Well here it is! Since the release of those two earlier 7″ singles, this thing has been patiently taking it’s time to reveal itself, and now it is upon us. The official release date was just yesterday (the 22nd), so why don’t we check it out? Continue reading “Chain and the Gang – Music’s Not For Everyone”
Mississippi native DEAD GAZE released a new 7″ on Fire Talk records right before the new year, and the music encapsulates a little bit of everything that’s usually bound to catch our ears. Continue reading “Dead Gaze – Take Me Home or I Die Alone 7″”
Here’s something a bit different to kick off the week. If you’ve ever done some crate digging for obscure industrial-pop from the 80’s, then this might be just for you. This brand new LP acts as a compilation, covering only unreleased material from the PSYCLONES. Continue reading “Psyclones – Different Thinking People”
Dating back to 1986, Spacemen 3 released their very first single on Glass Records. Twenty-five years later, Fire Records does these space-rock godheads a huge (and completely necessary) solid by repressing what appears to be a great deal of their discography. Continue reading “Spacemen 3 – Walkin’ with Jesus 12″”
BALKANS are four dudes who hail from the suburbs of Atlanta. These four dudes have been lifelong friends dating back to their days in elementary school, and now many years later they’re releasing their third official 7″ record together, which leads up to a full length due out in May. Continue reading “Balkans – Edita V 7″”
PERSONAL & THE PIZZAS are a four-piece band from Hoboken, NJ playing sleazy garage punk with a raunchy attitude. It’s not exactly clear when this 7″ was released, but it came out sometime in 2010 from the Trouble in Mind label based in Chicago. Continue reading “Personal & the Pizzas – I Want You 7″”
2010 saw the first releases from THE BABIES – two equally awesome and charming 7″ records, both crammed with a near five minutes of sun-shining indie pop and dangerously catchy hooks. Now they’re back once again, only this time with a much-needed full length release. Continue reading “The Babies – The Babies s/t”
This little gem right here saw the light of day just before the new year, just in time for THE YOUNG to take it on their east coast tour. Hailing from Austin, TX, these guys continue on from their debut “Voyagers of Legend” from earlier in 2010. Continue reading “The Young – Sweet 7″”
I don’t exactly like borrowing words, but sometimes it’s all too necessary. Uttered first from the folks at 100% Silk, “Muddy Tracks” is a “stripped down satisfying zombie trance-hop” from start to finish. You can’t really get more straight to the point than that statement with this record in mind. Continue reading “The Deeep – Muddy Tracks 12″”
It’s a damn shame we weren’t aware of this record sooner, because in all seriousness, it probably would have been way high up on our top 25 list at the end of 2010. But anyhow, with this release, HEAVY TIMES continue to serve up their unpredictable take on punk music, but things are a little different this time around. Continue reading “Heavy Times – Dead”
