Covering our first release from the Mt. St. Mtn. label, this is THE WHINES first effort since their latest LP “Hell to Play”. Hailing from Portland, OR, this rackety trio is just wrapping up the final dates of their current tour. Continue reading “The Whines – Shootinhead 7″”
Recent inbox-favorites THE HUSSY are about to drop their album “Cement Tomb Mind Control” from the Slow Fizz label out of Chicago, and this raging two piece won’t take no for an answer. Led by Bobby Hussy (the man behind Kind Turkey Records) and Heather Hussy, this is their first full length LP. Continue reading “The Hussy – Cement Tomb Mind Control”
If you remember the SHARP ENDS 7″ we covered a short bit ago, then it shouldn’t be surprising we’re back here with another. Coming from the Mammoth Cave label in 2009, this was one of three singles from Sharp Ends that year. Continue reading “Sharp Ends – Crack Trap 7″”
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″”
HOME BLITZ is the recording project of Daniel DiMaggio, a one man band who plays all the instruments and does all of the recording right out of his home in New Jersey. Almost Ready Records put out this gem last year in April which is a total bummer because it took us this long to find it. Continue reading “Home Blitz – Perpetual Night 7″”
What we have here is a split 7″ featuring TORO Y MOI and CLOUD NOTHINGS, appropriately coming from the Carpark Records label out of Washington D.C. Right now this single proves difficult to get your hands on, because the best I could come up with was an overpriced eBay link. Continue reading “Toro Y Moi/ Cloud Nothings – Split 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″”
