Although they would probably shun the comment, HIGH TENSION WIRES essentially are a super group. Or, a group of highly talented musicians with a like-minded punk attitude who just happen to hail from a similar geographic location. Continue reading “High Tension Wires – Welcome New Machine”
As always, Hozac Records is churning out the goods. This brand new SPIDER FEVER 7″ is certainly no exception, and it’s a hell of a debut from these raw and rowdy Cali-punks who just don’t seem to care. Continue reading “Spider Fever – Whatcha Gonna Do? 7″”
Everybody’s favorite half-German, half-American band TEENAGE PANZERKORPS (DER TPK) are back once again, this time with a brand new 7″ from Release the Bats. Don’t get your hopes up too soon though, because the obscure pressing of 116 copies is already sold the-fuck out. Continue reading “Teenage Panzerkorps – Thee Incantations of Bunker Wolf 7″”
Just released from the Rough Trade label is the second official single from “The Fool” by WARPAINT. This time around the single is “Shadows”, while the first time it was “Undertow”. Both are songs from their 2010 effort “The Fool”, and both are featured on this 12″ we have here today. Continue reading “Warpaint – Shadows 12″”
It’s been awhile since we heard from the folks at Kind Turkey Records, but that probably means they’re just cooking up something new for us, right? Correct! This time we’ve got a new 7″ from TWO TEARS. Continue reading “Two Tears – Eat People 7″”
Here’s a little something I would have loved to get my hands on sooner. It’s the debut release from Nashville natives HEAVY CREAM, coming from the Infinity Cat label, and they’re making quite a statement. Continue reading “Heavy Cream – Danny”
Philadelphia’s constant hitmaker KURT VILE has another batch of hits ready for the world, and it’s due out on March 8th via Matador Records. We figured we might as well get on this one early before everybody else does, so here goes nothin’. Continue reading “Kurt Vile – Smoke Ring For My Halo”
Today we’ve got the second official release from dark-rockers BROTHER GRUESOME, and they’ve broadened their sound a bit for this single. Instead of remaining quiet and hidden in the shadows, they went a bit further and decided to kick up the intensity. This is a much-welcomed decision. Continue reading “Brother Gruesome – Morphine Makes You Comfortable 7″”
Who?: Lower Dens
Where?: The Ox in Philadelphia, PA
When?: February 24th, 2011
Lower Dens were in town last night and we were there to capture some of the action live on camera. At first I was a little upset because the footage appeared to be ruined after the import process, but all is well now. (Note to self: turn OFF the video preview while importing). So after a second and much more careful video import, I now have these videos to share with you folks. Lower Dens put on a grand display of their unique “haze” rock, with all of it’s swirling guitars and crushing rhythms. They played songs from their 2010 album “Twin-Hand Movement”, as well as their brand new single, along with the B-side “Dear Betty Baby” which I regretfully did not catch on video. Continue reading “Lower Dens Live in Philadelphia (02/24/11)”
