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″”
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″”
For those of you who never had the chance to cop this back in 2009, today is your lucky day. Mammoth Cave so appropriately reissued the very first SHARP ENDS 7″, perhaps being the most consistent 7″ we’ve covered here since day one. Continue reading “Sharp Ends – Broadview Pressure Test 7″”
TIMES NEW VIKING released their fifth official full length album, but it’s their first to come from the Merge Records imprint. The others came from the likes of Matador and Siltbreeze, so releasing on Merge was a progressive step forward for these Columbus, Ohio natives. To some people on the outside looking in, Times New Viking might come off as just another one of those noisy, headache inducing bands with excessive lo-fi crunch who seemingly have more music than they know what to do with. This post is here to prove they’re far from that, and this song below goes a long way to illustrate what we’re trying to convey. “Fuck Her Tears” is an ecstatically gritty pop nugget overflowing with positive vibes and feelings of retribution, with jubilant guitar hooks and a vigorous rhythm section. This is one of those songs interspersed throughout the tracklist that’s highly deserving of multiple plays, which should become obvious quickly after listening to it below.

You ever listen to something once, not think much of it, then give it another go and it’s a whole different story? Can anybody explain why that happens? Maybe it did with this new SHRAPNELLES 7″, but then it’s like “Of course Hozac wouldn’t let me down.” Continue reading “The Shrapnelles – Asscalibur 7″”
For those of you who recall the BALKANS 7″, now they’ve taken it to a whole new level. Their self-titled full length is due out May 10th from Double Phantom Records, but we’re here to give you a preview before it’s officially unleashed. Continue reading “Balkans – Balkans”
Philadelphia’s own MOON WOMEN have been quite active these days, most recently releasing this debut 7″ we have here today. Last we heard was a live EP recorded at WXPN studios here in Philly, so let’s see what they’ve got for us this time around. Continue reading “Moon Women – Light Moves Slowly 7″”
THE PAPERHEAD just released their debut album from the Trouble in Mind label, capturing a seemingly lost psychedelic sound of the 60’s and 70’s. They take on a scarily authentic approach, which only becomes more perplexing after learning it’s done by three eighteen year old dudes from Nashville. Continue reading “The Paperhead – The Paperhead”
MING DONKEY ONE MAN BAND is pretty much just how it sounds – a one man band from Mississippi. Other than that, there’s really not much other information out there to be found. Hopefully we can attempt to change that with this post. Continue reading “Ming Donkey One Man Band – Georgia Line 7″”
What we have here is a brand new and totally under-announced EP from our favorite Chicago bros HEAVY TIMES. This is one of those things that drops way too silently and it makes you wonder why they wouldn’t put it out there more. I guess that’s because of blogs like this. Continue reading “Heavy Times – Too Many Dreamers EP”
