LISTEN TO “WAITING FOR THE WAR” BY ’80s DANISH PUNK BAND ADS
After the initial blast of punk rock bands made their impression on the youth of the late 1970s, subgenres quickly emerged. Some preferred the faster, louder aggression of hardcore, others the angular danceability of post-punk, some the raw and more personal home-made sound of DIY, and so on. Looking back among and between these genres we now recognize various blends of punk, post-punk, goth rock, industrial, and DIY as “ deathrock.” In 2014, Sacred Bones Records launched the series Killed By Deathrock to document an entire scene of bands that haven’t yet received proper recognition.

Marina Maximilian, ‘My Boy’
Ukraine-born singer, songwriter, and actress Marina Maximilian emigrated to Israel at the age of three. She studied with her mother, a classical pianist, sang in choirs, attended a music conservatory, and by the age of fifteen was performing in front of thousands at the Red Sea Jazz Festival.
Being a star comes with some baggage – like personal managers with high expectations. “That can create artificial pressure when we’re making songs, because everyone expects a hit,” Muskat explains. But the combination of Maximilian’s humility and undeniable talent makes all the tension disappear. “Every time we’re in the studio together, the music always comes out a bit off-center, and everyone starts getting worried,” Muskat laughs. “But the proof is in the end result.”
