Indie Animals

On this blog, we want to write a feature about bands/ artists which have been influenced by The Sound of Animals Fighting. What we want, are bands or artists post the genesis of TSoAF, so anything after 2004. What we don't want are bands or artists which are affiliated with them, we know who they are!

So, if you know or are a part of a band/ artist who have clear influences with TSoAF, then please make it known. You can see this as a chance for promotional purposes, plus, we would like to hear you too! It's more than likely that you will be featured.

Please comment in the comments box.

MDB Records - Twitter

Mash Down Babylon Records, a record label started by Matt Embree (The Walrus) – have recently created a Twitter page.
With the impending release of a Biceratops LP – which could very well be another arm to MDB Records – we should be prepared for a lot of exciting news.

I am following it, are you? - MDB Records • Twitter.

The Honey Ditch

I feel one man deserves an honourable mention on this blog.
That man is Chris Haynie. He is the writer who wrote the companion story for 'Lover, The Lord Has Left Us' – 'The Sound of Animals Fighting'
I have wanted to feature this gentleman for some time. I have been in limbo about reviewing his first novel, 'The Honey Ditch'. My uncertainty for reviewing it, does not stem from it being a bad book.
On the contrary, it is brilliant.
It stems from my lack of enthusiasm for reviews. Someone creates something from their love of art, and you shun that creativity by putting the ideas into a worded box. I will have a biased opinion. Therefore, any attempts at reviewing are redundant.

In 2002, Haynie was published in a book, edited by Richard Balling, called 'Revolution On Canvas'

In this interview with Under The Gun, Haynie discusses 'The Sound of Animals Fighting', His first novel and future aspirations.

Chris Haynie is currently writing a series of short stories called 'Cities'
