Music Is My Life

Kate Davies of the genre-blurring UK trio PUPIL SLICER talks new album 'Fleshwork', and goes deep on their experience of being a trans person in the UK, and how this has shaped what the band stands for.

Jona is the guitarist and leader of the Swiss hardcore band COILGUNS. I first met him and most of his bandmates when they were playing for German post-metal collective THE OCEAN back in 2012. The band's latest record 'Odd Love' (released via Jona's prolific DIY label Hummus Records), is a viscerally passionate and elevated experience. Once you're done with this episode I suggest checking out the documentary on its creation:
