Dreaming Of A Holy Name

Ive been a fan of Brooklyn punks Mr Dream ever since hearing their No Girls Allowed EP last year (check out how we championed them here and here). And its been a while coming, but today marks the release of the new LP, Trash Hit (originally titled Never Elaborate), on God Mode Records. The trio have mastered the art of ripping apart a song, flaying it to the bone, offering up the entrails, and making it giddily palatable - all within the space of a couple of minutes. It promises to be all the thrashy goodness these guys have been spitting up since last year, and they arent resting on any sized laurels, doing a few shows supporting Sleigh Bells and CSS around the US, starting at Grasslands in NY this Friday. With this kind of exposure, these boys could be entering everyone's dreams - hopefully without knives for fingers and a thirst for blood...

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
