Ashbury Heights - The Looking Glass Society

Ashbury Heights - The Looking Glass Society
(2015) Out Of Line

I had completely forgotten about this band. I remember liking their first album, the 2007 "Three Cheers For The Newlydeads", but then my mind goes blank. It seems the band is quite popular despite all the drama regarding both the record label and different female vocalists. I wasn't really optimistic about this album when I bought it, but I'm glad I did. Thumbs up!

Zombie Girl - Panic Attack EP

Zombie Girl - Panic Attack DDEP
(2015) Alfa Matrix

After a six year hiatus Zombie Girl finally returns with a new release. Sadly there's just two new songs, and a couple of remixes, on this EP. But the main song, "Panik Attack", is really good. I'm curious to see how Renee will manage without Sebastian Komor in the future. This new EP is a promising start! I've always liked the music of mr. Komor, and that includes earlier Zombie Girl releases.

The New Division - Gemini

The New Division - Gemini
(2015) Division 87

If you're wondering what this band sounds like, maybe the band name will offer you a clue? Something in the line of Joy Division and New Order, you ask? Yes, but skip the Joy Division bit. This is pure New Order pop music - and really good at it! They have already released three singles (or maybe even four?) from this album on their Bandcamp site. Get them all!

RxGF - Any Other Way

RxGF - Any Other Way
(2015) Orange Allies

I've seen nothing but rave reviews of this album, and I agree for sure. It was a tricky one to get hold of, though. I'd recommend a Bandcamp download, it's both cheaper and includes a couple of bonus tracks. But it's also available as CD form their label, Orange Allies. Don't forget to add the "We Will Not Be Denied" CDs if you go for the physical release. The CDs has only one song, but it's an Assemblage 23 remix!

Reaper - Der Schnitter EP

Reaper - Der Schnitter EP
(2015) Infacted

Vasi Vallis is back again. This time it's his harder and harsher project Reaper. A bit different from NamNamBulu and Frozen Plasma's future pop, but not really that far away. Chances are that you enjoy both. I do! Sadly, this EP contains just one song - in six different mixes.
