Available for free download: Bellhead’s track ‘Fire Control (Ordinary Mammal Remix)’ (Face The Beat: Session 5 profile series)

The 9th track on our free (or pay-what-you-want to support our charity work) download compilation “Face The Beat: Session 5” is by Bellhead, a male-female industrial duo from Chicago band.
The setup of Bellhead consists of 2 basses and a drum machine, no Guitar, no bullshit and they describe themselves as a modern rock / industrial / punk duo. Behind it we find two Chicago scene veterans who have left their mark across the tattered live music scene:
- High Bass / Vocalist Ivan Russia – formerly of the infamous Ahab Rex, MR RUSSIA, Pigface, and Sheriff Scabs.
- Low Bass / Vocalist Karen Righeimer – who has been featured as a current or former member of diverse bands such as Fashion Bomb, Team Cybergeist, W.O.R.M, Now I’m Nothing, mindfluxfuneral, Bethany Thomas, and am.psych.
You can find out more on the band via their Instagram and Facebook accounts. Here’s the track they offered for our charity compilation: “Fire Control (Ordinary Mammal Remix)”!

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
