Duplodeck - CS



Amazing 90's indie rock inspired band from Brazil. Echoes of Pavement, The Pixies, Deerhoof and some early Gerbils could be heard in all this fuzzy goodness. Pug Records is offering the digital version for free or you could buy the very well worth it cassette version which has amazing art work.

Thousands - S/T


Thanks goes to Omar K. for this one. It's not often I see a band email me such a sincere message....

Thousands is an intensely epic post-rock band out of Boston. They give me Godspeed You! Black Emperor vibes and at times even Orchid vibes (before the build up to all the screaming of course, see "...And the Cat Turned To Smoke" for an example of what I mean). Nothing but amazing music is what I sense from these guys. I would love a little more experimentation in the form of Godspeed's field recordings but that might be too derivative.... either way well worth downloading.

Rabble Rabble



Rabble Rabble recorded with producer Stephen George at Gimme That Sound Studios during the band's east coast summer tour of 2010. The recordings will be available on vinyl and digitally Monday, May 23rd. In celebration, the band headlines @ Empty Bottle, Chicago that night with We Are Hex and Distractions supporting; FREE show!


The first single, "Why Not", is a raunchy garage stomper that's perfect for any dingy punk pub. Mix in a little psychedelic rock guitar solo and you've got a pretty good mix.

"L
ong Hook" sets it off with manically spuddering guitars that evolve into another mind melting psychedelic guitar solo. Looking forward to what else these guys have to offer with their new record out this month.

Honeycomb Bones - Evil Age



Fun garage rock sent over by Craig. It's pretty straight forward garage rock - ruff around the edges and lots of fuzz. What more could you ask for? Hope to see more from these fellows.

Spectre Alone - Demo



Awesome grindcore/hardcore punk. Similar in style to Jerome's Dream - in fact, it seems like the vocalist for Spectre Alone is also screaming sans mic? At any rate it's worth a listen if you miss Jerome's Dream and want more awesome grindcore/screamo/hardcore punk in your life.
