This L.A. group comes right out of the orbit of Launcher and Co-Ed. As you might already expect, this is another explosive charge of simple, raw and energetic noise made up to equal parts of garage- and catchy early 80s hardcore punk enhanced with that certain ragged KBD-style additive we've come to know and love out of this particular neighborhood.

Almost two years after an awesome demo tape, this dude from Cologne has finally unleashed upon us his full length debut and damn, is that another irresistible super-sized bucket of pure garage- and ***punk bliss roughly in the neighborhood of usual suspects like Set-Top Box, Metdog, Prison Affair, Erik Nervous or Dee Bee Rich, among many others.

An early contender for the loudest record of 2022, this burst of maximally abrasive noise - recorded sometime in 2016 and now finally released via Runstate Tapes - truly has what it takes to startle the dead and sounds like it crawled out of a disgusting brown puddle of pure despair, its hardcore punk foundation buried deep under thick layers of white noise and feedback… but listen closely and you might also find many unexpected flashes of melody embedded deep in there.
Album-Stream →... two great releases by Zhoop and Glands, which - as happens quite often - fellow blog Manierenversagen beat me to the punch posting. Damn you, Manierenversagen!
Nah, just kidding, this saves me some work. So may i suggest you just visit Arne's own little media empire (always a good idea anyway, if you ask me) to listen to the good shit?
The debut LP of this Long Beach group, inconspicuous at first glance, evolves into a real treat for friends of smart, minimalist post punk at a closer listen. Lithics are the first comparison that springs to mind as well as post punk weirdos Patti and Minneapolis garage punk geniuses Uranium Club, while lead vocalist Jett Witchalls conjures up some serious Kim Gordon vibes here, whose 1980s output with Sonic Youth might've also served as an inspiration on downbeat tracks like Shapes, as well as some bits and pieces of 70s/80s The Fall.

Another Print Head release means another perfect storm of weird-ass excentric, chaotic but often unexpectedly melodious garage- and post punk shit, this time around coming across like an odd mixture of contemporary groups of the vaguely egg-related variety with the sluggish grooves of the UV Race and old british Acts like Swell Maps, early Mekons.
