When bad things happen but you still manage to be a decent human being
Problemas is a 10-track debut that brings together the raw energy of 2000s emo and punk with elements of alternative rock, indie, and pop. Written and performed in Spanish, it moves between deeply personal experiences and universally relatable struggles, exploring heartbreak, depression, existential uncertainty, and the weight of everyday life. Entirely self-produced, the record captures the contradictions of growing through difficult times, turning emotional turmoil into something tangible.
EP release from 2018
Presenting Loser Rock, the third record from Sydney’s sonic raconteur Jane Dire. When life decides your path, there’s no point fighting, but you can celebrate it. Each song on Loser Rock is an embrace of rough-and-ready stories, from doomed relationships in “Sinking Statues” to thinking life as you know it is over in “DOA”. Produced by Nicholas Hatzakos (Mac the Knife, The Slims), the record sees Jane at his most polished and yet most ferocious, with an absolute commitment to a bare, gnarled and upfront sound. Loser Rock leans into ugliness, and there’s no mistaking whose voice is at its heart.

Ancient rites and local folklore collide where shadows rule the night and the iron tracks yield no escape. From the strict, bloody rules of All Hallows' Eve to the hypnotic scarlet eyes lurking high on the trestle, this two-track dispatch drags the listener headfirst into the terrifying pull of urban legend. 'My Name is Sam' inspired by "Trick 'r Treat". 'The Track to Hell (Goatman)' is inspired by a Louisville area cryptid.
Inspired by Butthole Surfers, sci-fi literature, krautrock, Cows, Nirvana, Melvins, Throbbing Gristle and Chrome, DEAD WARLOCKS step up from the Polish Underground to bring you original music from the mind of Adam Majdecki-Janicki.
Dredged up from the bottom of the local canal. Here is a best / worst of compilation of tracks from the now firmly dead and buried Semi0n. Featuring tracks from compilations, unreleased material as well as some reworks. All for your listening pleasure / discomfort. This collection contains some of the earliest material I worked on with other people A real hotchpot of styles covering Electronica, Industrial, Noise, Dub, Breakbeats and Doom Metal.
Wandering Floodlights is an album about oppositions and friction, with themes like isolation, paranoia, body horror, love and religion all in the mix. I hope it's a poetic listen, but it was definitely a spiritual experience for me to write and sing it. Musically, this album veers in some new directions to my previous. I sample quite a bit of my acoustic guitar and xylophones. Much of the bass is raunchy and filthy and pulled from hard drive dungeons unknown. I hope you enjoy listening and maybe catch a little spark or two in your ears.
Lithium and a Lollipop is my 8th album, recorded deep in the Sonoran Desert. This record is full of wonky, warped samples of a couple of my cheap guitars, a minichord, my voice, and various found instruments (like my metal water bottle). The overall sound is a kind of mutant bluesy electronic rock (light). The songs are autobiographical at their core, but aren't necessarily anchored to some "my reality." As a person who has dealt with mental illness most of my life, it is the liminal spaces between reality, fiction, and spirit that tend to fill my lyrics.
I left with my hands covered in blood.
Our latest single, thank you all for the support! :)

I don’t exactly have a time surplus between work, moving, and a second kid on the way but for some reason I’m obsessed with playing guitar and writing music right now. This is the third album in two years and it’s my favorite one so far.
