Pizza Boys – A La Mierda con Papa John’s... Acá Están Los Pizza Boys
In a week already pretty heavy on egg-related releases, all that’s left for me to say about this debut EP is that the good egghead gospel seems to have reached the righteous people of Chile at last and that fact alone fills my heart with so much joy – of course also helped by this being such a fun little record.
Album-Stream →Mainframe – Employee / RIP
Yet another Goodbye Boozy 7″ by a trio whose lineup is the stuff wet dreams of today’s distinguished garage-, synth- and eggpunk connoisseur are made of, including connections to Skull Cult and roughly half of the Warttman empire. The results are rather unsurprising…ly awesome!
Satanic Togas & Zoids – Split 7″
Speaking of the naughty one’s favorite garments… they’re also half the subject of a nice new split 7″ on Goodbye Boozy, delivering two short and sweet rippers with Strange Attraction giving off a strong Buck Biloxi & The Fucks vibe.
The songs by Zoids complement this perfectly, operating within similar parameters manifest in both a straightforward rockin’ opening track and a delightfully twisted follow-up.
Easy Ego – Spit On Your Bitch
My carefully tuned anomaly-detecting instruments are sensing some curious egghead activity coming from Belgium, more specifically from some Brussels one-man-act. And what a neat little quality batch of songs has resulted from this. Fans of acts like Warm Exit, Set-Top Box, R.M.F.C. or Satanic Togas, rejoyce! Put a subliminal dungeon smell on top and this is roughly where you’ll end up. Also, there’s some kind of an unexpected Spray Paint-goes-garage punk vibe going on in Horse Power.
Album-Stream →Detestados – Unidos
It appears this Austin, Texas group’s second full-length has already been slowly rotting away on their bandcamp page largely unnoticed for a while now. This has to change fast. The album starts out somewhat akin to the melodic Lo-Fi garage punk and power pop of Vaguess or Booji Boys, then cycles through various iterations of a slightly KBD-esque garage-, and hardcore-leaning sound not entirely unlike recent acts in the Launcher, Liquid Assets, Fried Egg or Freakees vein, with the occasional subtle Gun Club vibe. Also, there’s a beautifully shambolic cover version of Minutemen’s Corona that manages to not suck in the slightest. Now all of you go make these dudes filthy rich and famous!
Album-Stream →Kerø – Four Track Demo
Another delicious leftover from last week is this debut EP by an australian group, made up of four flawless hardcore-meets-garage punk bangers, the straight and simple Frustrated Youth being nothing short of a timeless anthem. Inevitably i’m reminded of Cement Shoes and – to a lesser degree – earlier Electric Chair, Chainshot or Exxon.
Album-Stream →Dee Bee Rich – 4
One of my favorite unidentified noise-emitting Berlin entities has done it again! Gear up to be enraptured by four of his newest, straightforward-yet-playful lo-fi garage- and post punk jams.
Album-Stream →Psychic Graveyard – Word Machine
Veins Feel Strange releases September 10th via Deathbomb Arc.
