Sutcliffe No More - Normal Everyday Anger And Domestic Self-disgust

Sutcliffe No More are a British two-piece bringing together Kevin Tomkins & Paul Taylor. Formed in 2021, it’s the spin-off project/ next sonic step from those behind infamous-yet-often creatively distinct PE project Sutcliffe Jugend. To date, it’s released three albums Domestic(2021), Consulting Adult (2022), and last year’s Normal on Austrias Klanggalerie. Kevin Tomkins kindly agreed to give us an email interview- moving from his sonic influences, the controversial early years of Sutcliffe Jügend, and of course Sutcliffe No More.


Occlusion - The Operation Is About To Begin

Over the years the French wall noise underground has produced more than a few projects with interesting themes/ concepts, behind their ‘walls’. One of the lesser known/ publicise of these is Alès based Occlusion. Since 2015 the project has slowly but surely released sixty releases via their bandcamp. The project’s theme is medical operations- with each release utilizing a picture of a real operation. Their sound has always been effective, and at times subtly creative. I tracked down David the man behind the project for his first-ever interview. With big thanks to Juilan Skrobek for help with the translation!


Best Of 2023 - Music, Sound & Film

As the end of the year rolls to the end. Here are our writer's best-of lists for 2023, and as always, it’s a highly genre-varied mixed selection of titles- highlighting the sites mission statement.


Powerhouse Films - Of Magic, Myth, & Mutilation- The Films Of Michael J Murphy

Between the late 1960s and mid 2010’s UK Portsmouth-based filmmaker Michael J Murphy helmed thirty one micro low-budget productions- these moved through genres such as costume drama, fantasy, horror, and Sci-fi. His work had largely fallen under the wider cult cinema radar  - with only really his 1982 slasher Invitation to Hell being known- mainly due to its addition to the Video Nasty list. Early on this year saw the release of Magic, Myth, & Mutilation - A ten Blu-Ray set from Powerhouse - taking in twenty-nine of Mr Murphy’s feature-length films, a large selection of elements of uncompleted/ short films, a new three-part documentary, commentary tracks, and much more. Sam Dunn from Powerhouse- who put together & oversaw this huge release- was kind enough to give us an email interview regarding this truly epic & definitive boxset looking at the film work of this lesser-known, but highly prolific British genre filmmaker.


IO - Of Sound, Of Art, Of Expression

IO is a Brazilian visual artist, scenographer, fashion designer, performer and electronic music producer from Porto Alegre. Sonically her works move between dark ambience and noise- having been active since the year 2020. She also runs/ manages five netlabels. We tracked down the very busy lady for an email interview.


Lucky Cerruti - Of Not so Friendly Strangers, Deformed Camp-side Killers, and Uncle Sleazo Deranged Tales

New York-based Lucky Cerruti is one of the up-and-coming directors in the underground horror scene. Since 2019 the theatre actor turned director/ writer/producer/editor has helmed three (near) features. The staying-in-someone-else’s horror of Kindness Of Strangers, slasher-meets-deranged creature feature of Freak, and most recently 2022’s Uncle Sleazo's Toxic and Terrifying T.V. Hour- which stands as one of the better and varied horror anthologies I’ve seen in recent years. Lucky kindly agreed to give us an email interview- talking about how he first got into film, each of his films, and what’s next for this talented horror filmmaker.
