Song of the Day #4

Evil Weevil Records is a label from Philadelphia that (sadly) more or less just showed up on my radar. Only after picking up their Big Eyes 7″ in a nearby record store (coming soon) and learning through Noah of DOOMSTAR! that this project even existed, you can now say that I am aware.

One of the first things that caught my eye was that strangely colorful cover art of the new COUSIN BRIAN 7″ (which just goes to show that a cover art is crucial). Their new 7″ is four tracks long of dangerously energetic and twisted garage punk, as there’s definitely a noticeable element of weirdness in their sound. But just because they’re a bit eccentric doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing, because clearly that’s not the case. Between the infectious sing-along melodies of “It’s On Me” or the blazing guitar riffage of “Do Stay Over”, Cousin Brian easily fit in here, no questions asked. I think you’ll agree. Follow the link below for a free download of the full 7″, but just make sure to say thanks. I’ve been told these guys were quite the entertaining bunch when it comes to a live show, so don’t miss out if you get the chance.

Estrogen Highs – Cycles EP

ESTROGEN HIGHS are from Connecticut. This is their first release of the new year, coming from the Safety Meeting Records imprint in a limited edition of just 300.

Spider Fever – Whatcha Gonna Do? 7″

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″” →

Two Tears – Eat People 7″

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″” →

Personal & the Pizzas – I Want You 7″

PERSONAL & THE PIZZAS are a four-piece band from Hoboken, NJ playing sleazy garage punk with a raunchy attitude.
