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!

Out on DIRTNAP records. BUY IT NOW cause this is THE BEST RECORD OF THE YEAR. :D

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.

The Mantles - The Mantles [2009]

from SILTBREEZE:

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 - Human Beings 7" [2009]

from TAKING BY SURPRISE

"Two song 7" by the great Sedatives from Ottawa, that's the the capital of Canada, yeah you better believe it, victims of geography...Their previous 7" (Going Gaga / P.Trash) and their new self titled full length LP (Deranged / P.Trash) are solid gold. On this new 45 they jerk out two catchy as hell KBD styled smashers recorded the night Michael Jackson died! Short, fast and snotty, with a Sedatives attitude."

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."

Wizzard Sleeve - Make The World Go Away LP [2009]

from HOZAC RECORDS

"Just as the harrowing chill of summer's slow death drifts across the land, the skin-crawling death-punk masterpiece debut LP from Alabama's confederate glue-wave goth 'tards, Wizzard Sleeve hits the shelves and drags all the sinister vibrations from the ugly side of psychedelia right up front where it belongs. As their influences have cited, and the self-described trinity of Chrome, Crime and Creedence settles into place in your chemically damaged skull."

Lover! - No Dreams Please EP [2009]

from BIG LEGAL MESS

"Memphis' underdog pop star Rich Crook has found his true calling: delicately desecrating the three-minute rule in hit songwriting, and exploding forth with an unprecedented susceptibility that still brandishes it's dimly flickering punk roots in between hot flashes. 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."
