Die TV - Uno Affo

Com­ing off a se­ries of neat EPs last year, Marmo­ra, New Jer­sey garage group or, prob­a­bly, so­lo artist Die TV re­turns with a new al­bum pre­sent­ing their tunes in an even more stripped-down, low-key man­ner at first glance, yet un­der­neath the unas­sum­ing sur­face un­folds a spec­tac­u­lar fire­works of DIY cre­ativ­i­ty. While at some points you may still find the oc­ca­sion­al speck of Spits or Stal­ins of Sound in there, Die TV's strum­my, jan­g­ly blend of garage- and post punk with sprin­kles of psy­che­delia comes in­to even sharp­er fo­cus here, the min­i­mal­ist pro­duc­tion pro­vid­ing plen­ty of breath­ing room for the melan­choly, sparkling gui­tar arrange­ments with more than a lit­tle hint of Des­per­ate Bi­cy­cles in some places, Pow­er Plant or Freak Genes in oth­ers, even a touch of Dig­i­tal Leather in the mut­ed pop vibes of Goner. Don't let first im­pres­sions fool you, this is quite po­tent and awe­some shit from start to fin­ish!

Pig Earth - Exit Wound

A son­ic ex­pe­ri­ence won­der­ful­ly out of touch with the zeit­geist, craft­ed by some Belling­ham, Wash­ing­ton group. Prime in­flu­ence here seems to be a whole bat­tery of ear­ly-to-mid eight­ies, loose­ly SST and Touch & Go-con­nect­ed stuff - on the more strum­my, folk-in­fused side of things ad­mit­ted­ly, but nev­er afraid of spon­ta­neous­ly mor­ph­ing in­to short bursts of hard­core punk ei­ther. Most ob­vi­ous amoung those in­flu­ences would prob­a­bly be shit among the lines of Angst and Meat Pup­pets, ear­ly Di­nosaur Jr. and, sec­on­dar­i­ly, U-Men, Mud­honey and 80s Sci­en­tists, some very slight hints of Dicks and Wipers. Or al­ter­nate­ly, you might think of more re­cent Acts like ear­ly Milk Mu­sic, Dhar­ma Dogs, Chronophage and Damak.

C.A.T.C.H. - C.A.T.C.H.

A sur­pris­ing­ly ver­sa­tile batch of garage punk minia­tures on this sweet lit­tle de­but cas­sette by a group from… well, prob­a­bly not way too far from Char­lotte, North Car­oli­na i guess. Most­ly this shit can be lo­cat­ed some­where among the quirky DIY garage punk spec­trum with sim­i­lar­i­ties to stuff like Set-Top Box, Alien Nose­job, Sa­tan­ic To­gas, R.M.F.C, ear­ly Vaguess or Erik Ner­vous, a more lo-fi Split Sys­tem… speak­ing of which, there's al­so quite a bit of melan­choly aussie style garage en­er­gy á la Jack­son Reid Brig­gs, Pist Id­iots go­ing on in Chik'n Din­ner. Songs like Sweet 'n Stout and Free Meat dab­ble in hard­core to vary­ing de­grees and the clos­ing track Gal­lop!! has ear­ly Min­ute­men goin' full cow­punk!

AdamR - Weirdo

A healthy burst of pul­sat­ing, al­beit fair­ly con­ven­tion­al garage punk, this newest EP by Carlisle, Eng­land dude AdamR. What it lacks in orig­i­nal­i­ty, it makes up for with sheer force and its su­per sol­id, adept song con­struc­tion though. Add to this a slight Lo-Fi bent and the re­sult is an­oth­er fine treat for fans of shit sim­i­lar to, say, Sauna Youth, Clamm, Ex-Cult, Gluer, Mi­traille, Shit­ty Life or Dadar.
