FRIDAY

:: S.S.P.S. ::

[via FreeWilliamsburg]

“Taking his cue from German minimalist house, SSPS is equal parts dirty beats and experimental sound exploration. Often marrying the two can prove challenging to create something with substance, SSPS was up to the task–ladling abstract vocals over a dark, dance backbone.” -FreeWilliamsburg

:: moonstone continuum ::

[via myspace]

“We’ll adorn Moonstone with “most exciting new band in years” sash. Because they are. Flat out. No questions. Some of you might have seen them at Heliotrope, others might have seen them at the handful of shows they’ve played at venues and houses across town. And most of you probably haven’t seen them at all. Moonstone is an unholy marriage of prog rock and electro– powered by a driving beat, their virtuosic musicianship soars.” -CityPages

SATURDAY

:: rot shit ::

[via myspace]

“Overblown and hilarious in its nature – think Angry Samoans, Nip Drivers, and all the comedy that punk can feasibly contain. Hyper-referential songs about emotional-chromosome-dunted topics like the hermetically-sealed world of record collectors and every insecurity they’ve endured in the last year, be they limited pressings, “weird punk,” DJ nights, or the Internet … This is how you take command, folks. Pay attention.” -Dusted

:: blues control ::

[via myspace]

“As a live band, they’re keenly focused on distorted blues, reverb-drenched string bends, and smeared, elastic pentatonic runs layered over a bed of scattered piano chords and dub-like drum machines. The band can be both quite heavy, with Russ Waterhouse’s affected guitar weaving beguiling lines over Lea Cho’s murky grooves, and quite light, as the music’s key elements remain distinguishable within the lingering sonic ephemera.” -Tiny Mix Tapes

[via myspace]

basically everything they’ve released is sold out, but expect a new LP out via Load Records in the next couple months

“Featuring nothing but guitar, drums, and a singer who spits out equally venomous and vile lyrics, the whole package is basically a match made in heaven for those that can’t really get enough of bands like Rusted Shut, Cherubs, and Royal Trux. I imagine you’ll either be really glad you listened to this or musically offended. Either way, that probably is a compliment to Drunkdriver.” -Built on a Weak Spot

:: home blitz ::

[via last.fm]

“What if Daniel Johnston, The Dead Milkmen and Jad Fair all had a crazy baby made of three sets of seed? Home Blitz, that’s what would happen. Super Lo-Fi pop-rock for people who just can’t seem to completely leave their hyperactivity locked away.” -Last.fm
