James Broonbreed Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Fair trickit with Ty Segall's Goodbye Bread. I've loved all his more 'rock' albums and never ventured too far into his softer Syd Barretty stuff until turning a corner with manipulator. 3 Songs in on youtube and I bought the LP. I just wish I could get fuckin' baked and listen to it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I Refuse - Offnen/Atmen Pretty raging emo/punk from Germany. A little like End of a Year, Life at These Speeds, I Adapt etc. A great mix of melodic hooks and skramz-ish belters. GOOD. http://irefuse.bandcamp.com/album/ffnen-atmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Bail - In Closing Memories Germany has some of the best punx right now. Bail play shouty emo/post hardcore. For some reason, they remind me a bit of Carson Wells, with a bit less chops and changes. Lots of quiet/loud dynamics. A total rocker. Get your earballs around it. http://timeasacolor.bandcamp.com/album/time-30-bail-in-closing-memories-lp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Not an album, but long enough to be. So good. There's something like 40 rappers on this, so a few verses are inadvertently wack, but so many of these guys just murder the beat (looking at you, Killer Mike, Problem and Raekwon). The real stand-out is Hudson Mohawke though: that beat could level mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Fuzz - self titled. Does what it says on the tin; massive fuzzy riffs, lots of fuzzy solos and Ty Segall's usual fuzzy screamings. Ace album art to boot inna. Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Stroopy121 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Banner Pilot. I've listened to all their records every day for a week now. I can not fit enough of their music in my lugs. Gruff, melodic punk rock. ?/10 xx EDIT: This song especially Edited January 12, 2015 by Stroopy121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfer_Rosa Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Roxwell Kid - Too ShabbySweet pop-punkish jams with the odd smattering of guitarmonies and pinch harmonics. Manages to be a better Weezer album from 2014 than the one actual Weezer released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 California X - Nights in the Dark Fuzzpunx California X bring serious pop chops. I was big into their self titled record, but this is a colossal step forwards, IMO. The previous record was a rocker, but this is all about the hooks. Huge melodies, syrupy vocals and walls of low-tuned fuzzed guitars. Insert lazy Weezer comparison here. It's apt though. 10 thumbs up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I judged their last record by the cover and thought I'd hate it, but I ended up loving it. Have only listened to this new one or two times but wasn't paying too much attention, so will go back to it on your recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Drug Church - Swell EP Drug Church have honed a sound which I just can't pinpoint. The first album is 90's alt worship, without really sounding like anyone. This new short just has it all. It pinballs between Archers of Loaf, Quicksand and even stuff as goofy as The Wrangler Brutes, but it sounds like none of them. It's the vocalist from End of a Year/Self Defense Family, who are super good. They don't sound like them either. It's straight badass.

Soda Jerk Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Wrangler Brutes - Zulu Speaking of the Wrangler Brutes, here's the Wrangler Brutes. I was surprised to find Zulu on Spotify, assuming it had been long forgotten. The bits of Drug Church that reminded me of WB made me want to dig out this record. Weird as hell hardcore punk, fronted by well-renowned fucking weirdo Sam McPheeters (formerly of Born Against - the best HC band of all time) who claims he hated this band from the beginning. Gave it a re-listen today for the first time in years. It's still totally wild. McPheeters' vocal delivery is possessed. Just batshit. It's just a mess. It often sounds like 4 guys playing 4 different songs, and it works. The band lasted barely a year, and their final two shows were played with improvised vocals from the guy from No Age, because McPheeters didn't turn up, and when asked about Zulu, he allegedly pretends it never even happened. A sign of a good record is when the brainchild behind it dismisses its absolute existence. HELL YEAH! It's fucking mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Xzibit - "At the Speed of Life"I've never properly listened to this guy's stuff, as surely there was no way that the guy fronting "Pimp My Ride" could be responsible for quality music. Having heard a few of his mainstream crossover tracks from the early 00's, I was expecting Eminem features, half-baked Dr. Dre cast-off beats and not much else. What I got was a total smacker of an album. This is his debut album, and its seriously good. Xzibit never really gives you too much to think about lyrically: he just comes at you head-on with a gruff delivery that sounds great over the production. Lots of songs about how he's a great rapper and you're a fuckboy, interspersed with some surprising reflective moments. The production is brilliant though, and is far more East Coast in execution. Dusty boom-bap drums coupled with fresh loops and a sprinkling of West Coast bounce, but not too much. If you like gruff, no nonsense rappers flowing over classic production then you will definitely enjoy this. 8/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 "Lease of Life" by Errors. (I'm not sorry about the huge picture) I gave this a proper listen today and I am really liking the more mellow sounding and the female lead vocals on some of the tracks. Some of the music reminds me of computer games on the Atari ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Kings X - Gretchen goes to Nebraska. 26 years on it's still as fresh as ever...Ty Tabors guitar tone here is exquisite,Throw in Doug Pinnicks vocals and some excellent Beatlesque/Gospel three part vocal harmonies and you have a great record.

Woodsinho Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 No Spill Blood - Heavy Electricity This is noisy. Good noisy. Unrelenting fuzzy bass guitar riffs overlayed with synths and pounding drums. Sounds a bit like what could happen if Kylesa got really into 80s sci-fi.

ca_gere Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Necromonkey - Nekroplex I'm being dragged along to a Prog Rock concert next week. The band is called Magma - i'm assured they're a totally important prog band and I'll love it, however I know nothing about Prog, other than I quite like Genesis. I've been given a bunch of records to listen to in between, to brush up a little. This one is fantastic. So so good. Took me by surprise so thought I'd share. Post-rock but with weirdy-willy elements I associate with Prog, huge dynamics, massive sounding type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I know about Magma because Steve Davis from snooker is a massive fan. That sounds like the kind of thing I'd be into. Cool. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
