TAG: 2013

From their Facebook about: “Too sexy for shirts. Too sweaty for hugs.”

I equally love and hate the fruit based album art for Unfortunate Hubris, which you can download from the band’s bandcamp page for free. 

Holy shit is this good. Featuring members of: Creepoid, Transistor Transistor, Orchid, Fight Amp, Kill the Man Who Questions, Bucket Full of Teeth, Distress Signal, Wolves,   War Emblem, BrainDead.

So good. Go buy it. 

I think the term “noise-rock” is pretty dumb, but I can’t seem to get enough of it these days. 

This album is pretty great, a little heavy on the song intros, but good.

Go can download the entire album for “Name Your Own Price” from the band’s bandcamp page or buy a vinyl copy. 

I refuse to do anything but love a band that put out  a “record” (flexi postcard) covering Minor Threat’s “Straight Edge” and Black Flag’s “Wasted”. 

Yes.

I know nothing about this band other than they are French, their newest release, Amen, is killer and that international shipping for a 10" is crazy expensive. 

New Whores. I’ve listened to nothing but this single song for the last 30 minutes. 

Go buy it, and while you’re at it buy their last album too. It just got a vinyl repress on clear with gold haze. 

French band comes to New York to record a record and before they can even start, hurricane Sandy destroys the studio. Good people they’ve never met help them out and find a new studio and they record this great record, Idolize. 

The band made a short documentary about the entire trip: recording, hurricane, touring, the whole ordeal. Check it out at Gear Gods. 

New record from what is easily one of my favorite bands of the last few years.

Sad songs about being a fuck-up, feeling like you’re wasting your life, missing people and not giving up, sung like this is the last chance you’ll ever get.

Unfuckwithable.

Everything this band does is fantastic. I’ve had their full length Melt Cry Sleep on constant rotation since it came out a couple of years ago. 

This song is from a split with a band called Hawks , who if the 7" is accurate are probably pretty great too. 

Everytime I think I’ve got a song picked to post, the next song on the album plays and I have to rethink what I’m putting up. The entire album is great. It reminds me a lot of the hardcore/metal of the late 90s/ early 00s. This song is on the fast side, but they have plenty of sludge on the album. Go buy the album, it is fantastic.
