Eyes Set to Kill:
Are Eyes Set to Kill sisters, Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez still the two hottest girls in metal? That’s what the media was saying about them last year. BlankTV had a fun little chat with them and the rest of the group about being banned from Finland and their plans after Warped Tour.

We normally release our video premieres on Tuesdays but our friends The Dopamines insisted that we do this new one today. Why not? Their new record is called Expect the Worst and Friday the 13th is an ‘expect the worse’ kinda day, especially if you’re a hormone-addled camp counselor.
In 1988 when Guns N’ Roses debut album, Appetite For Destruction, topped the Billboard 200 chart and the band’s seminal single “Sweet Child O’ Mine” did the same on Billboard’s Hot 100, being a member of the hard rocking Los Angeles band should have been a dream come true. But for the band’s drummer, Steven Adler, his fantasy reality was already turning into a nightmare. Guns N’ Roses muse, “Mr. Brownstone,” a.k.a. heroin had moved in, and by 1990 it had robbed Adler of his career, health and wealth.
When was the last time you sat down and made a mix tape, eh? Was it for someone special? Someone who caught your eye? Was it for yourself? For a friend? For that mile long walk home or that far away road trip? When was the last time you got a mix tape someone else made for you? Are you one of those who has no clue what a mix tape is, too young to remember the heyday of tape and its decline to the CD… only to be replaced once again by digital files?
As I was working out feverishly at the gym the other day, to an aggressive drum ‘n’ bass tune by the outfit Concord Dawn, my heartbeat racing, wrapped intrinsically in with the million BPM’s of the track’s drumbeat, a question occurred to me that I have never in my life really thought long and hard about.

I recently stumbled across this band from North Wales called We Are Animal. What I love about their sound is their use of unconventional noises and lo-fi overall sound. It sounds a bit like Arctic Monkeys did something dirty in a back alley with Queens of the Stone Age and had an android baby.
