"hell is above"

"passion of lovers"

"not my idea..."

Reccently, I came across the DC-based Record Label Fan Death when I found out that the group Screen Vinyl Image released a 7" on there . There seems to be a little buzz around said label, having/not-having some potential next-big-things on their rooster and whatnot. And of course they're also accused for an arrogant attitude, so people like to talk shit on them over there. Or at least, this is what I think is happening. All in all I don't care that much about it, but I really want to stress out that I think there are actually not that many small "companies" around with this wide range of music styles. When you got the time, check out their MySpace for some good and diverse tunes raging from Psychedelic Rock to Industrial to Shoegaze/Dream Pop.



Here is a song by one-man project Puerto Rico Flowers from Philly. It might be described as New Wave and Post-Punk. I'd say concerning the length of the songs, you might also add a little Swans and other Punk/Industrial bastards to that. Enjoy:
