Retriever are the dark underbelly of the Newcastle music scene.
Described as a frenzy of thick fuzz-bass, jagged reverb laden guitar, cutting drum-machine beats and screeching feedback topped with a slice of bitter female vocal.
Yeah, we know...but then again, it's the kind of formula that makes Peek-A-Boo say yeah!
Retriever played support slots for The Slits, These New Puritans, Dum Dum Girls, Crocodiles and Yuck among others.
This cd will be released by Desire Records,the label that brought you Kasms, Project:Komakino and //TENSE// to name a few.

Liquid G. vs Stin Scatzor vs Frames A Second vs SOLXIX!
"What is that?" we hear some readers think, especially those who are not from Belgium.
But those who are born in the country from Front 242 will know that these two bands are a bit the core of the current EBM-industrial underground.
These four bands celebrate some sort of birthday bash with those bands playing song from each other or something like that...anyway more than enough beats guaranteed!

We still don’t know how to categorize the music by For Greater Good. Sometimes we tend to say dark ambient, sometimes industrial, sometimes neo-classical and since recently something Japanese but the essence is: they’re good.
On Bandcamp they just remixed “Time to shine” from our fave Belgian indus-noisemakers Liquid G. who will have their new album out in a couple of days. More about that soon in your Peek-A-Boo, but in the meantime if you follow underneath link you can discover this brand new remix…at least that was the meaning of this newsflash!
