Vendetta Love/Delusional Silence – Belfast, Voodoo – 13 July 2024
It had been more than a few hot minutes since we had reunited the ÜRHQ tag team and climbed the hallowed stairs of our favourite venue, but what better excuse to take a trip into the darkened heart of Belfast city’s back streets than this promisory note of a double bill, headlined by one of the most exciting young bands I have heard in a long time, making their first venture across the Irish border to the northern capital.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Von Loop
“The Twelfth”, as it is known in the tiny corner of the Uberverse we call home, is best known for bands of a different variety, but it seems somewhat inanely appropriate that Monk should choose a band from just down the road from ÜRHQ as my latest pick of the pops, as this veggie punk quartet from the town that also birthed the highly over-rated Snore Patrol feed us some #LeafyGreens with their latest tasty dish.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Great American Ghost
This second single from the new-look ÜS metalcore ghouls pummels the listener with blast beats and buzz saw riffs while at the same time seeing them continuing their relentless sense of exploration, via an arrangement carries through sonic twists and turns that highlight the band’s explorative writing style.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets/FEET – Amsterdam, Paradiso – 8 July 2024
By this point Jase W is convinced that there’s something in the water (or the beer – Ed) in Australia. The sheer amount of incredible bands that are just on the unusual side of things seem to be popping out of there like hot cakes and the aptly bizarrely named band, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, is another good example. And finally after the rescheduling of the show earlier this year, our European correspondent get to see them at the rather lovely Paradiso venue supported by an equally oddball named band, FEET. It’s all going to be a bit of an odd one tonight by the looks.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Worn Out
There’s definitely nothing #WornOut about Monk’s latest choice cut, as these Irish metallic hardcore exports take us #Deeper into their sonic world of clashing melodies, dissonance and heavy rhythms, all coupled with a scathing vocal delivery reminiscent of the likes of Converge, Cro-Mags and Every Time I Die.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – ZacTheLocust

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Joy Buzzer
Would you be surprised (sic) to learn that Monk’s latest choice of the hottest new sounds around has a close affiliation with a hugely popular international children’s TV series? You would? And would you be mystified by the connection? You would? Well, let me enlighten you… You see, when not writing quirky power pop gems that feature a winning combination of catchy hooks and jet fuel, Joy Buzzer guitarist Jed Becker holds down a day job as composer and music director for the Nick Jr. hits such as ‘Dora The Explorer’ and ‘Go, Diego, Go!’, among many others…But, we’ll not hold that against him, especially when he’s also producing poptastic anthems such as this latest cut’
