Ra!d - Ra!d

As co­in­ci­dence would have it, here's yet an­oth­er group of some­what fuzzy where­abouts al­though the avail­able ev­i­dence gen­er­al­ly points to­ward Penn­syl­va­nia this time. On their most re­cent full-length ef­fort, a war­bly blown-out lo-fi acoustic in­tro gives way to a knock­out punch of a post punk blast that sounds a bit as if the hal­lu­cino­genic haze of groups á la Piles or Die! Die! Die! en­tered the pitch black worlds of Nag. Oth­er times we get some­what more con­ven­tion­al yet nonethe­less ass-kick­ing flash­es of old­school doom- and sludge-lean­ing Am­Rep-style noise rock col­lid­ing with the spaced out acid punk ex­cess of, say, De­struc­tion Unit, Hamer or Su­per-X.

Night Babes - NBEP

I haven't got the slight­est clue where these folks hail from and al­so how this EP, hav­ing been re­leased a year ago ap­par­ent­ly, could go un­no­ticed for so long. 'Cos this cer­tain­ly ain't your typ­i­cal av­er­age bor­ing post punk record. Their sound of equal parts post punk and -core equipped with some ex­cel­lent garage propul­sion kin­da bridges the gaps be­tween a wide range of stuff of ear­ly Pro­tomar­tyr or Con­stant Mon­grel cal­iber on the Post Punk side of things, more garage-lean­ing acts in the Tyvek, Par­quet Courts or Go­tobeds vein, plen­ty of Hot Snakes-/Drive Like Je­hu-es­que post­core vibes and even the oc­ca­sion­al hint of Mis­sion Of Bur­ma or Mov­ing Tar­gets can be found in there.

TJ Cabot - King Grove

Cana­di­an garage dude TJ Cabot's out­put on­ly grows stronger with each new re­lease and this one ain't no ex­cep­tion in once again hit­ting every sin­gle nail on the head, ham­mer­ing home a catchy-as-fuck mix of pow­er pop and garage punk that doesn't need to shy away from com­par­isons to greats such as The Marked Men, Erik Ner­vous, Tom­my & The Com­mies, Andy Hu­man & The Rep­toids, Liq­uids, Bad Sports or Nick Nor­mal.

Heav­en Is No Fun re­leas­es Sep­tem­ber 9th via To­tal Punk Records.

TV Cult - Videodrome

Sniffany & The Nits - The Unscratchable Itch

The full length de­but of this Lon­don group is a per­fect storm of de­light­ful­ly off-the-rails hard- and post­core, of­ten per­me­at­ed with un­ex­pect­ed­ly melod­ic sub­cur­rents and at first glance kin­da play­ing out like a mid­dle ground be­tween weird­core pow­er­house Warm Bod­ies and fel­low some­one-and-the-some­things group Judy and the Jerks… but theres more than just that go­ing on here with mo­ments rem­i­nis­cent of an eclec­tic clus­ter of am­bi­tious hard­core groups á la Acrylics, Cri­sis Man, Mur­der­er, Kalei­do­scope or Straw Man Army.
