Frankie says we need an Organ Thing Of The Day, Frankie says relax, these people aren’t relaxed, good, this is no time to relax, there’s things to do, places to be, bands ot shout about, and any band good enough to have Frankie mentioning those glorious Dog Faced Hermans have got to be worthy of our timesd and a Thing of The Day piece:
“Drawing from the diverse musical backgrounds, the band’s sound finds common ground between ’90s post-punk and hardcore pioneers like Drive Like Jehu and Dog Faced Hermans, alongside the abrasive experimentation of contemporary acts such as Death Grips and YHWH Nailgun”
We’ll park the video right here, we’re rather pleased to report they’re playing our local park in a few weeks with those Deftones, Idles and a few more (August 23rd, 2026, All Points East Festival, Victoria Park, East London), they’re also playing the Brixton Windmill on August 26th. Actually we might be based in East London but you’re probably not, you lot are all over the globe, all their forthcoming dates are down there…
Here’s some more while we work up to those dates in London, we’re with Frankie on this one, relax indeed, here’s the press release and the details if you don’t know the band already…
By the Way, you can find Cut Ties on Bandcamp, it is their latest release and I guess a taste of their next album? Although they only just released an album in October 2025…
“Concrete Vehicles (formerly Computer) are a five-piece band from Vancouver that began as a recording project between lifelong friends Hudson Schelesny and Ben Lock, who have been making music together since they were kids growing up in Tsawwassen, BC. As their recordings became increasingly chaotic and nuanced, they outgrew the limitations of a traditional live band, inspiring them to expand the project into a larger ensemble.
Now a five-piece, Concrete Vehicles transforms their songs through a wide palette of instrumentation including saxophone, synthesizers, and percussion. Drawing from the diverse musical backgrounds, the band’s sound finds common ground between ’90s post-punk and hardcore pioneers like Drive Like Jehu and Dog Faced Hermans, alongside the abrasive experimentation of contemporary acts such as Death Grips and YHWH Nailgun. While their influences span countless genres, their creative process is united by a shared pursuit of music that feels immediate, physical, and visceral.
The band recently shared their new single, “Cut Ties”, out now via Dine Alone Records, and have announced a run of UK and European live dates this summer. The tour includes festival appearances at All Points East, Reeperbahn, Leffingeleuren and Platzhirsch, alongside headline shows in London, Southampton, Manchester, Bristol, Coventry, Nottingham, Edinburgh and Gateshead”.
Tsawwassen is a suburban residential community and beach town in Delta, British Columbia, Canada (yes, I had to look it up)
Those dates in full, the first four are in Canada, you can work out the rest I;m sure…

[…] 2: Concrete Vehicles – we did cover the band from Canada known as Concrete Vehicles a few days back, they’ve just released another track, here it is (landed here on the same day as some new Protomartyr as well).

[…] on. Now the records we’ve heard by the now five piece band from Vancouver promised lots, as did the videos they’ve been making, the films we’ve seen made Concrete Vehicles look … as they sound in the studio (check out that excellent Station On The Hill footage we posted on […]
