It’s Bandcamp Friday, so go support your favourite artists.
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.
/amodelofcontrol.com now has a Patreon page, at this stage purely as a potential way of helping to cover the running costs of the site. There is absolutely no compulsion to do so: if you feel you can chuck a small amount to the site each month, that would be appreciated.

Ten years after his first solo album The Hum (more about that in a moment), and following the much-praised return of Cubanate for a few years, Marc Heal finally finds time for another solo album, and first single The Shadowman is a pulsating industrial banger.

The first new album from ISC in nearly nine years suggests a return to their classic sound, certainly if the outstanding lead single Fever is anything to go by…

/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 new revamp and redesign as of September 2025.
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.
