Joe Sherlock
Oregon-based Joe Sherlock is one of the more distinctive of modern low-budget genre directors- his work blends sci-fi and horror tropes, with wacky and often surreal sensibilities. His films blend in elements of weird humour, repeated in film references, extremely low-grade effects, well-proportioned and tattooed women, oh and mayonnaise. Since the late 1990’s he has helmed twenty-five films, and counting- moving from early SOV videos, onto digital filmed features. I tracked down Joe for an email interview- where we discuss his influences, his films, and the future

Sdug Bsngal
Sdug Bsngal are a Swedish two-piece that offer-up a jarringly and unnervingly mix of elegant piano playing, black metal, ambience, blunt PE/noise elements, and emotional-if-wonky moody music. The pair recently had their self-released debut album reissued by Stockholm-based Ominous Recordings as a C80 – and I think it’s fair to say it’s one of the most bizarre/unbalancing releases I’ve heard in some time – and we get all manner of strange, odd, noisy and wonderful fare through our doors. I track down the project’s two members simply known as R. & J. for an E-mail interview – discussing all that Sdug Bsngal is, their debut album, and the future of the project.
