Song of the day – 115: Blessure Grave

Some dark Goth for you all.

It’s the best imitation of Joy Division I’ve heard in around three decades – i.e it isn’t really an imitation of Joy Division at all. There again, they do call their new cassette Unknown Blessures. I’m not sure if I don’t detect the hand of my friend Nathan from The Gossip in this, but he assures me he has nothing to with it. He was just the tip-off. (And he’s also releasing a seven-inch by them.) From San Diego, and it’s clear that Blessure Grave understand the power and reach of their music, if nothing else.

Here. Have a listen.

Who would have thought the link between San Diego and Hobart, Tasmania would be so strong?

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
