Crack Mammoth – CRK MMTH

Maybe I’m showing my age but there’s something distinctively 90′s about the Slacker Anthems that Crack Mammoth is cranking out on their debut EP. They’re laid back until they’re not. They largely laid back and gently rolling along until they’re not; exploding into big crunchy guitars and call-and-response guitar tension. It works for them quite […]

RW Smith – Nashville Strychnine Demos

The self-inflicted mood board of words that describe these demos consist of “wurlitzer, canned soup, fleas, expired IDs, pawn shop mics, bob dylan and the decline of western civilization.” What more do you need?

by ever – but i am

I’ll be honest, 99% of the time if I encounter a collection of bedroom recordings featuring a reverby guitar and a solo voice I steer away pretty quickly but there’s something about the delivery of by ever that grabbed me. Maybe it will for you too.

Financier / Sugar Sk*-*lls Split

The second release from Transmission Control features new songs from Financier and Sugar Sk*-*lls – a worthwhile pairing of artists. Both tracks are atmospheric electronic undertakings that conjure dark, quiet places.

Third Man to release Coupler Blue Room Session Head over to the Third Man site to pre-order the first release from their new Blue Room Sessions series, featuring Coupler. In their own words, it is “a very special piece exploring the nether-regions where the organic collides with the electronic. “ You can preview the recording here.

Anchor Thieves – “Isn’t Anything”

Very happy to debut the official video for “Isn’t Anything”, a personal favorite track from Anchor Thieves latest full-length, Monolith. The video compiles a series of timelapse videos depicting a day-in-the-life of the band; coffee, drive, work, wait for night, drive, play rock music.  It may not sound like much of anything but I think that’s exactly the […]

Tower Defense “Glyphs”

Great new video from Tower Defense for “Glyphs” – off of their Stay Inside EP. It’s a lyric video with a twist. That twist is the potentially incoherent babblings of a band gone mad. Or maybe just some hilarious filler text. You decide. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Husband Stitch – Self-Titled

Two things of note from the debut Husband Stitch EP:1) I did not know the term “husband stitch” prior to encountering this band name and have plenty of weird feels about it.2) These six songs are a bombastic onslaught of guitar and energy. 

The By Gods “Cactus” (Pixies)

Take a moment out of your busy day to listen to The By Gods cover The Pixies “Cactus” (from Surfer Rosa). I won’t lie, I’d enjoy an entire set of Pixies covers from these guys. Also, go listen to their new EP – Phone Calls. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
