New Music From The Inbox: Terrorista, Spider Bags, Bryan Ferry, Geppetto & The Whales, Valery Gore
By: Juliette Jagger
Artist: Terrorista “Darren VS. Bag”
Album: Purple Tape
This is the debut offering from Toronto duo Terrorista and I’m definitely diggin’ these guys. There’s something scrappy and raw about this track. Vocally it has the bite of an Against Me! song but there is also something downhearted about it that brings to mind early 2000’s stuff like Mae.

Oh, and the album may also feature guest spots from the likes of Johnny Marr, Nile Rodgers and Marcus Miller as well as Flea, Ronnie Spector, Mark Knopfler and Maceo Parker.

Album: 1814/Heads
As the debut single from Belgium’s Geppetto & The Whales, “1814” is a surprisingly poignant and weighty love story set against the backdrop of 19th century, war-torn Europe. Based upon a 200-year-old diary written by a man who once lived in the band’s native village, the story recounts his capture and eventual escape from Russian command, as well as his 7000-mile foot journey home.
