THURSDAY
:: spiral beach ::
[via myspace]
“Normally bands are adding elements of thrash, surf rock, or trance to pop and conventional rock but in this case Spiral Beach works only with the unconventional genres to get something very unique and very indie in nature.” -The Album Project

Chicago collective featuring members of Icy Demons & Mahjongg – analog synths and drumset – kraut-y & dance-y
“With the studious pitter-pat of fluid basslines, sophisticated rhythms, and chilly and cerebral atmosphere, it’s sound and feel will be familiar (especially to native Chicagoans), but this is more insistent and less heady — Chandeliers mostly want you to dance, in your own stilted, highly disciplined way.” –Pitchfork

“Seattle-based synth duo Brother Raven creates positive-vibe jams with vintage synths and keyboards. Formed by Jamie Potter and Jason E Anderson, the duo references experimental music of the late ’70′s.” -bio

psych/noise group from the UK & vets of the Portishead curated ATP festival celebrating the release of their new record with stateside dates
“Musically TF have taken influence from past masters such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Loop etc but their sound encompasses influence from modern experimental noise bands like The Skaters, Double Leopards & Emeralds” -Invada

FRIDAY
:: little lungs ::
[via myspace]
new-ish project splintered off from some of our favorite local / jersey punk bands
“Little Lungs manage to sound energetic but never angry, compassionate but never whiny, and do it in a style that is entirely their own. Some of the guitar work may sound familiar to fans of Lemuria, Discount, Jawbreaker, etc. Similarly, some of the rhythmic shifts and stop/starts might ring a bell. The awesomeness of this record, however, lies in the way that they’re able to combine elements in such an idosyncratic way. Top it off with not one but two awesome singers and this is a package that demands to be noticed.” -What We Hate

:: LEAVE HOME press release ::
“LEAVE HOME Binds varying linear structures with the sparkling connections between our souls and our soil. Home is dissected. As Brooklyn slowly transgresses into a development landmine, we hold on to the purity of bricks, concrete, our soil, our urban breeding ground, and the spurts of nature which trickle inbetween. Our identities, and our connections to our home, vary as much as our artistic renderings; but in the end converge into a collective act of visual chaos.
Originally from the concrete depths of New Jersey; Lauren Denitzio seems to have spent a lifetime fervently investing her creativity in punk rock. Aside from being the guitarist/vocalist for The Measure [sa] (New Brunswick, NJ), Denitzio has been creating artwork, of varying visual degrees under the moniker Black & Red Eye, using thoughtful linework, an eccentric and beautiful use of patterns, and textures foreign to atypical art supplies.
Through her art and writing, Cristy C. Road blends social principles, sexual deviance, mental inadequacies, and her Cuban, punk, and queer identities. Her preferred medium is Micron Ink pens, Sharpies, and Chartpak markers. Although, coloring techniques range from Markers, Fluid Acrylic, and occasional digital color for most commissioned work. Her obsession with making art accessible began when publishing GREEN’ZINE in 1996. This snowballed into years of illustrating for punk bands, magazines, non-profit organizations, and more. In the last five years Road has released Indestructible, an illustrated novel about adolescence, Distance Makes the Heart Grow Sick , a book postcards, and Bad Habits, her most recent illustrated novel about healing, self-change, and irresponsibility, and partying hard.
Often blurring feminist theory and art practice, Kate Wadkins is interested in the historical connection between women and birds. When she’s not drawing, Kate plays bass in Cheeky and works with For the Birds, a feminist collective and distro, curating DIY music and art shows and other creative feminist cultural happenings. She also writes for Maximum Rock’n’roll and Feminist Review.
Creating work under the studio heading No Guts No Glory, Tamara Waite-Santibanez is a printmaker and illustrator. Rooted firmly in DIY ethics and aesthetics, her work is created with as little help from computers or electric presses as possible, in an effort to adhere to a traditional printmaking practice and printmaking’s history as a democratic art form. When not creating gross-looking flatstock and other ephemera, Tamara spends her time at the Stolen Sleeves Collective and singing for an all-female hardcore band, Zombie Dogs.
Lauren, Cristy, Kate and Tamara all reside in Brooklyn, and tend to run into eachother every weekend.”
