DEMONSTRATION OF POWER ANNOUNCE FIRST LP, RELEASE 2 SINGLES (THE MINIDISC YOU BOUGHT AND DIDN'T LISTEN TO) AND PLAY IN EDINBURGH

 

 

The singles; it's DOP, it's heavy, it's great you don't need me to tell you that. What I do want to talk about, however, is what's going on in Summerhall right now which seems relevant since that's where they'll be playing. Gist of it is there's plans to knock some buildings in Summerhall down to make room for more student accommodation, hotels and shit like that: all of which Edinburgh has plenty of and does not need during a housing crisis. If you want to live in a flat by yourself in Edinburgh now you can expect to pay about £1200 excluding rent and it's ridiculous but apparently what our city needs right now is more shitty 1-room student "housing" that'll cost you a kidney and more hotels because, of course, tourist activity concerns those higher on the financial ladder more than Edinburgh's culture and residents. There is no tolerance to be had for this kind of shit in a community and arts space. Protect the 131. Fuck AMA. Fuck your hotels. Fuck your overpriced student accommodation. Fuck your empty "luxury" homes that we will never afford. Fuck you.

Go see DOP.

RELEASES: SURVIVAL IS PROOF OF STRENGTH BY LIGHTS OUT

 

 GHC crew Lights Out release their second EP, featuring No Known Weakness on the second track. I got to listen to the rough mixes of this before it released (as well as practice room clips) and man was I fuckin' hyped up . This is straight up LBU; one advancement I can use to make the distinction from this EP and their first is that they seem to have drawn even more influence from Special Move which is just sick. Check it out
