All the reviews, all the music, all the formats.
After an excellent 7″ earlier this year, OBN III’S are back with a brand new record on Tic Tac Totally that takes those ideas and throws them on a larger and grandiose scale, containing epic results that none of us could have ever seen coming. Continue reading “OBN III’s – The One and Only”
Batshit noise-punk trio PSYCHIC BLOOD finished the digital version of their upcoming 7″, who together hail from Holyoke, Massachusetts and are now looking for a label to release the material. Continue reading “Psychic Blood – Strain 7″”
Fin Records continues to churn out the goods, this time from WHITING TENNIS who also happens to hail from Seattle much like the rest of the growing Fin Records roster. Continue reading “Whiting Tennis – Every Night I’m Killing 7″”
DIRTY BEACHES (or Alex Zhang Hungtai) just released his first 7″ from the Suicide Squeeze label in Seattle, adding some live material to an extensive discography that only continues to grow. Continue reading “Dirty Beaches – Lone Runner 7″”
Female four-piece Feathers (unintentional alliteration!) hail from my hometown of Brisbane, Australia. Having essentially had three incarnations over their half-decade existence, it has been interesting to witness their evolution. First starting out as a trio, then losing a drummer, picking up a new drummer and a bass-player, the progression of the band is inevitable. Yet as they release new album Hunter’s Moon through ace local label Bon Voyage, Feathers are intent to showcase how far they have come – and as a time capsule highlighting the genesis of the band up to today, the album succeeds admirably.

Hailing from Vancouver comes the four-piece, heavy rocking BUMMER HIGH. This is their second cassette on Green Burrito Records after their debut on Southpaw from last year. Continue reading “Bummer High – Lost Highway CS”
Our Philadelphia friends at Evil Weevil Records had the pleasure of releasing the debut LP from EASTER VOMIT back in September. Their album sees you through a troubling realm of both lo-fi and noisy arrangements, where the rock n’ roll is hidden somewhere in the trenches. Continue reading “Easter Vomit – Vs. the Natural History Museum”
Here’s another from our friends at Windian Records, this time being the latest 7″ from rowdy power-punks MONDO RAY out of Munich, Germany. Continue reading “Mondo Ray – Hypnotized 7″”
FatCat Records’ subsidiary label Palmist Records are hitting home run after home run with their slew of split releases, and their sixth concoction keeps the good times rolling. The two bands in question this time around are LA deviants THE GROWLERS and Leicester, England’s nascent degenerates THEE LUDDS. Continue reading “The Growlers/ Thee Ludds – Palmist Split 12″”
The newest offering from Fin Records of Seattle is another 7″ from THE DIVING BELL, being their second release to date from 2011. It’s not clear at the moment, but these singles are probably leading up to a full length LP at some point. Continue reading “The Diving Bell – China, My China 7″”
