Times New Viking, leaders of the newest made-up genre, shit-gaze, will be paying tribute tomorrow (Saturday) to one of the genre's pioneers, The Velvet Undground. Most people may not think of the Velvet Underground as a shit-gaze band, but their first two records, along with maybe records by the Godz, were among the most poorly-recorded records of the '60s. Why? Because you had people like Lou ...

It's hard to believe that Columbus, OH garage rockers (and our favorite band named after a font) Times New Viking have managed to make a career out of making ultra-lo-fi noise recordings. But the band have built up a sizable following and are braced to unleash their fourth full length album, Born Again Revisited, on September 22nd.Don't expect many new tricks out of the trio, this album is

Dear Times New Viking,Your album is depressingly shit. I am actually angry at the people who told me I should listen to it, sad for not trusting in Record Store Girl when she said it was awful, and hoping that there's at least a bit of redemption to be found in your first two albums.I'm normally a bit less blunt about music I don't like, but the thing that pisses me off isn't that the music is ...

Appraising performers according to whether they yield stylistically divergent albums (Ween) or increasingly multiform variations on a unifying theme (Ratatat) might be restricting the music to a false dichotomy, but Times New Viking practice a caustically opaque aesthetic with deliberate...

So much for setting off a doomsday device on indie rock. After my interview with Jared Phillips, I was immediately reminded of Chuck Klosterman's essay in Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs about the utter detachment of the music press from actual musicians themselves. Jared was quick to shoot down my suggestions of an indie rock revolution, but not without throwing in a few jabs at the current establi...

Earlier last month we got the first listen to the teeth-rattling first single, “No Time No Hope”, from the forthcoming Times New Viking album, Born Again Revisited. Now that release day is fast approaching (September 22, Matador Records), the band and label have seen fit to drop a second sneak peak - the equally scuzzed-out power-punk of “Move To California”. I don’t know what this means
