Complete Control Productions present a new addition to their artist roster.
After a few years of relative silence, Swedish EBM veterans Severe Illusion are preparing a full scale comeback later in 2011.
The album "No More Alive Than You Deserve" is due for release on CCP, where Severe Illusion have found a new home along with Arzt+Pfusch, Emu Bomb, Infiltrator and The Pain Machinery.
As usual with Severe Illusion, a traditional EBM sound combined with lots of distortion and serious attitude problems is to be expected. The album deals with the perceived freedom of the individual, the failure of democracy and the advantages of ignorance.
A journey back to the roots of riot electronics.
Severe Illusion have been active since 2000, releasing 3 albums and playing numerous live shows all over Europe. Lately the band have been collaborating with The Pain Machinery: the results will be released before the end of this year.
The career from Dum Dum Girls seems to be in an expanding phase as our beloved rock 'n roll girls confirmed that they will release a second album on Subpop.
"Only In Dreams" will be out on 27th September.
The good thing is that the four girls already announced an European tour and for Belgian fans: you can see them performing on 10th November at The Botanique in Brussels.
Icehouse gives away a whole concert as free download on their Facebook page.
It seems like Facebook is getting more and more the tool for bands to spoil their fans.
A day after we told you that Side-Line offers you a massive compilation set, we now find out that you can download a whole concert by Icehouse, recorded in 1980.
It's quite a historical gig as this radio concert was still done under Flowers, their previous name.
