Merry christmas!

Hi! Merry christmas and all that! It's been a bit slow here these few days, but hey, it's the holidays! We have some more music to post on the blog and we'll be right on it just as soon as we sober up. In the meanwhile here are our end year lists of top albums, singles, ep's, gigs and stuff like that!

Purple Mercy - Purple Mercy LP [2009]

This record is pure masterpiece. It will be sure on my top 2009 list. Guys from PM are all about getting too high to die and worshiping Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard & Sleep while simultaneously fornicating with Black Flag (post-Damaged era) sound.

Grab your vinyl here. (It's on sale!!!)

Paintbox - "Trip, Trance & Travelling" 2xLP [2009]

Paintbox is a Japanese hardcore band featuring ex-members of Death Side.

from PRANK:

"The Third LP from Tokyo's PAINTBOX was almost ten years in the making is finally available on Vinyl. Combing the ferocity of Japanese hardcore with influences from across the music spectrum-Classic rock, J-Pop, Psychedelia and more- this double LP is an almost 70 minute journey through a myriad of emotions and soundscapes that stretches the concept of a hardcore LP to it's limit in a way only Japanese legends PAINTBOX could."

The Hussy

The Hussy are a duo from Madison, Wisconsin. Bobby hits the guitar and Heather strums the drums. They share the vocal duties and play catchy garage punk with hooks that'll get stuck in your head for hours after listening and the songs will get you dancing like a moron from the first beat! They released a couple of 7''s this year [a split with SLEEPING IN THE AVIARY on SCIENCE OF SOUND RECORDS, and a six song EP - WINTER DAZE on the Netherland based A FISTFUL OF RECORDS].

WINTER DAZE - RS [mediafire.com is down for some reason so rapidshare will have to do for now]

They have a couple of records coming out in 2010. A split release with THE ZYGOTEENS on BIG ACTION RECORDS and a split cassette with BAD COP on JEFFREY DRAG RECORDS.

Round and Round - from the Zygoteens split
On the Cover - from the Bad Cop split

They are playing lots of shows in the US this winter so go check them out live if you have the chance.

Check their MYSPACE for more info.

Predator - Honest Man 7" [2009]

from 7 inch Atlanta:

"Predator's debut EP is a blast of three-chord punk rock that draws from the same American hardcore and punk influences that guided The Carbonas and Frantic when they first burst on the scene. The band features Mike (bass) and Brannon (guitar) from Frantic and Beat Beat Beat sharing vocal duties. They are backed by drummer John Necro, who is good enough to play with a bunch of shredding metal dudes but doesn't mind playing back-to-basics punk. The salvo opens with "Honest Man" and its angst-filled vocals. The flipside features two brief blasts of hardcore in "DLDD" and "No". When I say hardcore, I mean American classics like The Zero Boys..."

Out on Rob's House. Buy single here.

Biblical Violence - Bib Vio CS [2009]

Lovro's been trashin' in his own room for quiet a while now. Biblical Violence is a vision of a straightXedge dude who describes his music as "BAD BRAINS BEING SUCKED THROUGH A VACUUM". I personally think it's more like a "winged lizard" AKA pterodactyl chasing you and screaming at you (with his high pitched voice) until you're deaf, all yellow & green and frightened to death and all of the terror is caught on tape. Maybe you'll love it, maybe you'll hate it but if you're into it you can get the tape from Skrot Up who released Lovro's vision of acousmatic garage\post-punk.

See what some other guy from Digital Industries thinks of Bib Vio:

"It begins with a jab of bass, drums, and vitriolic hollering. Sound quality ensures the song is little more than a muddy husk. From these unsavory first steps, Croatia’s Biblical Violence soon get downright malevolent. The next piece is rasping and demonic vocal incantations buried under monolithic and impenetrable keyboards. Then comes ramshackle darkwave with a coating of ear and face rending sonics. The tape peaks with rippling pools of bile and depth charged pulse implosions and concludes with a couple breakneck punk clatterings to take it home. For a double A side with only about twelve minutes of music, “Bib Vio” has an impressive amount of variety and the array of sounds all share a pitted, rancid, homicidal core. 8/10"

Also, Skrot Up tapes are available from Tomentosa Records (US), Fan Death (US), Fusetron (US), Bis Auf's Messer (Germany) and Repo Man Records in Copenhagen.

And yeah, Lovro's been doin' some album covers, gig posters and illustrations and you can see some of his works here.

VIRUS THREAT!

It has come to our atention [STATIC FUZZ shoutbox] that the PURE EVIL [2009] rar file showed infected files on a virus scan. I have no idea how that happend, since i have no idea how to infect something with a virus, except when sneazing or caughing in it's face. The old link has been removed and the new one is on the way. Mediafire says that 13 people downloaded the file before I removed it so if you are one of them please scan your computer. We are truly sorry if someone had greater problems because of this.

And get PURE EVIL because it's a great album.

Hope you still trust us with our links. We'll do our best to prevent things like that from happening ever again.

Southside Stranglers concerts!

I kind of found out late about this, but, Southside Stranglers, one of my favourite new bands are playing some shows these days:

Dec 17, 2009 8:00 PM - JR’s Bar

Dec 18, 2009 7:00 PM - House show

Dec 19, 2009 7:00 PM - gallery 5 [this show is with LADIES, GG KING, CLOAK/DAGGER and SCHOOL JERKS]

Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands - Pure Evil [2009]

Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands are Waylon and Meg, a husband and wife duo from Gainsville, Florida. Pure Evil is their latest release on their own WHITE MOON RECORDINGS. It's ten songs of primitive garage rock n' roll with lot's of reverb which gives it a nice eerie, b-movie horror flick kind of vibe. A great soundtrack for fighting zombies, mummies, vampires and 50ft. women!

Bad Sports - Bad Sports [2009]

from Douchemaster:

"Bad Sports are a three piece that features TV's Daniel from Wax Museums and Greg Rutherford from High Tension Wires. Bad Sports are a bit more playful, but don't be surprised if this record reminds you slightly of The Reds or the first Marked Men LP."

Dávila 666 - Primero Muerta 7'' [2009]

from INSOUND:

Impeccably clean production with such lavish songwriting from south-of-the-border party animals like these would normally be a polarizing combination of attributes, but rest assured, Davila 666 is on the fast track to modern pop notoriety, as this single will soon attest.

The Yolks - The Yolks [2009]

from BUDDYHEAD:

Well, think of the Yolks as Chicago’s version of the Milkshakes. They got a primitive, early 60s garage rock sound, a mix of early Kinks, that Beatles live at the star club LP, mixed up in a blender with Supercharger, the Oblivions, and countless Billy Childish records.

Sex Church - Sex Church 7" [2009]

from Weird Canada

"Canada’s modern-psychedelic scene is re-emerging, painted new colours and worshiping new Gods. Gone are the pretenses of 60s pop-lysergia; in its place we gladly fall before false idols and re-hashed idioms. And why not? When it’s done well, we put our minds on a true trip thru hell. Sex Church easily accomplishes this with their mix of doomy, pedantic guitar drones and gothic romanticism; parsing liturgy and psych in a bewildering and addictive way. The songs are long, depressing and mesmerizing; perfect musical beds for basement-evenings in your teenage vortex. And if that all made sense, they throw in a pop-punk ballad for the last minute of Dead End; nothing is ever too easy anymore."

Flight - Flight 10" [2009]

from KILL SHAMAN

"Mississippi’s one-man band Flight is back with his second ever release, a self-titled 10″ EP on Kill Shaman. A perfect medley of 70’s glam, 80’s punk and 60’s psych, Flight applies a fist-pumping lo-fi  pop sensibility that is over-distorted, punchy, and punk as fuck. Contains four distinct tracks that completely distinct and kills the inner ear. With the volume turned up to the max, this blown-out and distorted piece of wax will be sure to please any fans of Live Fast Die, Cheap Time, Jesus and Mary Chain and anything else that shreds while maintaining a deeply seeded sense of pop-punk. Think of it as the perfect medium for early 90’s fuzz-gaze and 70’s glam punk."

Retainers - Waste of Time 7'' [2009]

from RAZORCAKE:

Let's be honest, there's not a whole hell of a lot in punk rock these days that is exactly capable of "knocking your dick in the dirt." Two quick blasts of lo-fi and totally blown out KBD-influenced punk rock from this prolific outfit. The songs are loud, abrasive, and a bit loose and jangly. The Retainers do what any worthwhile punk does: they come on loud and fast and cut it short before you even have time to collect your thoughts, although the tempo change on the B-side, "Die Baby Die," allows for some introspection, but still...

Mean Jeans - Are You Serious? [2009]

from BUDDYHEAD:

So every 10 or 15 years or so you get a band that takes the tired Ramone’s core formula and actually breathes fresh life into it. I’m talking bands such as Screeching Weasel, early Queers, Head, The Spits, Sloppy Seconds, and so on. Besides the bands that I just mentioned you have about a zillion clones of the same genre who just miss the mark or who just flat out suck. Well now we have one more band who does this formula justice and is here to save us from the ashes of our own depression. I am talking about a band that is gonna bring you back to the party make you drink till your stupid, pass out in your own vomit, and not feel bad about it the next day! The Mean Jeans are here to rescue you!

Boys Club - Boys Club [2009]

from THREE DIMENSIONAL RECORDS:

This album has been two (or is it three? or maybe four?) years in the making, and it shows. This is a more definitive, crafted statement of what we're about than any of our singles (all of which were recorded less than a year after we formed) and the result is a really fun, memorable pop album that's the perfect soundtrack to your next shirts-off Ghetto Predator get-together, group grope, clam bake, drunken slip 'n' slide sesh, or just barricading yourself in your record room and blasting records by your lonesome. In other words, if not an outright party record, it's at least a record that feels like a party.

With two acclaimed seven-inches under their belt, The Mantles answer the call for more with a stunning debut LP sure to please all who cross its path. The Mantles have been dead-on in distilling a contemporary pop / psych concoction that mixes equal parts early Chills with early Dream Syndicate--and really, who among us wouldn't want a bottle of that with which to quietly tipple the day away?

Sedatives - Sedatives LP [2009]

from DERANGED

"SEDATIVES do it dark, desperate, and minimal. An archaic sound from the gothic ages of punk...when punk was catchy, but also dangerous. Going back to the three chord song, with downstrokes, vicious energy, and the two minute deadline. Sacred by the organ, it's night church in the post apocalyptic wasteland. Their first LP and follow-up to their debut EP on Going Gaga/P.Trash Records."

As Crook's new primary musical vehicle, Lover! exceeds all expectations from this one-time member of such projectile punk pioneers, Reatards and Lost Sounds."
