one of the best songs of 21st century…

… is in heavy rotation around here …

here’s there whole EP streaming and here’s there previous EP

<3 wtf i dunno... "claudine meets the bros reid circa darklands..."?

don’t know anything about Grooms, but apparently their 3rd album “Infinity Caller” just released… also this is not having anything to do w/ Tommy James or Tiffany, so click play cuz it pretty much is awesome…

Yuck performs cover of New Order’s Age of Consent live:

word is this is the b-side to Middle Sea:

off their forthcoming sophomore album “Gold & Behold”…

gah… more like this… I’m assuming I followed a lead from Stereogum’s BTW feature where the drummer is wearing a great Spacemen 3 t-shirt, which I usually take to be a sign… Anyway, it appears that I have a tendency to find out about bands scant moments after they break up… Fat Creeps announced 1 month ago on their Facebook page that they’re “on hiatus”… ah well… they’ve got a 6-song EP, a split 12”, a split cst, and a couple other tracks up on their bandcamp page. This is their video for “Daydreaming”, this is just straightforward late-80’s/early-90’s indie rock sans affectation…

Westkust have a new 7″ out following up from last year’s EP. Sounds like razor blades in the honey. Mind-bogglingly, copies are still available. If you aren’t listening to this, you are missing out. (also – band: where is the LP already?)

{embedded bandcamp player is not showing the album artwork as intended….computers suck….}

Joanna Gruesome’s debut LP technically doesn’t come out for another week (from Slumberland), but I’m guessing this’ll be my favorite album of 2013, mostly because their download only demo EP has been on continuous play here for the last year or so… highly recommended noisepop.

misnamed, but what the heck…

available for download via Bandcamp

Had a favorite track a few years back from a band named Volcano Playground. They had a demo up somewhere (bandcamp?) for free. Lead track “Waiting” was stellar. Then silence. Apparently the band has re-branded themselves as the considerably lamer Program, but Waiting supposedly debuted on vinyl tonday, with a full-length debut from Program in the wings. Here’s the video for Waiting, it = awesome. … not terribly dissimilar from something that might’ve come out on 4AD at their height in the 80’s, think Dead Can Dance mashed up with Clan of Xymox or something….
