The Ruins of Beverast unleash a black metal stormcloud, all martial drums and lightning-strike guitars sweeping scythe-like over the field of nodding heads in a packed Green Room. It’s a ferocious, scathing display made all the more intense by the devastatingly tight musicianship. An immense start to the Panopticon (Paul Verhagen) day and that’s Roadburn in a nutshell; What Jeremy Bentham, the 18th even the first band on one of the century English philosopher who smaller stages are world class. developed the concept of the Panopticon, would think of his creation’s musical namesake is, sadly, impossible to know. I like to think that, even if the music were beyond him, the passionate social reformer would appreciate the politically relevant sentiments of the band, something which is made most obvious on their opening selection of country- influenced tracks. Banjo and mandolin Motorpsycho (Paul Verhagen) blend with mournful voices, singing of Next door, on the Main Stage, lost families and failing factories, into Motorpsycho are working up their songs that wouldn’t be out of place on groove and creating the kind of sounds, a Steve Earle record.

  • Lone Bellow – Episode Transcript Matt: for Those Who Are Unaware of Steven Pressfield, Pressfield Is an Author of a Book Called the War of Art
    THE RESISTANCE – EPISODE 18 Zach Williams of The Lone Bellow – Episode Transcript Matt: For those who are unaware of Steven Pressfield, Pressfield is an author of a book called The War of Art. It’s actually sort of our source inspirational material for the podcast, so Zach I’d love just to read a couple lines and have you riff on that, and we’ll see where it goes over the next few minutes. So Pressfield says this: “Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. And between the two stands the resistance.” Zach, I’d love to know for you, what form resistance is taking, on the verge of another album release, or even personally in other creative ways, whatever that strikes you. Zach: I think some of my base levels, I struggle with people-pleasing, and that can be with my band, that can be during a show. It’s something that I have to be aware of. So I think I needed to figure out some things going on inside me that would easily lead me to making something that I didn’t want to make, once it was all said and done, and not getting carried away just in the process of creating the music. Every single sound that you record, every single emotion that you try to capture, it all can be tied back in to one thing in someone’s soul. For me, that can easily be some sort of fear. I started writing music in 2003, and it was a very cathartic thing.

    Ryan Leach is a skateboarder who grew up in Los Angeles and Ventura County. Like Belinda Carlisle and Lorna Doom, he graduated from Newbury Park High School. With Mor Fleisher-Leach he runs Spacecase Records. Leach’s interviews are available at Bored Out (http://boredout305.tumblr.com/). Razorcake is a bi-monthly, Los Angeles-based fanzine that provides consistent coverage of do-it-yourself punk culture. We believe in positive, progressive, community-friendly DIY punk, and are the only bona fide 501(c)(3) non-profit music magazine in America. We do our part. An Oral History of The Gun Club originally appeared in Razorcake #29, released in December 2005/January 2006. Original artwork and layout by Todd Taylor. Photos by Edward Colver, Gary Leonard and Romi Mori. Cover photo by Edward Colver. Zine design by Marcos Siref. Printing courtesy of Razorcake Press, Razorcake.org he Gun Club is one of Los Angeles’s greatest bands. Lead singer, guitarist, and figurehead Jeffrey Lee Pierce fits in easily with Tthe genius songwriting of Arthur Lee (Love), Chris Hillman (Byrds), and John Doe and Exene (X). Unfortunately, neither he nor his band achieved the notoriety of his fellow luminary Angelinos. From 1979 to 1996, Jeffrey manned the Gun Club ship through thick and mostly thin. Understandably, the initial Fire of Love and Miami lineup of Ward Dotson (guitar), Rob Ritter (bass), Jeffrey Lee Pierce (vocals/ guitar) and Terry Graham (drums) remains the most beloved; setting the spooky, blues-punk template for future Gun Club releases. At the time of its release, Fire of Love was heralded by East Coast critics as one of the best albums of 1981.
