Toe Ring - Footage

A won­drous and strange lit­tle EP full of oth­er­world­ly garage-/pow­er-/fuzz pop from a Philadel­phia Duo. The tape starts out as if the in­sane pop qual­i­ties of, say, Boo­ji Boys or Daugh­ter Bat & The Lip Stings col­lid­ed with the smart rhyth­mic post punk of Lithics, while the re­main­ing three songs then set­tle in­to a slight­ly more low-key kraut-lean­ing psy­che­del­ic groove, the likes of which you might sus­pect some­where in the lo-fi pop worlds of acts like Germ House, Far Cor­ners, Vi­o­lent Change, Hon­ey Radar or even ear­ly Woolen Men. Ex­cel­lent shit through­out.

Septic - Septic

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.

Nuts - Living In A Vulgar Vision

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.

Print Head - In Motion

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.

Milt - The Days Of Milt

This Mel­bourne group's tape de­liv­ers a whole buck­et­load of synth-en­hanced garage punk de­light hov­er­ing some­where in­be­tween the ref­er­ence points of Use­less Eaters, Sauna Youth, Aus­muteants, Met­dog… and al­so fair­ly close to the whole Warttman Inc.-affiliated clus­ter­fuck.

Slimex - Easy Money

Last year's de­but tape of this Port­land group was a per­fect­ly fun lit­tle thing al­ready but this new shit is just so much stronger in pret­ty much every as­pect, their pre­sen­ta­tion tighter and the songs more con­cise, sim­ple yet per­fect­ly bal­anced and 100% ef­fi­cient in their amal­ga­ma­tion of garage-, synth- and post punk, ra­di­at­ing out some se­ri­ous vibes á la Re­search Re­ac­tor Corp., Mononeg­a­tives, Ghoulies or Warm Ex­it.

Insane Urge - Insane Urge

Yet an­oth­er Stuc­co sub­la­bel? This cas­sette looks pret­ty much like an Im­po­tent Fe­tus re­lease to me though. Sounds like one, too! Old­school garage punk of the KBD-in­fest­ed va­ri­ety and de­fin­i­tive must-have fod­der for friends of acts such as Launch­er, Liq­uid As­sets or Frea­kees.

Daughter Bat and the Lip Stings - More Love Songs

Sydney's Daugh­ter Bat And The Lip Stings, who've al­ready been mak­ing some waves with a whole shit­load of fun EPs in 2020, are now re­turn­ing with their strongest se­lec­tion of tune­ful garage punk, fuzz- and pow­er pop smash­ers so far, their knack for catchy hooks pro­vok­ing thor­ough­ly flat­ter­ing com­par­isons to the likes of Boo­ji Boys, Ra­dioac­tiv­i­ty, Roy­al Headache or Sweet Reaper.

Feeding Tube - Demo #1

…and here's yet an­oth­er short and sweet ar­ti­fact of vague­ly egg-re­lat­ed garage punk by some NJ per­son. This shit plays out like a mix of Alien Nose­job in HC 7" mode, S.B.F. and Con­nie Voltaire's hard­core-fo­cussed projects. Al­so, good call trans­form­ing two slow, bor­ing tracks in­to ex­cit­ing, fast tracks through the won­ders of cut­ting edge pitch ad­just­ment tech­nol­o­gy.
