Primitive Programme

Chatting with the former SLC punk duo turned trio.
You may have read about it in one of our most recent issues, but Sculpture Club kicked off a new tour this weekend, with a sendoff show at Diabolical Records on Friday night. Playing with them were our old friends in Chalk, and a somewhat new band: Primitive Programme (the former Josh & Ian, with a new bass player).

The Pipeline: What A Bleak Future For The Technomancer

Gracefully tripping and dazzling in the new indie Action-RPG.
Far too often have I looked at an indie video game and thought to myself, "That looks pretty damn cool, but I don't know if I want to put money down on it yet." Like any piece of media, there's always hesitation as to whether or not you should spend your hard-earned cash on it.
