Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends is Conan Neutron, Dale Crover ( Melvins drummer and his solo project) and Tony Ash. The band has been making music since 2015 and released some excellent stuff. 

Now they are back with a new album that is called ‘Dark Passangers’ wich is produced and engineered by Toshi Kasai and will be released on Learning Curve Records in December. The first track ‘The Impossible Task’ was released a while ago and gives us big riffs and strong vocals.

But now it is time for the premiere of the track ‘Dark Passangers’. The epic riff with screeching guitars mixed throughout it makes the moody vocals evens tronger on this track.

Tune in and check out ‘Dark Passengers’ from the upcoming album with the same name.

I’ve got so much to handle and got so much to say

I’ve got so much to do but just want to fade away

All I can do sometimes is look back in shame

These pathetic hustles, these insignificant days

Twenty years and counting, memory fades

Still screaming outside the airlock, still punching in a daze

The weight of this misery, the choices I made.

This life is catching up with me, the darkness invades

Dark passengers

They always take me for a ride

Dark passengers

The ones that dwell on the inside

These hard times try to define me,

Like a picture with no frame

As Joe said: “Relentless uplift”

For most of my days

Like an episode of Black Mirror, this darkness has a name

Following a threadbare string

As I navigate the maze

Like a bounced check for the soul, for suffering and pain

It whispers its poison, it’s always the same.

“Perhaps everyone would be better off, if I just went away.”

Two words, simply stated, the words are: “Not today”

Dark passengers

They always take me for a ride

Dark passengers

The ones that dwell on the inside

Let us take a closer look at this very interesting band. Conan Neutron & The Secret Friends was formed by, who would have thought, Conan Neutron. He formed this band in 2015 with Dale Crover ( Melvins drummer and his solo project) and Tony Ash.

Conan Neutron himself is not really a person that sits still, he has a weekly podcast on Radio Nope called Protonic Reversal that invites guests from the world of noiserock, punk rock, post-punk and experimental genres.

Next to the radio show Conan played such bands like  Replicator, Victory and Associates, Mount Vicious, Household Gods (with David Pajo of Slint and Vern Rumsey of Unwound) and ofcourse he plays in Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends wich I will share music from.

Now The band Conan Neutron & Friends has been making music since 2015 and have released some albums together and recently the Protons and Electrons Compilation. A gatefold double vinyl compilation of all of the Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends singles, and Electrons: A compilation of the various artists that were on the other side of the 7″s.

To start of you can listen to the latest single (not from the new record) called ‘We Were Wolves’ (it is on the Quarantimes Vol 1 NIVA Benefit on Learning Curve Records too,), this is quite a lot of music to work through so in the meantime you can read some questions I  asked Mister Conan.
