THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #138

Posted on by

With January now underway, this visit to the Singles Bar offers a great and varied selection of new and recent sounds. We’ve got a pair of power pop bangers, the return of some industrial legends, some alternative electronica from a band making their debut in 2026, and more besides. There should be more than enough here to remind people that Real Gone is so much more than “a metal site”, setting us off with best foot forward for the coming year! As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy…

It’s hard to believe that the release of ‘Let Go’ ties in with KMFDM’s 40th anniversary.

REAL GONE GOES OUT: KMFDM – Islington Academy, London 20/04/13

Posted on by

‘Kunst’, the eighteenth studio release from KMFDM, is one of the best of their long career.  On 20th April Real Gone had the opportunity to catch the band during their UK visit to see how well the new material fit in with their live set, when the cult industrialists headlined a four band bill.
