BASED ON THE EVIDENCE BY JACK BURTON VS. DAVID LO PAN
This is what going all out sounds like.
Go buy it.
RED MATADOR BY DISGUISED AS BIRDS
Indy noise rock? I don’t know, its good though, and free.Download “We Buy Gold” the newest release by these guys for “name your price” on their bandcamp page.
MOTH EATEN DEER HEAD BY THE LOCUST
1. A 6am show at the Fireside in Chicago with a free sushi bar.
2. The tightest pants 1998 had to offer.
3. Fun as shit.
A DECLARATION OF SORTS BY SMALL BROWN BIKE
When The River Bed originally came out, I thought it was their sort of lame “soft” record. But now compared the 2011 reunion album, Fell & Found, this thing seems like death metal.
God, Fell & Found is bad.
WOLF DIX RD. BY IRON CHIC
New record from what is easily one of my favorite bands of the last few years.
Sad songs about being a fuck-up, feeling like you’re wasting your life, missing people and not giving up, sung like this is the last chance you’ll ever get.
Unfuckwithable.
GROW YOUR SMILE WIDE BY PJ BOND
This sort of sad bastard music was something i was pretty into a few years ago, but that love has faded. I still like it but I don’t really actively seek it out (the last 10+ posts are good evidence of that).
I saw PJ last night, and this song just grabbed me. The line “my hands are well acquainted with my mouth” has been stuck in my head all day.
There are two released versions of this song. The “original” is from an album called “You Didn’t Know I was Alphabetical.” Its the more full band alt-country (his words) version. The second version (what I posted) is from an album called “22, April: Vienna, Austria.” This one is how the song sounds when he tours, just him and a guitar.
Version 1 is alright, but version 2 crushes it.
Listen to the entire album here.
HEATHEN REIGN BY HEATHEN REIGN
Holy shit is this good. Featuring members of: Creepoid, Transistor Transistor, Orchid, Fight Amp, Kill the Man Who Questions, Bucket Full of Teeth, Distress Signal, Wolves, War Emblem, BrainDead.
So good. Go buy it.
NO HOPE BY DEATH ENGINE
I know nothing about this band other than they are French, their newest release, Amen, is killer and that international shipping for a 10" is crazy expensive.
SWORDS BY BLACKLISTERS
I get the distinct feeling that I should not like this band. I can’t really put my finger on why, though. Maybe is the WWE sweatshirt I saw several times while looking for a photo to post or that it looks like they only play giant festivals or empty rooms.
Never the less I keep listening the the album. They crib the Jesus Lizard pretty hard, but there are definitely worse things to steal from.
Incredibly mixed review aside, I really do like the album a fair bit and definitely think its worth checking out.
MOUTHGIFT BY BUILDINGS
Everything this band does is fantastic. I’ve had their full length Melt Cry Sleep on constant rotation since it came out a couple of years ago.
This song is from a split with a band called Hawks , who if the 7" is accurate are probably pretty great too.
