YANG Jing was born in China at a time when the so-called Cultural Revolution, which lasted from 1966 to 1976, had a major impact on her childhood. This wiped out all traditional, bourgeois culture to an extent that we can hardly believe even today. Mao's wife Jiang Qing postulated that only proletarian art and literature was acceptable, which for her only really began in 1963, with everything created before that being regarded as reprehensible and decadent. As one of the four leading figures of the Cultural Revolution, which was later dubbed the Gang of Four, she was largely responsible for the attempt to erase China's cultural heritage. Only so-called model plays, six Peking operas and two ballets, newly written for the purpose of public education, were permitted.

"Freaky Styley" is the band’s straight-funk sophomore effort.

On their 5th studio album, Connection, Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog have pushed their long-brewing tension between traditional pop songcraft and avantgarde improvisational music to the breaking point, bridging their customary genre-agnostic approach with elements of glam boogie, minimalist disco, psychedelic boogaloo, garage-punk-against-the-machine agitprop, and so much more.

Stemming from a previous project called The Revenants, The Gilded Gutter is the musical partnership of Johnny Gibson and Steve Milligan in primary collaboration with Carmen O’Brien (violin) and Andy Papadopoulos (bass).

Maximum Joy are a post-punk band from Bristol, England, formed in 1981 and reunited in 2015. Pitchfork compared their sound to "one of the Slits backed by the Gang of Four, while PopMatters said, "Musically, the group’s use of complex percussion, horns, danceable bass lines, and overtly English female vocals built a bridge between the worlds of Afrobeat, reggae, avant-garde jazz, funk and pop". “I Can't Stand It Here On Quiet Nights” is centred around the trio of singles the band released on Dick O’Dell’s Y Records between 1981-1982.
