HOW "DEAD WEIGHT FALLS AND IT SETS YOU FREE"

Q: I had been out of work in my industry since Feb 2020. I spent the entire time sending out resumes to countless job postings. I would often send my resume out to 200+ job listings and not even receive a single interview. During the entire period, I probably had 3-4 real legitimate interviews. In one of them the guy interviewing me was some schmuck who I replaced in a prior job that I was eventually let go from due to internal politics and bullshit outside of my abilities. So this guy basically already had a bad opinion about me, and I knew I wasn't going to get that job.  I've felt essentially blacklisted from my industry despite the fact that I never once got written up or reprimanded in my previous position at Apple. However, when I applied to go back, I was not re-hired. It pissed me the fuck off because I had recruited a guy from my master's program out of the kindness of my heart to help someone else out, and all he did was bring negative stories about me and gossip ...

"Gelled Water" by Droïd Fantôm | Post-Punk / Shoegaze | Paris, France

Droïd Fantôm recently joined the Pop Punk Radio rotation with a handful of songs including their single "Gelled Water" 

*Droïd Fantôm are brought to us in collaboration with KROD Records! An independent punk rock & alternative record label from Germany! Many of their artist's music on vinyl (and other formats) can be purchased here: link

From the artist's Spotify: 

"Droïd Fantôm is Mickaël Montaroux' (Singer/Guitarist of Flèche) solo project. After Flèche went on hiatus following their last album, Mickael wrote a lot of songs and decided to go alone and start his own personal music project. To have more power on the album, Loïc Salmon (Drummer of Flèche) helped him with the drums in the studio.

Emptiness Takes Time is Droïd Fantöm's first album. An attempt of musical independence, to put together what he had in mind without compromise.This album was composed and recorded at home all alone except for the drums and some overdubs with Alexandre Mazarguil at UFO Studio. This LP is clearly influenced by the 90 indie scene from grunge, punk and shoegaze with an emo touch : clear versus vs. heavy chorus and surprising breaks…. With a lot of fuzz (never enough fuzz on chorus…)! It’s simple, direct and sincere. The mastering was done by Thibauld Chaumont at Deviant LAB."
