Pyramids + Horseback – ‘A Throne Without a King’

February 6, 2012

0

Yay, we’re back! We have no idea how long we’ll last this time, seeing as every filesharing site on the internet has been wetting itself since Megaupload got taken down, but we’re gonna go ahead and attempt to re-upload as much stuff as possible and keep up the blogging. The files will inevitably be taken […]

Breadwinner – ‘Supplementary Cig’ 7″ + ‘Yard’

November 5, 2011

0

So little is known about Richmond, Virginia’s Breadwinner that I’ve been forced to use a picture of one of their singles in lieu of a complete lack of any actual band pictures. An obscure 90’s math-rock band with a surprisingly devoted cult following, the band put out a Steve Albini produced (!) full-length, Burner, in 1994, […]

DJ JD Sports – Collected Tracks

October 26, 2011

So check it out: Archy Marshall, AKA King Krule, formerly known as Zoo Kid, has been putting out a bunch of stuff as DJ JD Sports and, in case you hadn’t assumed as such already, it’s rad stuff. We already know the kid has an absurd amount of talent, but it goes beyond the (amazing) […]

Wetnurse – ‘Invisible City’

August 30, 2011

1

Who can blame me for the fact that I tend to forget just how great Wetnurse‘s Invisible City is? Released in 2008, the record garnished a miniscule amount of attention, but just enough for me to listen to it and get hooked. You always take a risk listening to a totally unknown band’s album, but by […]

Circle Takes The Square – ‘Decompositions, Volume I, Chapter 1: Rites of Initiation’

August 28, 2011

HOLY FUCK SHIT.  It’s out.  I’m going to make this quick since all screamo fans will be itching to get their grubby little fingers on this.  I’m going to assume everyone already knows this because if you don’t, well, fuck you, but this is the first CTTS release since ’04.  It’s easily the most anticipated […]

MIXTAPE: Rick Smith

August 26, 2011

1

As if drumming in sludge-pop masterminds Torche (one of my favourite bands) and grindcore bros Shitstorm isn’t enough, Rick Smith also has an awesome taste in music. We asked him to tell us a little about ten songs he’s really into right now, and he was more than happy to oblige. To top it all […]

SLEEP ∞ OVER – Collected Singles

August 10, 2011

1

Crawling out from beneath the ‘witch house’ mire, SLEEP ∞ OVER is truly a diamond in a vast, bottomless ocean of shit. While the apparent ‘darkness’ of the music, the lo-fi aesthetics and, sigh, the infinity symbol in the name does somewhat justify the tag, there’s a lot more going on here than with 99% […]

Mare – S/T + ‘Night Goat’

July 15, 2011

2

Mare are a true enigma. The trio put out one, self-titled EP in 2004, contributed a cover of ‘Night Goat’ in 2005, for a Melvins compilation, and called it quits in 2007, due to “lack of motivation”. Listening to the EP, it’s almost impossible to imagine what they could have produced had they continued: their […]

Death Grips – ‘Exmilitary’

June 27, 2011

This is definitely not for everyone.  At first, i couldn’t get past the vocals, but after a second listen, and actually paying attention to the lyrics, it’s grown on me a fuck load.  Firstly, the production is amazing.  Secondly, the beats are fucking amazing.  Thirdly, even though I can see how they could be annoying, […]
