When they describe the music of RABBLE RABBLE as “scorching,” you better not take it for granted, because before you know it you will be face down in the dirt wondering what just the hell just hit you. Continue reading “Rabble Rabble – Why Not 7″”

Bare Wires – Don’t Ever Change 7″
This is our first meeting with Oakland’s own BARE WIRES. Coming from the Robot Elephant Records label out of the UK, this looks to be at least their fourth 7″ to date, while also releasing two full lengths since 2009. Continue reading “Bare Wires – Don’t Ever Change 7″”
The People’s Temple – Sons of Stone
THE PEOPLE’S TEMPLE hail from Lansing, Michigan and they just dropped their debut LP from the Hozac label. Following up a string of rad singles from the likes of Certified PR and the pleasantly titled Milk n Herpes, these bros get the record they’ve certainly earned. Continue reading “The People’s Temple – Sons of Stone”
Acid Baby Jesus – Hospitals 7″
Hailing all the way from Greece is ACID BABY JESUS, whose 7″ was the first release from Slovenly Recordings to kick off 2011. It’s not entirely clear what else these guys have out there for our consumption, but for now this was a hell of an introduction. Continue reading “Acid Baby Jesus – Hospitals 7″”
Wet Hair – Radiant Lines 7″
Here we’ve got a 7″ featuring two new WET HAIR jams from this odd Iowa City duo. Not Not Fun describes this as “A nice warm-up for their upcoming De Stijl full-length and U.S. summer tour with Rene Hell,” so let’s get to it. Continue reading “Wet Hair – Radiant Lines 7″”
Home Blitz – Perpetual Night 7″
HOME BLITZ is the recording project of Daniel DiMaggio, a one man band who plays all the instruments and does all of the recording right out of his home in New Jersey. Almost Ready Records put out this gem last year in April which is a total bummer because it took us this long to find it. Continue reading “Home Blitz – Perpetual Night 7″”
Toro Y Moi/ Cloud Nothings – Split 7″
What we have here is a split 7″ featuring TORO Y MOI and CLOUD NOTHINGS, appropriately coming from the Carpark Records label out of Washington D.C. Right now this single proves difficult to get your hands on, because the best I could come up with was an overpriced eBay link. Continue reading “Toro Y Moi/ Cloud Nothings – Split 7″”
Brainstorm – Flat Earth EP
Portland duo BRAINSTORM are back in 2011 with a brand new digital EP, sticking to a wide variety of influences and ethnic sounds through their captivating and high-energy approach. Continue reading “Brainstorm – Flat Earth EP”
Religious Knives – Smokescreen
RELIGIOUS KNIVES are back with a brand new full length on Sacred Bones, their last coming from the Ecstatic Peace label back in 2008. That being said, it’s been awhile since these Brooklyn natives were back in the spotlight. Continue reading “Religious Knives – Smokescreen”
Wax Idols – All Too Human 7″
The Hozac description was right – you can feel it in the welcoming hook that opens this 7″. Whether it’s those pulsing drums or the screeching guitar, Hether Fedewa and her WAX IDOLS made quite a convincing vinyl debut for us here. Continue reading “Wax Idols – All Too Human 7″”
