LIFE STINKS – Portraits 7″ on Total Punk Records (US)

San Francisco’s kings of misanthropy are back with two drummers.
When the band formed all members selected instruments they had never played before.
In the manner of Flipper, Stooges, Germs and Velvet Undergound.
But what were the first steps on this way?
– Chad (singer, also in Outdoorsmen): I heard “Beat On The Brat” on the radio
when was fourteen or so and went, “Whoa!”
– Vinnie (drums): I was hanging in my friend’s garage one evening smoking pot
and drinking 40s, and my friend at the time, Jon Scott, brought in this tape
he had dubbed off his brother and we listened to it about thirty times in a row.
It was Minor Threat’s discography.
Later that night when we were done hanging out
I broke into the garage and stole the tape.

LUMPY & THE DUMPERS – Bat 7″ also on Total Punk

St.Louis Blues Trash in D-Beat, 1-2-fuck-u

CROSSS is a Canadian proto-metal/psych garage hard rock band. And they are really great! Their two split vinyls, a 7″ with garage punk band Astral Gunk

and an 8″ with garage punk band Soupcans, (but in this case their song is like an early Hellhammer track)

were released recently. The first on Pleasence, the second one on Bruised Tongue Records.

Jazz singer Little Jimmy Scott died at his age of 88. His most famous performance was in the last episode of Twin Peaks, where he has sung Sycamore Trees. Lyrics: David Lynch, Music: Angelo Badalamenti

He suffered from Kallmann’s syndrome, a rare hereditary condition, that preventing him from reaching puberty, he stopped growing, and his voice never changed from a boy soprano’s. He got his start singing in the church choir. He first rose to fame when he sang lead in the Lionel Hampton Band for 1950’s hit „Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool.” He went in solo in 1951. Along the way, he gained the praise of such peers as Ray Charles, Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson. His career faded by the late 1960s and he returned to his native Cleveland to work as a hospital orderly, shipping clerk and as an elevator operator in a hotel. He came back in the limelight in the 1990s through Lou Reed, who recruited him to sing back-up vocals on his song „Power and Glory” on his album Magic and Loss.  Throughout his six-decade-plus career, Scott also performed with the likes of Michael Stipe, Antony & the Johnsons, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan, Charles Mingus and Quincy Jones, among many others.

My Street – dubstep remix by DJ Lucza

One rnr666 boss Pali said that Nathan Loud Fag Cop singer’s new songs are „very mucking good!” Lo-fi garage punk rattling straight from the basement

Fag Cop (sometimes Ex-Fag Cop) is a raw punk band in the middle of the States in Lawrence, Kansas, where the most viable musical life is to be found between Chicago and Denver – was written by New York Times in 2005. Maybe it is a side-effect of a nuclear attack by Soviets in 1983. Yes, nuclear attack, of course. It was televised.

Free singles by Swiss/Canadian art-punk band PETER KERNEL. These songs are like the cross of (Dutch folk punk) The Ex and The Breeders.

Taken from the upcoming album Thrill Addict out in January 2015. Free from here

One of the two key members is the bassist Barbara Lehnhoff, with whom you can read an interview with reference to her amazing electronic side project, Camilla Sparksss here. Peter Kernel was formed because there was need of a soundtrack for her film.

CRETIN STOMPERS are from Memphis, members of Jay Retard Band, Barbaras, Wavves, Big Muff Radio. Their debut album „Looking Forward To Being Attacked” is out now on Hozac Records (US).

Garage – sure, rock – naturally, punk – of course. Not raw or hard, but simple and sweetly rough, sometimes psychedelic, with drum machine and nice Japanese pop style vocal and tunes, with covers from The Styrenes and Dave Brock (Hawkwind). Sometimes turns into chaos. Vivid. Cretin. A-ha, oh yeah.

Notorious experimental noise-hop band
Death Grips has made his new double album
