Couch Slut is a band from NYC that has played a strain of druggy, pissed off hardcore noise rock since 2013. Led by Megan Osztrosits’ infernal roar and subversive, vitriolic lyrics, they’ve released three full lengths; My Life As A Woman (2014), Contempt (2017), and Take A Chance On Rock ‘n’ Roll (2020). The band has shared the stage with the likes of Virus, Chat Pile, Wolf Eyes, KEN mode, Krallice, The Body and Melt Banana. 

Described as “filthy noise rock from NYC, not for the faint of heart” and I couldn’t agree more. Couch Slut Lewis is a grimy, gritty venture into musical brutality that tears your face off from the first verse. Slow and deliberate instrumentals are the backbone of this composition, with eviscerating vocal styles providing the face-melt factor throughout. The story-telling subject matter is even heavier and is where the heart of the track really lives.

The American hard rock trio, Inside The Trojan Horse, channels that unfiltered chemistry into their new EP Origins — a collection that captures the fire that set it all off. The first single, “Dogs,” is nothing short of fucking around and finding out. Unrelenting, sharp-edged, and unapologetic, the track sets the tone for what’s to come. The band self-directed the official music video, which premiered Friday, May 23, 2025.

And it already has an absolutely staggering 18K views on Youtube in the few weeks it’s been live! This grimy gritty new release from hard rock band Inside The Trojan Horse, who were fresh on the heels of their release Blood and Teeth when we last heard from them, is a multi-tiered heavy-hitter and an aggressive reminder that this band isn’t messing around. Concise and perfectly formulated, Dogs is overflowing with charisma and fire courtesy of electrifying guitar progressions, pounding drum work, and raucous choruses. Don’t walk – RUN!

Karfagen are a stunning band from Ukraine, the brainchild of  multi-instrumentalist Antony Kalugin. One of the most prolific acts I’ve ever known (21 studio albums during their first 19 years!), they produce mostly instrumental tracks, but this one, coming from their 2026 album “Spektra”, also includes a choir section. As usual for Karfagen, this seven movement suite is simply unpredictable and deliciously varied. Classical music inspires many parts of “Phase 1” and if keyboards prevail all along the track, there is a good choice of instruments , such as violin, acoustic and electric guitars, some unusual percussions and, of course, a vocal trio, singing in latin. 

This is Karfagen’s eighth studio album.

As you can imagine, tempos, moods and  arrangements are in a perpetual change, spanning from atmospheric to rock moments, including some very good guitar and keyboard solos and many lively interplays. Nonetheless, this is not a collection of sparse compositions. On the contary, there is a strong pattern all along the suite and each passage is there for a good musical reason, enriching the previous one and preparing in a way the next one. A beautiful, invigorating experience.

Hi friends.

It’s Michael here.

It’s time for me to say goodbye to Cover Story.

I’m eager to start a new chapter in my life.

Cover Story has grown from a humble blog into something much more, and I couldn’t be prouder.

Looking back, it’s been quite the ride. I’ve had the privilege of meeting fascinating people and creating content that resonated with an audience. But as they say, all good things must come to an end.

To my readers, thank you.

Whether you were there from the start, or joined me along the way, your support has meant the world to me.

Thank you for reading, commenting and for your wonderful feedback.

When I look back at our journey together, I am filled with gratitude for every moment.

To the industry professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with, thank you as well.

Your work and dedication has impressed me from day one. Thank you for believing in my project, the time you’ve spent with me, and the music you’ve shared.

Before I sign off, I want to assure you that this isn’t goodbye forever.  

While Cover Story may be ending, my love for culture remains as strong as ever.

If you ever feel like reminiscing about old times or catching up on new ones, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you. 

I’m on Instagram as michael.hartmanns. Come join me!

Take care, and stay amazing.

Much love, Michael.
