We keep going in the lockdown. There are new releases, and still new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.

/transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has returned, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/019, which continues on the letter M. /transmission/020 will follow soon.

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”) and Spotify too.

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

/This Week/New Releases

The latest of Jared Louche’s projects to get an album release in what is beginning to look like a very busy 2020 for him is Ultraterrestrials, who released Awoke Three Times in the Night just after I went to press last week. Also missed last week was the digital release of the marvellous new Melt Yourself Down album 100% YES (physical versions are currently scheduled for June.

Onto this week’s new releases – unexpected success story Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs return with Viscerals, while Purity Ring release Womb. Also, Keef Baker’s Nimon project has released the first new single from his upcoming new album.

/This Week/Upcoming Releases

Fiona Apple’s first new album in nearly eight years, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, is released two weeks hence, on 17-Apr.

An interesting new punk/hardcore supergroup (including members of Refused, Girls Against Boys, Minor Threat) is Fake Names, who release their self-titled debut on 08-May.

/Upcoming/Gigs/Club Nights/Events

Obviously things have rather changed right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.

This weekly listing has now seen a significant overhaul, and has moved over to a Shareable calendar format that is embedded below. You can add it to your own calendar views if you wish (GCal link, iCal link), and then you will get dynamic updates as I get them. Otherwise see the embedded calendar below.

If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above.
