TFN Interview with TFS Gareth Liddiard

Posted By Christopher Tahy on Dec 21, 2018

If you haven’t heard the name yet, Australia’s Tropical Fuck Storm, is a band you’re going to be hearing a lot more about. Releasing their debut, A Laughing Death In Meatspace on Joyful Noise Recordings this year. The debut reflects the state of the world through a funhouse mirror.

Posted By Scot Lade on Dec 20, 2018

Honorable Mention Albums 2018

Posted By Fire Note Staff on Dec 6, 2018

The simple fact is that TFN receives hundreds of albums every year for review. In regards to our annual best of list -The Blazing Top 50, TFN follows the rule that for an album to make the Top 50 we had to review it. With a very small writing group there is never any way to cover every record that is worthy of mention at the end of the year so here are 5 albums that are worth checking out even though we didn’t review them.
