FRIDAY
:: pterodactyl ::

[via thepiratehat]
“Worldwild recalls the rhythms of Can, the resounding collisions of Boredoms, even the Liars mystic drum patters. The album flies by in under 37 minutes, but the effort is stunningly cohesive, making seamless transitions from track to track, marching in lock step to some innate sense of pounding rhythm and boiling blood.” -PopMatters

[via their site]
“The Fucking Ocean are seriously fucking refreshing: they’ve taken cues from Mark E. Smith and Ian MacKaye alike to produce biting, sincere post-punk that’s nigh anomalous in American music.” -San Francisco Bay Guardian

SATURDAY
:: cougar den ::

[via myspace]
“Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the guys and girl deliver a refreshing and innovative break from a hardcore scene rife with chugs and breakdowns. Schmidt’s knack for writing impressive yet accessible riffs sets him apart from a slew of players bent on recreating clichés.” -Punknews

:: slingshot dakota ::

[via myspace / john reiss]
“Slingshot Dakota has stripped down their lineup and sound for their long-awaited second full-length, but in doing so has given themselves a more defined, rigid indie pop sound that showcases Carly Commando’s sparking vocals and creative and diverse keyboard melodies — sometimes pristine, sometimes fluttering. These elements were likely standouts early on in Slingshot’s existence, and being pushed to the forefront just makes Their Dreams Are Dead, But Ours Is the Golden Ghost! all the more honest and enjoyable.” -Punknews

[via myspace / Ryan Bach]
“Cloud Mouth is one of those few modern punk bands that have shown me that punk rock has not been entirely reduced to your typical mohawk’d idiot still screaming about George W. Bush over some boring, Marshall driven 3 chord riff ripped from some shitty Causalities song and that it’s still full of genuine ideas, energy, and people who have discovered that punk rock is whatever you make it out to be.” -Lifesabummer
