Spasi - HTCM in Block City /​ Jerk Squad

The de­but cass­in­gle (?) of this Seat­tle group de­liv­ers a way too short yet al­to­geth­er ex­cit­ing synth- and garage punk freak­out, the A-side HTCM in Block City burst­ing with an en­er­gy not too dis­tant from acts like Liq­uid Face, Klint, Mononeg­a­tives, Ghoulies or Slimex. As for the B-Side Jerk Squad… Is kraut­wave an ac­tu­al genre? 'Cos that's ex­act­ly what i'd de­scribe this stuff as.

Cool Sorcery - With Love, Maggie

Now this is a kick­ass, im­pres­sive­ly con­fi­dent long­play­ing de­but as­sem­bled by some dude from Brasília, Brazil out of on­ly the finest bits and pieces con­tem­po­rary DIY garage punk has to of­fer with acts like Andy Hu­man and the Rep­toids, Erik Ner­vous, Spodee Boy, Nick Nor­mal or Bel­ly Jel­ly par­tic­u­lar­ly com­ing to mind, spiced up with oc­ca­sion­al out­bursts of Skull Cult-es­que pan­de­mo­ni­um. Even some psy­che­del­ic vibes á la Mononeg­a­tives, Os­ees or Pow! get mixed in, cul­mi­nat­ing in the mono­lith­ic acid punk one-two punch of Dddelir­i­um and Plague V.

Vintage Crop - Kibitzer

Don't ex­pect too many sur­pris­es from the newest Vin­tage Crop LP but ex­pect plen­ty of good­ness nonethe­less, fol­low­ing that cer­tain garage punk for­mu­la the Mel­bourne group cer­tain­ly did their part to es­tab­lish in tan­dem with fel­low acts such as Pinch Points, Dumb, Ura­ni­um Club and Abort­ed Tor­toise, of which they de­liv­er a slight­ly more straight­for­ward and catchy vari­ant here, al­so con­tain­ing some oc­ca­tion­al traces of stuff like Pat­ti, Par­quet Courts or In­sti­tute. The two stand­outs here are the slow­er jams Im­pact of Wis­dom and The Bloody War in which their song­writ­ing qual­i­ties re­al­ly get to shine, the lat­ter one al­so car­ry­ing a melan­choly, dis­tinct­ly wire-es­que vibe.
