It’s a well known fact that Crystal Castles aren’t a fan of clarity. Naming both of their albums Crystal Castles, the Gothic electro duo have continued in the same vein, dropping their new track Plague without any forewarning, or as to whether the song’s set to appear on the band’s new album. You can listen [...]
Crystal Castles debuted a new, untitled track at the Parklife Weekender festival in Manchester last Saturday. A fan video recently surfaced with a clip of the mysterious cut from their also untitled, but supposedly still upcoming, third album. The track is much less abrasive than the material off of “Crystal Castles II.” The duo explore [...]
My final night at SXSW 2012 began with me watching Atlanta’s Board of Whores perform. The band consists of two guys who are the real deal when it comes to rockers. Willis Corley plays crunchy, thick punk rock guitar licks live, over an underbelly of programmed beats and sequences that he brings to the stage. [...]

The band – Alice Glass and Ethan Kath – are recording in Warsaw, Poland this time, their first time in a studio since working on (II), their award-winning [see below] sophomore full-length, [...]

While getting such a rounded number as 25 wasn’t exactly the goal here, that’s how many ‘best’ indie records of 2010 I’d like to mention. As a disclaimer, this is not a reflection of The Silver Tongue indie team’s collective opinion, but a mere listing of the records that I, personally, have enjoyed the most [...]

To be so young and so successfully still while being pointed from all sides as a cult icon (present perfect) is fascinating enough. The music [...]
