"Unique and otherworldly." Vive Le Rock “New wave post-punk blood powered by a heartbeat of '60s influences” Louder Than War. Making music since 1989.
Yet another use of the ‘unique’ word in a review. Thats meaningful in a cutnpaste world. Thanks to Billy Yfantis at Sklylight Webzine in Greece for getting into Permafrost skylight.gr/index.php/20...

It was really cool to be able to chat with DJ Nocturna in this video-interview and focus on the three discs of A Cornucopia while ranging much further afield too youtube.com/watch… there is plenty to say about a project as wholistic as this with a 35th anniversary year too.

Hello. Seeing as things are blowing up here a bit, here’s a refresher, MUSICnGEAR said our new single Artificial Paradise is “a lush blend of indie rock and danceable power pop” which neatly sums that one up, but the album is a hugely diverse 38 track three disc set so there is masses to explore.

35 years since this particular musical voyage of discovery, experimentation & boundary pushing started. 17th September 1989. We recorded the 1st EP on old technology. The Berlin Wall was still up & no internet. A different world. We’re still here. Still making independent music & still enjoying it!

Diverse and contradictory words from Blitzed Magazine attempting to describe the new album, maybe finding out for yourself is a good idea bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-corn...

“Information.”

A very nice way to start the lunar year, as Reverbnation has us at No.1 again. Thanks!
2024 is going to be busy (British Understatement TM), we have so much ‘in the pipe’ for this year. Exciting times.

And a glass of red to celebrate a full set of draft 1 mixes in the bag (x16 are ready to master, x14 with minor tweaks) and we’re on schedule time wise too.
