The Über Rock Singles Club – Helloween Havok
Well, it’s only a few days until our favourite night of the year – even though we’ve already attended our first fancy dress ball of the season – and so we’re throwing open the doors for this special edition of the Singles Club featuring some of the spookiest and, it has to be admitted, loosely Halloween-themed tunes that have been bothering our death decks in the lead up to All Soul’s Eve… so, let’s dive into the big gooey cauldron of rock ‘n’ roll fangtasticness, shall we? OK, if you insist…

The Über Rock Singles Club – Awesome August (Part Two)
The summer may be dragging what’s left of its sorry ass to its inevitable conclusion, with the sun cream left to rot on the shelf for another year, but the temperature inside the Singles Club has always been HOT, as our latest opening proves with another batch of the catchiest earworms and hardest hitting ‘bangers to have come our way over the past couple of weeks… so, let’s stick the needle in thon there grooves and get on with the musical action, shall we?

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – downcast
‘Way back in the day, my predecessors at the towering sonic inferno that is ÜRHQ produced a range of merchandise that ironically declared “Über Rock Hates Your Band”. Somewhere in their wardrobe, one of the members of this Bristol-based quartet may well possess one of those iconic (and now much coveted) baseball caps and taken it as an influence for the equally ironic title of this, the second track in succession from their upcoming Wayne and Garth inflected new EP to blast straight to the top of our #SinglesClub playlist:

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.
