1. Bambara “Nail Polish”

    my buddies Bambara (formerly of Athens, GA and now calling Brooklyn home) just released their new album, the excellent DREAMVIOLENCE. It is a 30 minute caterwaul of No Wave, Noise Rock, and Shoegaze influences that reminds me that it’s always better to just be fucking loud. you can download their song “Nail Polish” today on Vice.com’s music blog Noisey. check it out.

    DOPE BODY “Leather Head”

    the current revival of Noise Rock going on right now warms my Jesus Lizard and Big Black loving heart. this is a new single from one of said Noise Rock Revivalist, DOPE BODY (all capitals cuz fuck you our caps lock key got stuck when we sent out the band group email). anyways when something new comes out that sounds like Brainiac mixed with Shellac then i am gonna give it some attention. check it out.

  3.

    Slavescene “Fuck Off Away From Me”

    one of the greatest punk/noise singles of the last several years. Flipper & Born Against had a baby.

  4.

    Pissed Jeans “Bathroom Laughter”

  5. listening to.  i’m gonna go ahead and say the new Pissed Jeans record is the best Pissed Jeans record even though it sounds exactly like all the other Pissed Jeans records. And all those Pissed Jeans records sounded like The Jesus Lizard covering Black Flag’s My War. noise rock, sludge, 80s hardcore homages, songs about being a failure as a human man, shit to smash your face against the wall to…that’s what Pissed Jeans do and on Honeys they still are doing it fucking well.  recommended.

    Slug Guts “Howlin”

    ain’t nothin’ original about Slug Guts. they steal from the best. The Birthday Party, Beasts Of Bourbon, Scratch Acid, The Gun Club, Christian Death, and about every other band obsessed with apocalyptic sleaze that you wanna namecheck. this is good shit. that’s all you need to know.

    Band Of Susans “It’s Locked Away”

  15. Listening to. Band of Susans could best described as what you would imagine My Bloody Valentine might have sounded like if they had been part of the New York noise rock scene with Live Skull, Swans, and Sonic Youth instead of a shoegaze band. This album is killer. You should own it.
