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..."

Bobby Ubangi - Another Girl Like You 7'' & Inside the Mind of Bobby Ubangi [2009]

from DOUCHEMASTER:

"Bobby Ubangi is the epitome of fundamental rock n' roll. Active ingredients on this one include: house, four track, instruments that touring bands accidentally left at previously mentioned house, and friends with rudimentary playing skills that like to hang out at previously mentioned house. Short and simple has been Bobby's style for years, and he's sticking to his guns. D~M~R is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Ubangi, as he has been an absolute inspiration to us and the Atlanta music scene. We love you, Bobby!"

from ROB's HOUSE RECORDS:

Atlanta's champion craftsman of the three-chord garage sing-a-longs goes by the name of bobby ubangi and this record is a rare trip inside the same mind that brought you the lids and the gaye blades. recorded on 4 track, the most humblest of DIY methods, the tracks range from lo fi rockers to sappy garage tear jerkers but with guest appearances by old king cole younger (black lips), jared swilley (black lips), king khan, gentleman jesse, and many others 'inside the mind of' is anything but simple. the LPs 12 track pack a punch and attest to the wonders an able song writer can do with just three simple chords!

Demon's Claws - Weird Ways 7'' [2009]

from ROB's HOUSE RECORDS:

"Weird Ways" is a Jeff Clark song, and is actually a quite beautiful country crooner with piano about the wiles of the fairer sex, of course. Makes me think of 'The Last Waltz' for some reason. Wait...are Demon's Claws the modern equivalent of The Band? Kinda makes sense. "9000 Feets" is a Pat B. compostion, and has more confident and heavyfooted rock in its sound but still lies firmly in the prairie overall. Really intimate feel brings these tracks home with that little extra something that makes me like this quite a bit more than the past few singles...
