The bing, at its most basic, is a big heap of something. The term belongs to a particular place, both etymologically and historically. In the Central Belt between Edinburgh and Glasgow, there are massive bings, composed of the detritus of a now-extinct (at least in this area) oil industry in which the energy resource was extracted through shale mining. Today, the landscape is populated by these dregs of yesteryear, which have since become indistinguishable from the surrounding topography, bearing a fresh covering of grass and earth, effectively camouflaging the industrial genesis of these beasts.

From the mighty fine folks at SRS Cinema, here’s another weird ‘n’ wacky slice of low-budget sharkploitation…and boy, this one goes there, in its all-out WTH-ness. We have a size-shifting, talking, at points walking shark who likes making it with the ladies, a demented female cult that follows said shark- with loads of blood, limb-munching, and some awkward humour- all captured in lo-fi, shot-on-video form

Vacant Align Interview
Active since October 2025, Wisconsin’s Vacant Align is one of the more atmospheric and texturally inventive wall noise projects to appear in some time. It’s a project that takes its time in releasing work, and you can certainly hear it, as each of their releases so far is a perfectly crafted blend of expressive and engaging textures. Behind the project is John Engman, who very kindly agreed to give us an email interview
Jasper Sharp interview
In the year 1971, Nikkatsu, the oldest/ at one point, the biggest film production company in Japan. Did something quite daring/ some would say crazy- they completely switched over their production to softcore adult films, which would become known as Roman Porno. Between 1971 and 1988, the company produced around 850 of these titles. The thing that made these films stand out from general softcore films is the often creative & inventive choices made- yes, the films primal focus is sleaze, but great examples of the genre are so much more than that. In the last year or so, there has been a spate of reissues of films in the genre from labels such as 88 Films, Third Window Films, and Klubb Super 8. One of the key figures/contributors behind these releases is Jasper Sharp- one of the world's experts on the genre, and the wider Pink genre it’s connected to. Jasper kindly agreed to give us an email interview discussing his history with the genre, his contributions to releases, and the new/updated edition of his book Behind The Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema on Fab Press.
Here’s a CD compilation bringing together three mid-to-late ’60s horror soundtracks by Elisabeth Luthyens-Britain’s first female feature film composer. The twenty-four-track collection brings together score cues ( along with atmospheric sound effects from the films) and a trailer for each film, with a total disc runtime of seventy five minutes.
