St Annes Place Release ‘Speakeasy’

St Annes Place Release ‘Speakeasy’

Begining with the Cole brothers, Jacob & Sam in 2010, soon joel joined and having recently finished recording, this is the first proper release from this lineup. If your intrested in that lo fi rock n roll thatll bring you back further then the classic rock station on any radio, look no further. these jams are rooted deep in american rock n roll, and these tracks pull out a certain modern psychedelic vibe with them creating a very lovable link to the beginings of rock.

Grrrl Friend – Happening Now

Grrrl Friend – Happening Now

While our society may have the past and the future, to the Hopi, everything is simply one: we do not necessarily live in the present so much as we live in the past, present, and future all in the same moment. Another way to understand this theory, though, is to simply take a listen through Portland’s own Grrrl Friend and their recent release, “Happening Now“. At times, you may feel as though you’ve bumped into the bastard cousin of The Jesus And Mary Chain and Sonic Youth. By the next song though, you’re looking at a mind trip the likes of Avey Tare pairing up with “They Threw Us All in a Trench and Struck a Monument on Top” Liars.

Public Dims – Vent Somewhere Else

Public Dims – Vent Somewhere Else

Vent Somewhere Else by Public Dims I sit on a half assembled couch, sadly collapsing into the porch below, staring off aimlessly into the distance. You watch people stroll by in a daze, a blur of disillusions and plain exhaustion. It’s understandable and relatable, yet more importantly, I believe it demonstrates a certain sense of [...]

Stable Boys – Dionneing It

Dionneing it by Stable Boys Facebook appears to be one of my primary forms of receiving news now a days, sadly. Not particularly for world news, or business news, or anything along those lines: I still got The Economist, BBC, and Al Jazzera for that. But as far as music news, it helps. To illuminate [...]

Zorch – Cosmic Gloss/E.M.F.

I’ve always wanted to travel around the country. Yet honestly, Texas never made the cut as far as destinations worthy of going out to. Call it prejudices or pure ignorance but it felt like some kind of foreign country with it’s own customs, norms, and procedures. Most of that tends to be true, yet it [...]

Cousin Brian – 7″

Cousin Brian – 7″

I like moshing. I know i probably annoy the hell out of people around me when and if I start yet it feels like the best form of expression to the pure amount of energy surrounding you. You shake, you bounce, you ram into other bodies in a blur of sense and senselessness. Cousin Brian [...]

Gross Ghost’s Wicked Game

Gross Ghost’s Wicked Game

A tropical, lo-fi euphoria, it is both edgy yet far-reaching, taking influences that take at least a couple listens to catch. Monks, Gang of Four, and Tyvek with a far more psychedelic feel are some that come to mind but feel free to discover for yourselves. Here’s to a delightfully Wicked Game.

INTERVIEW: An Interview with DylDawg

INTERVIEW: An Interview with DylDawg

If you look up the word “God” in the dictionary, there is a picture of Sacramento dreamboat and epic beer-chugger DylDawg. I’ve known DylDawg for years, but have no real concept of him. Despite this, though, I refuse to delve; his mystery is precious, awe-inspiring, totally fucking awesome. He is a bit of an anomaly, [...]
