Waylon Thornton - Paranormal High School

I couldn't help it! I decided to post an extra album from White Moon Recordings. This one is very special though.....it's Waylon Thornton sans The Heavy Hands. He's also the one running White Moon Recordings with his Wife and partner in crime and music. Recorded during the Witching Hour (don't you love all the occult references! I do!), which is anywhere from midnight to 6am in some cases. Not the Waylon most of you are used to, it's very stripped down and mellow but still very spooky. Awesome change of pace and I'm really looking forward to his second installment in the Paranormal High School series!

Lost Boy? - MTV

Another Lost Boy album for you kids. If you guys enjoyed the last Lost Boy album I posted then definitely download MTV (released by White Moon Recordings). Nothing really too different from his past albums, but I can say he's gotten a lot better - but what do you expect, this guy has released more albums than anyone could handle (and all of them are free!), and it's obviously paying off when it comes to his sound. There are some old favorites of mine on this album (Grim Reaper, Taste Butter, Ice Cream Man).

A Duck Named Ping - The Dirty Queen and The Coming Clean

I didn't want to like this, but it ended up being enjoyable. Not really sure what to write - either because I'm speechless or just not well versed in this genre of music (maybe a little of both?). It's just really simple, melancholy, piano-based songs. The artist resides in Richmond (which I believe Nerve City does as well when he's not in Miami!). I get the same heavy feeling when I listen to this that I do when I listen to Daniel Johnston....it's a sort of "not wanting to look at a car crash but you end up looking anyway" feeling...

This is part of the releases that White Moon Recordings sent me, one more to come plus a special surprise post!

Ghost Coast - Draft Dodgers

Every now and then someone sends me something truly remarkable....and this is that 'something'. Waylon, from the band Waylon Thornton and The Heavy Hands, is running a label called White Moon Recordings - this is one of the bands he features. They're a couple of high school kids from Texas who make this incredibly fuzzy, grimey, lo-fi garage country-twang music that is just fucking incredible! Very similiar to Nerve City. and Pipsqueak! (how odd that both bands have punctuation in their names...) but not in a derivative way. This band needs to put out a record soon if they haven't already, they would blow up for sure...

Lil Daggers - Unmastered Demos

South Florida is just thriving with awesome music lately. These guys just released (or will soon, not sure) their King Corpse (Korpse? I've seen different sources with different spellings) 7". I came across this, which is the same release just unmastered, and it still sounds fucking amazing! These guys rival the Jacuzzi Boys in terms of raw, unfiltered garage punk energy. They accompany the broody vocals with a creepy church organ and stomping drums. All tracks on this 7" are completely amazing, however, Devil You Know is too fucking good!

"I like my drinking ffffffffffast, and my dancing slooooooooooooow"!

Bunker Hill - Singles Collection

Former gospel singer with a roaring voice as strong Metatrons' (get it? gospel singer, bible joke?). I've only come across something that was released so early and still heavy and punk-like as this a few times (Los Saicos and The Phantom)....

This is a collection of his singles I've gathered and compiled into one zip file for you guys. One of the singles, Friday Night Dance Party is credited towards Link Wray, but since it's Bunker Hill that's singing (Link rarely sings) I figured I'd add it on anyway.....it's also my favorite one, so....

At any rate, enjoy!
