Side number four by Marmora, New Jersey garage troubador Die TV is yet another super-solid batch of garage-/synth-/electro punk miniature goodness. Not much more to add to that other than what i already said about his previous releases: Friends of weirdness in the same orbit as, say, Powerplant, Stalins of Sound, Erik Nervous, The Spits, Set-Top Box, Digital Leather… rejoice!

A new EP by brazilian eggpunk's prime mover Cool Sorcery aka Marcos Assis. His sound is becoming more ambitious with each new release and accordingly, the newest one is another delightful structured mess, seemingly drawing just as much unlikely inspiration from 70's hard- and progressive rock as it does from the current garage- and synthpunk scene.

My best effort to describe this work of the devil channeled by some St. Louis, Missouri dude is this: An overabundance of stupid demented shit condensed into fun little garage tunes in the vague neighbourhood of Buck Biloxi, Strange Attractor or, alternately, Dead Moon & The Dead Milkmen, maybe with some Wild Man Fisher thrown in for good measure. I think i'm just about dumb enough to appreciate that!

Great fun as always, the newest EP by Italy's Shitty Life on which they once again infuse their garage punk with tons of hardcore speed and energy (or vice versa), making for another straightforward no-frills attack that will surely please sympathizers of acts á la Crisis Man, Dadar, Gluer or Easers.

This weeks prime exhibit unearthed from the bermuda triangle of Garage-, Synth- and Eggpunk-related dementia comes from a bunch of hungarian folks letting loose a racket that leaves nothing be desired for connoiseurs of the genre, scratching an itch similar to well known genre entities á la Ghoulies, Research Reactor Corp., Slimex, Gee Tee or Set-Top Box.

I overlooked this this gem by South Carolina dude or band Sid Eargle the first time around so i'm glad the greek label Body Blows shoved this in my face a second time. Hidden inbetween a mess of instrumentals and interludes there's also an excellent album to be found plundering away at oldschool garage and punk history with an undeniable Dead Boys vibe, among other things.

After years of venturing into sometimes more, sometimes less obvious (sub-)genres, the latest longplayer of Jake Robertson's Alien Nosejob marks kind of a return to his Ausmuteants roots in some places, while still carrying plenty of echoes of his more ecclectic ventures of late. Oh, and most of all, he's diving knee-deep into classic-/dad rock territory this time but thankfully doing so with style, grace and a sense of humor. Smashers like Shuffling Like Coins and Coastal Living 2 are probably as close to a tonge-in-cheek AC/DC knockoff as you're ever gonna get.

Dangerously catchy Lo-Fi garage punk and power pop from Madrid, kinda channeling the strengths of other spanish acts of late, most obviously among those would be Prison Affair, Beta Maximo and Finale while international acts á la Nuts, R.M.F.C. or or Satanic Togas aren't too far off either.

New shit from Nick Vicario aka Smirk, also known as part of such potent punk powerhouses as Public Eye, Crisis Man und Cemento. His second LP carries more of his eclectic post- and garage punk extravaganza sourced out of a generous grab bag of punk samples, bearing fleeting similarities to such diverse acts as ISS, Institute, Alien Nosejob, Cherry Cheeks, Uranium Club, Reality Group or Marbled Eye.

Dumb and simplistic garage-/synth punk shit from Sweden that won't fail to energize fans of the likes of Liquid Face, The Spits, Ausmuteants, Sex Mex, Mateo Manic, Slimex, Powerplant, Buck Biloxi and the Fucks… pick your poison!
