the Book Of Very Very Bad Things Podzine - a 3:33 A.M. Studios Production

Tonight, we dissect the long shadows that haunt the duo behind Violet Silhouette. No topic was off limits a we navigated the long shadows that scurry behind these bold and unfettered artists. Matters of spirit, soul, and etherial creatures... The deeds of the divine and the corporeal....And the new single "Strange Wind".

Tonight, we are pleased to offer our discussion with vocalist and guitarist Matt Curtis, of A La Carte Records artists Plight. Hailing from Brooklyn, NYC, Plight have been gaining a lumbering momentum since the Linger E.P. and B-Sides single dropped in 2019. In January of this year, they released the seismically melodic "Plastic Sun" to great fanfare and critical adoration. Using elements of Quicksand, Hum, Seaweed, Helmet, Handsome, Slowdive, Smashing Pumpkins, and Weezer, and combining influences with their own imaginative twists and turns, Plight have forged a singular path. A monolithically hefty sound that lulls as much as it bludgeons.

From their Bio-

Brooklyn-based four piece Plight has spent the last five years making a name for themselves in New York City. Now with their debut LP on up-and-coming imprint à La Carte Records, the sound of Plight has evolved into a concoction of chunky power-pop anthems, wall-of-sound shoegaze, and morose slowcore ballads.

“Plastic Sun” is now available via à La Carte Records. Purchase the album on vinyl, cassette or digitally here.

post-punk / darkwave from Ocean Springs, MS

BIO

Funeral Date is a post-punk/darkwave project from Ocean Springs, MS, founded in 2022 by Tony Arnold. Funeral Date is one of the most exciting and original projects to ever come out of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 

He fuses lush synthwave melodies with shimmery dream pop guitars, vintage drum machines, and lo-fi bedroom production to generate a style that is simultaneously out of the past and modern, feeling like a sun faded memory.

Drawing influences from artists such as The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode and Cocteau Twins, Funeral Date’s music is designed to be sad, yet danceable, building his own brand of "happy-sad."

Funeral Date’s first album, titled ‘Coastgoth’ was self-released on September 1st, 2022 and his second release, the 'Out of Prayers' EP, was released June 23rd, 2023. He has been playing live, captivating audiences throughout Mississippi and surrounding states.

Tonight, we celebrate the art and music of Michael Thorn, former coordinator for Maximum Rock & Roll, member of Architects of the New Christ Rebellion, Inept, Kill The Man Who Questions, Stockholm Syndrome, and War All The Time, and currently the publisher of Razorblades & Aspirin zine.

We delve into what it looks like to be an appreciator and participant in Hardcore Punk as an adult, how we pay that forward, what the "Scene" is like now vs. then ( hint, not very ), and accepting compliments. Living beyond ego. Rejecting nostalgia. Reveling in the now.

"Martyrs" by Heart Out

Theme by GOWN

On the second episode of the evening, I sit with an absolute staple in the Scranton. PA music scene, Clyde of Sleeplore. Combining elements of Post-Rock, Shoegaze, Britpop, 90's Alt Rock and Indie, Sleeplore harnesses an emotional charge that even it's creator doesn't fully realize it's impact upon the beholder. that is, actually, what makes this work so beautiful. it is devoid of pretense.

Featured in Alternative Press’ “100 ARTIST YOU NEED TO KNOW” print issue 391, Sleeplore is the brainchild of American songwriter & producer Clyde Rosencrance. Hailing from a nondescript region deep in the woods somewhere between the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeastern U.S., Sleeplore’s sound calls on elements of discovery and the comfort of isolation. Weaving a thread to combine hypnagogic visions with a contrived production style, Sleeplore offers listeners a sonic template from which they can contemplate their own unique stories.

The project’s enveloping sound is influenced by artists such as Sparklehorse, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, & Coldplay. Listeners will appreciate the mixture of familiar rock song structure with immersive elements that pull those listening into a contemplative state.

Rosencrance’s formal tenure in music spans more than 15 years. Throughout that time he has released several collaborative works from the raw college rock and alternative sounds of The Magdalyns (dubbed “Skeleton Rock”) to more contemporary rock and roots-based sounds like Ourafter and Dalton 45’s. He has shared also the stage with an array of notable artists including Yellowcard, The Roots, and Everclear.

Clyde has also produced for many other artists both independently and through his personal studio, Republic Audio Studio. Often referred to as a “5th member of the band”, he helps drive their vision to realization & adds unique elements that offer a sonic signature.
