcore, you should have heard this already, but…

Amid mental health issues and pulled tours, doves return after a break with a new album (and single Renegade is sublime).

Canadian industrial cyberpunks Encephalon are back with a new album, and doubtless a theme to uncover.

/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
22-Nov 2024 / Pitchshifter / Peel Sessions 1991-93 / Bandcamp
A release I’d long given up on ever seeing the light of day – the Peel sessions that got me into Pitchshifter in the first place.
/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
/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. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).
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.
