It's the most ambitious TestosterTunes release to date: a 3-song, double-LP by the three men of Philadelphia's BIRDS OF MAYA. It's called Ready To Howl and it's the soundtrack to an upcoming feature length film of the same name. Formed in 2002, Birds of Maya is the finest meat n potatoes neanderthal rock group operating today, and they're undoubtedly the outfit most committed to creating throbbing, thoroughly relentless, blues-based hard rock. Astute listeners will note nods to the fried power-rock of Split-era Groundhogs or the relentless garage mayhem of High Rise recorded under claustrophobic sub-Funhouse decadence. Anyone with ears will hear fried-Hendrixisms all over this thing."

Formed in 1977 by a cross-section of childhood friends and misfits, the Pirates culled inspiration from The Stooges, MC5, and the New York Dolls, as well as 60's garage and the Mothers Of Invention. Quirky and fearless, these guys made it up as they went along, quickly becoming Chicago’s go-to opening band for the Ramones (five times), the Undertones, and the Pretenders. True to punk credo, they lived hard and played harder, and within a few short years the rot set in and the group disbanded. Yet despite their influence in and on the Chicago punk scene, the legendary Midwestern pioneers of punk never managed to release an album until now. A new recording of "Berlin" proves that even three decades later, they can still rock the fuck out." On Factory 25.

DA, while influenced by psych, punk and noise, created a body of work startling in its depth and originality. The inventive rhythms of original drummer Dawn Fisher and the muscular backbeats of her successor, Robert Furem layed a propulsive framework for the intertwined guitar work of Gaylene Goudreau and David Thomas. The angular fluidity of their interplay became the perfect backdrop for singer and bassist Lorna Donley's introspective lyricis and expressive voice. Personal and obsessive, strange yet familiar, the music of DA is ripe for re-discover" On Factory 25.

Comprised of home recordings from the previous several years, most of the songs are acoustically based and rife with personal atmosphere, and survey a complete spectrum between folk and pop. The songs are anchored by Bill's versatile voice, often in harmony with himself, as well as his high-level songcraft and deft though spare arrangements. There are also four dynamite electric tracks with Bill's short-lived early 90s group, The Radio Flyers. 23 songs in all - this edition compiles both previous releases of the album, which had varying tracklists, along with the beautiful 1995 Scat 45, "Bird of the World" b/w "I May Never Know."

" The third track Still Night is a real winner too, one of the most down of their downer hits. This EP won't disappoints those into their album "Loneliness Is A Dirty Mattress" from last year.

Easy...they become nice. In the decade we've known Tim Vulgar he's responsible for a large chunk of our favorite music. "I'm a Nice Guy Now" is an all-out killer.

They do it with violence, piss, life, bleakness and primitivism. And they do it well. Led by agitated frontman Tobias Rochman (formerly of Be Bad) and featuring free jazz sax player Cabral Jacobs, this 5 song EP captures that primal four-on-the-floor frenzy epitomized by proto-punk outfits like the Stooges, MC5, Electric Eels, and early Velvet Underground, bands that lit the spark for the initial punk movement. Grand Trine have been riding a hot streak that shows no sign of letting up. This 12" is easily the next best thing to watching these guys bleed it out in some sweaty Montreal loft.

Though their roots are the Tucson, Arizona garage punk scene (home of the Fells!), LF Restaurant (AKA Acapulco Rodriguez) and Keith Restaurant (ne Redgerson) started the band long distance, from posts in Albany, New York and rural Connecticut. With Keith’s 11 year old Garfield-loving brother on drums, they threw song ideas over the phone and would play impromptu shows - often without rehearsing - including one via conference call. (When playing over 21 venues the Restaurants recruited Bunnybrains genius Malcolm Tent to play drums.) Of course, the sound was pure chaos, but over time and with infusions of American underground sounds like Beefheart, the Sun City Girls, and various Euro art pranksters the Restaurants started to find themselves. A name change to The North American Free Jazz Agreement lead to a Euro tour and an opening slot for Arthur Doyle. And it should probably be expected that the next step for our Restaurants was to reemerge as “a grotesque, sexually inappropriate Doors cover band.” Come 2010 and the Chinese Restaurants are finally committing themselves to vinyl. With the help of sonic saboteur Mattin (Billy Bao, Josetxo Grieta, NMM), the Restaurants created “River of Shit”, an underground state of the state of the nation of sorts. A deft commentary on the Age of Obama or just another smart ass prank, we don’t know, but it sounds good. And the flip of “Work is a Drag” and “Queen of the Skanks” is a skanking sludge fest that would do both Flipper and No Trend proud. S.S. is very happy to say that we served the first helping of Chinese Restaurants."

Not the Nothing People. Since their first e.p. was released on S.S some four years ago, every subsequent Nothing People/S.S. release has gotten better and better. Soft Crash is no exception. And like the jump between their first album (Anonymous) and their second (Late Night), Soft Crash both expands and secures the Nothing People’s sound. A proto-punk pulse mixes with a dark synth throb for something that sounds both of yesterday and tomorrow or in the words of Z Gun’s Ryan Wells, “These guys are science fiction!” Sci fi? As in Chrome, Von Lmo, and Simply Saucer? “'natch.” And the man is right. However, unlike the ton of bands who get rifled in with classic underground names and cannot deliver, the Nothing People do their comrades justice. Last year’s Late Night LP made a ton of year end “Best Of” lists. The year before Anonymous hit a bunch of “Best Of”s.

Ty and Mikal balance perfectly between Soprano and Baritone vocals, making for an outstanding listening experience. The B-side is a single 10 minute Beatles-esque medley that starts off weird, gets mellow and folky, then explodes into a Ventures-induced headache of smashed drums and wildly vibrant surf guitars.

With an immediate slop/savant aesthetic that conjures a drooling, drugged-out, and agitated ball of putrescence, Mess Folk keep their blurry message straight to the point and deliver three devastating punk cuts simmering in anxiety, depression, and the delusional inner turmoil that sets in after months of cabin fever. The deranged, discombobulated vocals go so perfectly with the frantic razored guitar slashings and choppy songwriting that eeks out resemblances of discarded Electric Eels and Urinals ruination/infatuation, radiating with a sticky familiarity you just can't quite put your finger on. Anyway you cut it, Mess Folk have arrived and it's gonna take a hell of a lot of zit cream and/or stain remover to eradicate their slimy presence from the ugly face of modern punk."

Rather than run down the list of their various past projects, it's best to take Mickey for exactly what they've become: a top-notch gutter-level glitter punk band that runs circles around everyone else, both live and now on record. What makes them special are the combined forces of experienced and inexperienced nuances that really shine on their recordings and will soon show the world how their now signature brand of glammed-up/dumbed-down shambolic pop music can hold up incredibly well under any circumstances. Everything from the unexpectedly touching T.Rex-style backup vocals on the show-stopping, "She's So Crazy" to the heart-felt and brazenly-delivered innocence they muster up on the already-classic "I Am Your Trash," Mickey are quickly becoming Chicago's most notorious and best-loved band and we couldn't be more excited to offer their debut single for your adoring eardrums."

As each song contained within offers up a thundering blast of icy guitars and pulse-pounding rhythms, each more intense than the last, Myelin Sheaths have found a perfect platform to desecrate the chill and melt the frozen wilderness around them. The endlessly reverberated dual male/female vocals blend together on the b-side's 'Drugstore Pharmacy' so well that you can feel the sky open up and suck you straight into heaven, as it washes away the troubles clouding your weary consciousness.

In the liner notes which told of the 13th Chime’s formation and brief ascent as deathrock contenders it was noted that there was a number of recordings that were intended for a full length release and were subsequently shelved at the 11th hour due to record company politics.

Old bandmate (and also Shivvers' drummer) Jim Richardson once qualified the combo as "Brian Jones on speed fronting The Jam". In fact, the trio was typical of the US vintage late `70s powerpop sound, as they were true garage activists drawing from the `60s legacy much more subtly than their UK contemporaries. Juvenile, disarming, devoid of all pretence or anything. Original members, bassist Scott Krueger, guitarist Breck Burns and drummer Bob Wrenn weren't at the first attempt to start out a band. They played in early incarnations of The Orbits like In A Hot Coma, The Craze (which included guitarist Howie Epstein), and The Drones but their only 7" vinyl appearance was due to The Orbits. Indeed, released on the tiny label No.1, "Make The Rules" backed with smashing "Phenomenal World" were in the bins in 1980, in fact the same week than Milwaukee bandmates The Shivvers' "Teen Line" 7" single. They would be remembered for their blistering sets (they covered The Jam's "In The City", The Who's "So Sad About Us") but their studio counterparts were really worth a try. The Orbits sound was tight like a strong black coffee (or its chemical equivalent) but enriched with a lot of pop artifacts (clear vocals, handclaps, peals of guitar riffs, "lalala-la" background vocals). The Shivvers and The Orbits would later morph into one, keeping The Shivvers name and would include Jim Richardson, Scott Krueger, Breck Burns, guitarist Mike Pyle, and singer, songwriter, keyboardist Jill Kossoris."

A few demos were taped in Warrington on November 26, two days before entering London?s Pathway Studios to record a second 7? for Chiswick which never saw the light of day. In the second half of 1978 a deal with Rabid Records was negotiated and two tracks were taped at Cheshire?s Revolution Studio on February 19, 1979, with Steve Hopkins (k) as guest musician and Andy Mac taking production duties. Rabid planned the release of a single then decided to include the two tracks on a compilation album: both projects were eventually aborted. Undeterred, the Jeff Hill Band decided to found their own label, Balloon Records, and self-financed the pressing of 500 copies of a 7? housed in a cartoon picture cover with a Ramonesy drawing of Jeff wearing a 'gabba gabba hey' badge. The record emerged on December 20, 1979, and is worth tracking down, though it is quite hard to locate: its two Punk/Powerpop songs are enjoyable efforts with the A-side SOMETHING?S WRONG WITH MY BABY arguably being the better track. Plagued by sparse distribution, sales were minimal causing the combo?s demise after a final gig in Warrington on April 19, 1980."

An impromtu practice at Jill Kossoris' (Shivvers) house and the introduction of her friend, drummer Rob Mccuen took the band out of the cover circuit and focused their talents on writing original material. The bands only 45 was released in November of 1980 and ranks as one of the best two siders to emerge from the incredible Milwaukee music scene of the 1980's. The single was released in a run of 500 copies on the bands own Hit-Man records and is highly sought after today as both cuts are flawless powerpop tunes."

As their influences have cited, and the self-described trinity of Chrome, Crime and Creedence settles into place in your chemically-damaged skull, and the unexpectedly danceable hits from their string of vile, self-depricating 7" singles are reborn with a devastatingly murky effect that will drag you down into a hole faster than any over-the-counter anti-anxiety cocktail you've ever ingested. Like Peter Murphy sucking on a tailpipe, Wizzard Sleeve are the end of the line for your happy good times and the start of a new atrocious standard in head-expanding, zooed-out and shut-in true punk weirdness that won't be getting many brownie points with mom, dad, church leaders, or parole officers anytime soon."

Hot on the heals of their split single with the Ebonics, GESTAPO KHAZI are back with a vengeance. Laying down creepy, surfy, post punk jams; GESTAPO KHAZI go above and beyond the call of duty to make their music memorable. You can hear bits and peaces of the Gun Club, Urinals and the Wipers, all set to a trippy, claustrophobic guitar back drop that really works for the band. Their's a pretty heavy downer Jeffrey Lee Pierce vibe running straight through this sucker even though most of the tunes are abrasive and definitely grounded in punk. Add that underlying layer of creepy crawley post punk mess and you're left with something that can only be described as intense. Pretty new band here, but after hearing this LP, you definitely get a sense that these guys are really onto something.

Under the most extreme scrutiny these men have rendered this super-charged missive of volatile energy that sounds at once classic and refreshing. Appearing at a moment in history that can only be best described as "a yawning pit of deluded regurgitation", this 14-song attack answers your life's desperate call for Meaning.

The a-side is where youll find most of the songs, very isolated and creepy tunes that wouldve had Ralph Records second-guessing their mission statement. One of the few understandable lyrics is “then he sprays her with cream”, if that helps. Even when I hear an actual rock tune or two, the head-space is really too fractured to channel the Blank Dogs comparison that the phrase “solo lo-fi post-punk bedroom project” cannot avoid. Its the b-side where things really take off though, to the point where any semblance of normalcy is unceremoniously stuffed under the carpet. Its like watching an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show while blindfolded, as if youre deprived of a necessary sense and under attack by a bunch of irritating jokes that make little sense to the performer and even less to you. I always thought Steves Homostupids grammar was kind of a put-on, with his “here is our music record songs for you and suck” routine, but Shitman makes me think he may need therapy after all." - yellowgreenred.com.

With this record, they are clearly figuring out what musical boundaries they can poke and prod while remaining firmly rooted in the world of hardcore. On the A-side, “Barricade” wallows in the kind of awkward tension that results from never wanting to leave your house. It alternates between crushing two step hardcore and wild, jangly noise rock played in non-standard tuning. The B-side is a slower instrumental song. A sparse, laid back jam that brings to mind Black Flag and The Jesus Lizard in its winding, ugly guitar riffs, and lurching rhythms. Comes in a hand-stamped picture sleeve. -M.Castore On Fashionable Idiots.

Cheveu, Feeling of Love, Normals, and A.H. Kraken are just the tip of this incredibly huge Metz iceberg. Many of these bands share members, but they all have their very own sound. The Anals sound is similar to the aforementioned bands in their abrasive, weird punk base, but this duo is more obliviously influenced by the German industrial, electropunk group D.A.F. (via the Brainbombs) than any of their peers. Their single on Sweet Rot sold out almost immediately and the demand prompted a repress.

Originally released in 1981 by Sexy Robot Records and limited to 900 copies, Essential Entertainment is an unrecognized gem of the early post-punk era. A unique and compelling sense of restless dread and frustration emanates from their stuttering grooves, spiky guitar arpeggios, and disturbed mutter-to-shout vocals. The music is clearly inspired by its peers: Joy Division, the Fall, and label mates the Cultural Decay. Essential Entertainment was AA's first and only release. Softspot will be releasing a limited pressing of 500 copies" Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:30:11 -0700 http://www.academyannex.com/blog/?page_id=2&category=12&product_id=495 7.50 http://www.academyannex.com/blog/?page_id=2&category=5&product_id=496 "...generous dose of 70's bar rock vibe but with quicker tempos and moderately blown out vocals.

Short and simple has been Bobby's style for years, and he's sticking to his guns.

The classic Cleveland, OH sounds from the 70's all on one handy full length- 15 trax, including both sides of the Hearthan 7" single, all but one of the "Those Were Different Times" Scat 10" cuts, and others from "Hands In My Pockets" cd on Overground. It's solid, some might say a "best of" even. All trax recorded '74 and '75.

They recorded this 45, their first of three for the CNR label, in 1979 at Soundpush studios, Blaricum with Dennis Kloeth acting as producer. The playing on the 45's is tight, the production is spot on and the songs are extremely well crafted. The anthemic “I Wanna Get Married” did not permeate deeply into the personal life of the band members; as of today not more than two Cylinders are wearing a wedding ring. The back side, “Looking for work” was more prophetic: all six Cylinders are nowadays firmly employed, though five of them no longer in the music business.

Having signed a deal with Rebel Records (a subsidiary of EMI), late in 1976 the combo recorded three tracks at London's Majestic Studios. Early in 1977 Red Whyman changed moniker to Jetz, recruited new drummer Steve Bye and changed their set in a New Wave direction. Two further songs were taped, again at Majestic Studios, with Dave 'Howie' Howman producing. One of them IF THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, would remain unreleased, but the other, an enjoyable Powerpopper with Punk overtones entitled CATCH ME, would surface on the A-side of a single only issued in Holland, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia between the end of 1977 and the beginning of 1978.

The Buzzcockian guitar solo of GENUINE REPLY, the chorus of RIPPED IN TWO and the John Barry-esque intro to the title-track were the platter's most memorable moments. Although all four tunes were very convinving and could stay on your turntable for days. Reissue on Sing Sing Records.

In 2008 they put out the 'La Caza' 12" and toured the USA. After the USA tour there were some more line up changes, so they decided to change the name of the band. DESTINO FINAL is the new name but apart from that, little has changed. 'Atrapados' is an 9 track album of feedback and reverb drenched punk. It takes small slices of classic 80's European hardcore, English Anarcho punk and DISCHARGE and makes something that is dense, desperate and twisted." On La Vida Es Un Mus.

Musically, though, it’s probably not what you think, (it’s better) given the ex members list. Think speedy, catchy stuff that blurs the lines of punk and very early So Cal hardcore, with lots of surf/spy guitar thrown on top!

Towards the end of their tenure, SPBT was signed to a major label in the free-for-all signing bonanza of the post-Nirvana years. The second album SPBT recorded in 1996 for their major was deemed "unlistenable" by the suits and went unreleased until 2001, when it came out on CD via Zero to One. So here we are 14 years after the original recording of this incredible record, releasing it on vinyl for the first time. The entire SPBT catalog is great, and is highly recommended to fans of the noise rock released on labels like AmRep and Noiseville, and genre defying bands like Chrome and Melvins, but "Unlistenable" stands out as a stellar document of a weird band at their weirdest, and it's a damn shame it took this long to finally hear it on wax."

The nine-song opus, Rhizomes, unleashes a propulsive beat that drives angular guitars and bone chilling vocals over dark bass, dense drones and clattering, dance-like percussion. The atmospheric psychedelia owes as much to Arthur Russell as to Amon Duul. Rhizomes includes two of the band’s UK singles on Loog Records, and seven more previously-unreleased original songs. There are brilliant videos for both singles; the cinematic “Long Shadow,” directed by Brandon LaGanke, is making its way around the internet, and showcases the six-piece during their most formidable hour. Mak Kern’s stunning animation for EFFI BRIEST’s palindrome song, “Mirror Rim,” is bound to boomerang back if you missed it the first time. " On Sacred Bones.

Awash in the whips and twangs of a spring loaded reverb tank and faint hints of a distant drum kit, Nerve City’s hook-driven songs recall the hard-charging down-strokes of the Velvet Underground’s more driving moments or, more recently, the psychedelia of West coast kindred spirits in Sic Alps and the Gris Gris. Over the past several years, the band has cemented a rep both live and on record. First came the Catholic School demo tape and the follow-up, Hell (both via Amateur Depression), then quickly sides on Severed Hand, Kill Shaman, HoZac, and Sweet Rot.s For the most part, those releases are now completely gone."

Tackling subject matter like tabloid journalism and text messaging with a sound that is like a car crash of early 80s L.A. punk and thrashy art punk with ultra snotty female vocals, they are the pop culture junkie cousins of bands like No-Talents, Nu Sensae and Mika Miko. Forming just over a year ago in the southwest Montreal borough of St-Henri, the band banged out close to a dozen bonafide punk hits within a matter of months. What you get here are three of those songs, one ("Gentleman Rapist") recorded by Choyce (Red Mass / CPC Gangbangs) at his practice space in Griffintown, and the other two ("D.W.S.Y.H.F" and "TXT Me") recorded by Marc Montanchez at CKUT last summer."

After numerous well received CD-R and cassette releases (most of which appeared on their own Does Are and Black Cheeks labels), Midnite Cobras is the band's vinyl debut, comprising three songs showcasing their psych rock side, including brand new recordings of the epic title-track and “I'm A Welsh Souper” (both of which first appeared on last year's An When CD-R), as well as “Electric Dragon Sword,” a song that's exclusive to this release. Fans of Parson Sound, Spaceman 3 and High Rise should take note, as these dudes worship the ground they walked on (so much so that they've recorded and performed tributes to all of these bands in the past). At the same time, Tonstartssbandht write songs that are so catchy and original that they really stand out on their own." On Psychic Handshake.

Coming on the heels of last year's critically acclaimed self-titled 12" on Dais, universally considered one of the most grotesque, misanthropic, and extreme releases of 2009, a listen to Seedbed finds the band pulling you further into the grime and mire of THEIR world. The result is a truly unnerving mixture of suffocating feedback and distortion, blown-out drum sounds, loop abuse beyond recognition, and the manipulated, maniacal barks of wild-eyed singer Alessandro Keegan.

Our first full-length LP features the recordings of Kebab, a short-lived quartet of punk-minded Belgian youths. Inspired by the Crass Records DIY mentality, the burgeoning UK art-punk scene, and their own boredom, Kebab combined anti-political punk diatribes with sharp guitars, plodding basslines, synth gurgles, and spastic electronic percussion. The result is an aggressively sparse take on post-punk that remains fresh and visceral sounding today.

This Toronto-based duo have built a name for themselves forging their self-coined “cave pop” genre, which merges elements of 50s melodies and dark post-punk instrumentals with just a hint of flannel. Their debut 12-inch EP Wooden Glove, was released last spring on Captured Tracks and sold out shortly after, having been instantly well-received among tough critics and keen listeners alike. Cook’s jangly guitars stay back in the cut and let Fogel’s vocals (and the occasional fuzzy lead, saxophone, synth line, and handclap) wash over the tunes. Their collaborative work appears live with the help of drummer Jonah Falco (Fucked Up, Career Suicide) and a rotation of starry guest bassists. Though live shows have been scarce, owing to the members’ involvement with a number of other disparate projects, the band made their live debut a short time ago and found time to play the Sacred Bones label showcase at SXSW."

Late last year, Florida’s Dying dropped Through The Magical Door—a debut album hailed as the S.F. Sorrow of fuzzy sludge pop that topped just about everyone’s “best of” lists. Though it may be a little while longer before we get another full length, this single captures both the noisy and saccharine sweet sides of the band and should keep fans sated for now. “I Swear I’ll Never Let You Go” is a two-and-a-half-minute downer-pop gem, four harmonies and all. The A-side, “Pretty Joanna,” is virtually the opposite with a melody buried under layers of warm cascading fuzz and feedback." On Sacred Bones.

On the B-side “Sometimes” is a dirge like midtempo song that goes beyond the obvious comparisons to the Helios Creed/Damon Edge orbit and at times recalls Sacred Bones label-mate Gary War and even Mac’s other project, Daily Void."
