With a wall of distorted guitars and a sparse floor tom beat and the lofi vocals its Garage &#8216;Rock goodness a plenty and just what I wanted to be hearing from mr D4 and place to bury stranger guy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as the In The Red Versions of the LP (Black\/Red\u00a0\u00a0Splatter) there are very limited numbers of a LEVITATION and FUZZ CLUB RECORDS \u201cShockwave\u201d splatter version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunadon leans on garage rock, punk and some power pop for good measure he doesn&#8217;t venture out of his comfort zone but his comfort zone has and is on the fringe of those genres and its a style he absolutely pulls off. In fact the openning single and lead track reminds me of The Boys in the melody and delivery of the vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Secrets - Dion Lunadon\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y0k_1kQm0JY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of wrestling feedback on the guitars as &#8216;Nikki&#8217; unfolds It is sparse and sounds like it was conceived in an underground tunnel with a solid consistent beat. That cold detatched feel continues on &#8216;Diamond Sea&#8217; as Lunadon lets his vocals walk all over the song from screams to howls to melodic proper singing its all in here like a Bowie sketchbook thats been uncovered and I do like that piano thats holding it together whils tth eguitars are wrangled with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;I Walk Away&#8217; is a bruising affair coming on like  a distant cousin to fuck up Jon Spenser and Gallon Drunk chaotic and beautiful all at the same time. Its pretty much the MO of &#8216;Systems Edge&#8217; as it lurches from raw to eve rawer material.  Its a real attack on the senses as one track smashes into the next and so on it goes.  &#8216;Shcokwave&#8217; is like a feral Jesus and Mary Chain cut from the 80s heyday and then &#8216;Grind ME Down&#8217; staggers in like the fucked up son of the Stooges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;I Don&#8217;t Mind&#8217; is like a twisted pop song that has been out all night on a bender of Ket and cheap wine. The chorus is burrowed deep into my ear and I can&#8217;t shake it off I find myself singing the words I Don&#8217;t Mind over and over and tempted to march like Jagger as the song plays in my head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album then plays out via the sub eight minutes of &#8216;Room With No View&#8217; and gone are the areratifs of the sub one minute songs or the two minute balsts of sonic ice and the fucked up trip of &#8216;Room&#8217; as the guitars are put through the ringer and get absolutely rinsed fo rthe next seven minutes its the sound of the road to hell being trodden without a care in the world as Lunadon takes this impressive record home. I like it a lot and I knew that would be the case.  I&#8217;ll venture in sparingly and I know it will drag me in much like when I get  anew Dead Moon record and f this is half as good then its a winner all the way. Join me and get fucked by the sonic head fuck that is &#8216;Systems Edge&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LEVITATION ORDER&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/levitation.fm\/products\/dion-lunadon-systems-edge-levitation-edition-pre-order\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FUZZ CLUB RECORDS ORDER&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/fuzzclub.com\/products\/dion-lunadon-systems-edge-fuzz-club-edition\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl6.com\/41a5eqjsyhanaewjymanabqwaram\/click.php\">Linktree<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl6.com\/36520qjsywaoaewjymadabqwaram\/click.php\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/3Yq96rO8HFxStwl8wGRp3c?si=1jP7rsviSPW3ePEPR-GiDA\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ymlpcl6.com\/56b89qjsyqaaaewjymarabqwazam\/click.php\" target=\"_blank\">In The Red<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOV 28th &#8211; Hanover DE, Lux<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOV 29th &#8211; Copenhagen DK, Beta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOV 30th &#8211; Berlin DE, Urban Spree<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEC 1st &#8211; Saarbrucken DE, Horst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEC 2nd &#8211; Winterthur CH, Gaswerk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEC 3rd &#8211; Bern CH, Hush Hush<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALBUM RELEASE SHOW:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DEC 7th &#8211; Queens NY, TV Eye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dion is quite the Prolific musician this past few years with albums and tours a plenty and this new release for 2023 is ten tracks of Garage Punk rock goodness. from the opening lo-fi smash n grab of &#8216;Secrets&#8217; its off to the best possible start.
