SLUMBERLAND RECORDS (US)
Joanna Gruesome and Perfect Pussy release split single. Each band does one original song and one cover, and the single comes with a 24-page comic by Phil McAndrew. Listen to Joanna Gruesome’s Psykick Espionage. Order.
Allo Darlin’ release third LP. „We Come From The Same Place” is made up of smart, beautiful pop music, with lyrics that resonate with experience and melodies that chime, echo and soar. Have a listen to three songs from the album. Order. Also on Fortuna POP.
The Mantles new single. The Bay Area’s garage-pop greats The Mantles are back with a tweaked line-up featuring the swirling keyboards of Carly Putnam and the rock-solid bass of Matt Bullimore. „Memory” is an upbeat song that recalls some of the finest of the Paisley Underground bands.Listen to Memory. Order. Euro tour now.
The June Brides return with new EP. English pop legends The June Brides are back with their second single since re-forming back in 2011. The June Brides are true indie innovators, whose classic 80s records influenced everyone from The Smith/Morrissey to The Wedding Present and Belle & Sebastian. Smart, punk-influenced pop is the order of the day, bristling with jangly guitars, marvelous melodies and top-notch song-writing. Listen to Being There. Order.
Terry Malts have been exploring the murky area where hope meets disgust, an area populated with anger, hatred, exhaustion, delusion, seclusion, consumption, life, death, breathing, eating and a host of other conflicting and confusing ideas. Their records to date have a been a refreshing blast of catchy punk, pop-influenced but also chaotic, noisy, shredding. The Insides EP might be their most „pop” record yet, but don’t let that make you believe that they’ve given up on the blazing, verge-of-feedback guitars or pummeling rhythms. Listen to Let You In. Order.
The Aislers Set reissue their back catalog. Slumberland Records and Suicide Squeeze Records re-release all three albums from seminal indie-pop band The Aislers Set. The albums have been re-mastered. The band’s third album, „How I Learned To Write Backwards,” is available from Suicide Squeeze. Listen to songs from all three albums. Order.
SLOVENLY RECORDS (US)
GINO & THE GOONS – SHAKE IT (LP)
Gino and the Goons are the most unlikely band to have gotten any attention in the current shitpool of rock’n’roll posecrap. This is the album you wanted to be budget rock. This is the album you wanted to be dumb as fuck. This is the album that fails on both levels. This is the album that proves that Ramones worship doesn’t have to be predictable or generic. This is the album that proves that rock’N’roll doesn’t have a fashion, and that musical style rules supreme. PLAY LOUD cuz, cause you’re not likely to get this action for many years to come. R.I.P. Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy! Preview on Bandcamp and order
SICK THOUGHTS – Fat Kid (10″ EP)
Have you ever been to Hanover, PA? I’ve spent time there, and It’s WEIRD. Hanover is lousy with mongoloids /Juggalos and slack jawed farm people. Drew Owen, otherwise known as SICK THOUGHTS, was born there, and through the benevolent seer abilities of his dad was fortunate enough to escape to Baltimore, MD, currently ranked in the top 30 most dangerous cities in the USA. 17 years old Drew Owen has vinyl releases on labels from Italy (Goodbye Boozy), Sweden (Ken Rock), Zaxxon (Canada), and a few American imprints, including an upcoming single on Goner Records. Sick Thoughts channels GG and the Jabbers and Japanese noise with heavy negatory spirit on each track – a sonically screwed and
puberty drenched hatful of hateful punk rock sputum. Preview on Bandcamp and order
OVERGROUND RECORDS (UK)
The debut album from Steve Ignorant‘s new project Slice of Life, it’s very different from what you’d associate him with, but it’s a mighty fine album.
On the way home from the Australian & New Zealand Last Supper Tour in 2011; Carol, Pete and Steve Ignorant found themselves stranded due to the Chile ash cloud. During the long night gazing at the lights of Sydney reflecting on life while drinking beers, Slice Of Life was born. A far cry from the aggression of Crass maybe, with the songs in an acoustic setting of: piano, acoustic guitar and upright bass, Impossible to categorise, Slice Of Life’s first album is up-front and soul-baringly personal. It’s a mixture of songs and spoken word. Order
SINDERLYN RELEASES (US)
GIRL TEARS – TENSION (LP/CD/Cass). True to the spirit of punk, LA trio Girl Tears breathe life back into the genre of the one-minute song. Armed with a voice after David Johansen’s own heart, Kam Andresen’s vocals harmonize seamlessly with razor-sharp riffs on signature blink-and-you’ll-miss-it length tracks. Listen Here Order
HOMESHAKE is the solo project of Montreal-based Peter Sagar. Having previously recorded with Mac DeMarco, Sagar debuts with In the Shower. The special edition of this soothing album, with its smooth bass and groovy, jazz undertones, is pressed on blue vinyl and includes alternate silk-screened cover. Listen Here Order
ANTIQUATED FUTURE RECORDS (US)
Tucker Theodore – „Kill and Dress” LP – Demons being exorcised and caught on tape. Pop melodies covered with layers of grit. Bedroom classic rock, experimental folk, tape machine noise. An Inanambulance Recordings/Antiquated Future Records split release. Listen. Order
Deerhoof is Deerhoof
„All sorts of stupid phrases have been said for their music, e.g.: experimental, avantgarde, noise, art rock, but Deerhoof is just one of the best pop bands in the world.” – RNR666
Deerhoof is a base, a point of comparison. I have gathered some „Deerhoof-like”, „Deerhoofesque” or „Deerhoof positive” artists from RNR666
Gentle Friendly – „It’s noisy, with keyboards, you wouldn’t like it.” Very playful experimental pop. Maybe like the early Animal Collective. Or Deerhoof.
Roze & The Rice Cakes – Funny, playful, jazzy. It brings the Deerhoof to my mind. On other sites this is called art rock.
Blanche Blanche Blanche – Experimental pop like Zappa or Deerhoof or something similar.
Joy As A Toy – They mention Talking Heads, Stereolab, Mr. Bungle and Deerhoof like same style music. Playful eclectic progressive pop.
Binidu – They’re high above the indie rock category. His music comes to my mind the Deerhoof and the French band is comparable to them. Fresh and playful music.
Papeye – Indie hard rock from France. The sound is similar to Deerhoof (I love) and Don Caballero (I don’t like).
Orval Carlos Sibelius – French multi-instrumentalist, who make music in really various styles from abstract electroinc dance to psych folk pop. His music often comes the world of Deerhoof in my mind.
Their 13th album La Isla Bonita will be released on 4 November by Polyvinyl Records (US). It was recorded live, DIY style, during „a weeklong sleepover arguing over whether to try and sound like Joan Jett or Janet Jackson
Deerhoof formed as a drum’n’bass duo in San Francisco in 1994. In 1995 Satomi Matsuzaki joined them as a singer within a week of arriving in the United States from Japan without any band experience, and went on tour only a week later… Later she would be the bass player too. And a guitar player is there too, not of course. If you want more music click
Saul Conrad in Budapest Again!
The American musician Saul Conrad plays „hard to categorize”, perhaps „experimental chamber pop” or „other” music on piano and guitar with surprising key changes, nonsensical rhythmic shifts, overlapping melodies, and folk elements.
His third album (read about!) – which is more popular than previous two (listen to!) – was influenced by Kirkegaard and William Blake, Townes van Zandt and Blaze Foley, Harry Nilsson and Syd Barret, and more.

Blues musician Johnny Farmer after he accidentally shot his wife instead of a deer
Blues is the devil’s music. It brings a curse on everyone who plays it and then you burn in hell.
Dead Mall Blues
„I’m tired of American bands that sound like they’ve listened to more New Order than Howlin’ Wolf or Hank Williams.” – John Schooley
The harmonica player Walter Daniels and guitarist John Schooley have been shadowy figures in the rock n’ roll underground for a combined forty years. Daniels was mixing blues with punk rock as far back as 1992 with Austin, Texas combo Jack O’ Fire, alongside the Big Boys’ Tim Kerr. He recorded with the Oblivians the Melissa’s Garage Revisited LP (1999), but recorded and performed live with everyone from James Williamson to Eugene Chadbourne, most recently lending his harp to the OBN III’s for their latest album. John Schooley is known as a root rock’n’roll one man band (but he is also member in The Revelators). His first single was among Goner’s first records, and another cult label, Voodoo Rhythm also released his records. It’s a meaningful fact that he toured with blues legend R.L. Burnside as his guitarist.
Now the two together on one, exclusively acoustic album, titled Dead Mall Blues. It’s mainly a selection from the American songbook. 8 from the 10 songs
We Got To Meet Death One Day by Blind Willie McTell (1898-59)
Poor Willie lost his eyesight in his childhood. Soon after lost his father, then his mother, so went whither he could. Wandered in Georgia with his 12 strings guitar. His records were frequently released between 1927 and 35, but under different names because he signed exclusive contracts with concurrent labels… It was a generally established custom at that time. After his record of 1949 he became itinerant musician again. In 1956 a record shop owner recognized him at a corner in Atlanta. The man lured him to his shop with a bottle of corn whiskey. During some shows his last tracks were recorded there.

In the Greek mythology, after her husband had left her, Medea killed their sons.
In the Hungarian reality Médeia Fiai (Sons of Medea) play
darkly shaded monochrome music, it’s like these three pretty different bands:
Swans, Woven Hand, Einstürzende Neubauten.
der Tanz: darkly shaded chaos punk. Tod Cklorox and His Band: darkly shaded.
