Posts about specific people within the underground music scene - band members’ blogs, playlists, interviews, and interesting trivia.
Check out the Fear Falls Burning Blog for an interesting glimpse into Fear Falls Burning’s activities and inspirations. Posts cover everything from recording and tour experiences to playlists and musical purchases, which I find particularly interesting. He also occasionally discusses his drone techniques and various approaches to sound which he finds interesting.
ISIS apparently has no shortage of graphic designers happy to supply them with t-shirt, poster, and album cover designs. Artist Seldon Hunt has become fairly well known due to his work for ISIS as well as several other bands on Hydra Head and Neurot, such as Red Sparowes, Tusk, and Pelican. Seldon Hunt’s website catalogs most of his work, plus offers a few prints for sale, including a few ISIS tour posters.
When he’s not buy running Hydra Head Records or working on ISIS or his other musical projects, frontman Aaron Turner apparently also dabbles in graphic design. According to a recent interview, he handles the art direction at Hydra Head, and designs some of the layouts and cover art on his own. He’s started a blog to showcase some of his work, and plans to open a full-fledged website in the near future. Check out Feral Pig - The Aural and Visual Art of Aaron Turner.
