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)”!

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

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. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
