Blind Butcher Flirting With the Witch Queen of Ancient Greece
600+ gigs into their career, Blind Butcher celebrate another chapter in their wildly unpredictable career with a new album, their fifth. “Hekate” is out now on the Reverend Beat Man’s revered Voodoo Rhythm Records label. To dedicate their album to the dog-loving Greek goddess of magic and witchcraft clearly is a declaration of intent. Christian […]
More Trash from the Monsters!
Truly, this lot should come with a health warning. Everything about these reptilian misfits, known as The Monsters, is unhygienic. Their music? A revolting stew of all that is nasty about fuzz-guitars, minimalist drums and human voices. And, of course, they are totally brilliant. Deprived of access to their natural habitat, the stages of dingy […]

The Jackets, new and improved with more fuzz than ever before
“10 Songs of Pure Raw Wild Swiss Psychedelic Fuzz Garage at its best, fronted by the wildest woman in Europe”, promises label chief the Reverend Beat-Man for the second Voodoo Rhythm album by The Jackets, “Queen of the Pill”. As ever, the Reverend gets it pretty much right. Alice Cooper called them “the real deal”, […]
More crazed blues trash from Reverend Beat-Man
How does he do it! Reverend Beat-Man – Fifty-one years of age, and hardly a day saner than when he was a teenage punk rocker with a band called the Monsters. Just in time for a massive European tour that takes in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Spain and the UK comes the release on 20 […]
Dead Brothers alive – new album!
“I have no memories, I only have scars”, sings main Dead Brother Alain Croubalian on this, the Dead Brothers’ eighth album. It’s called “Angst”, and – to be perfectly honest – it’s just as brilliant as all the ones that went before. It is released on 9 February 2018 on Reverend Beat Man’s supergroovy Voodoo […]
Blind Butcher ready to take the world
The wonderfully-weirdly-dressed Blind Butcher are an archetypal Voodoo Rhythm band: mad, bad and impossible to resist. The guitar/drums/pedals duo of Christian Aregger and Roland Bucher follow up their Steve Albini-produced debut album with a second LP, “Alawalawa”. Their typically idiosyncratic Voodoo Rhythm PR blurb describes their musical style as “irritating post punk new wave kraut […]
