BBIGPIGG - DIN-DIN (2015)




















I could swear I posted this a while back. It recently came across my desk, and I was like, oh yeah that's on the blog. But when I looked, it wasn't there. Damnit!
So here it is for reals!

Erupting from Brooklyn’s guts like a cultural vomiting fit, bbigpigg’s ferocious SEWER-PUNK sound leaves audiences with ringing ears and the best kind of bad taste in their mouths. Mixing “noise” and “rock” in equal measure, bbigpigg’s blunt, pulverizing knuckledusters crossbreed The Jesus Lizard’s airtight rhythm section with Arab on Radar’s haywire guitar-work, invoking an ugly, groove-heavy commotion far catchier than it has any right to be.

BIRTHDAY GIRL - PEEL (2015)




















New 4-song thingy from Oakland's, Birthday Girl.
I posted their demo here a while back.
This continues where that left off, with more dirgy noise punk ala Drunks With Guns and/or Flipper.

Brand new shit from Blacklisters! Goddamn these guys are the cats pajamas!!!

'68 - IN HUMOR AND SADNESS (2014)




















Just discovered these guys and gawd-dayam they're goooood!!
A duo from Atlanta, GA that are loud, disruptive, chaotic, exploding!
Mash The Bronx, Nirvana and Shellac into an insane little noise punk package of pow!

Honestly, I don't know how big these guys are.
Generally I try to stick with the smaller unknowns 'round these parts...
so I apologize if these guys are huge Hasselhoffs in some parts 'round the globe and I'm unaware.
But this shit's the bombastic bomb-o-rama, and fit here just aok!

VANDAL X - ALL LINED UP AGAINST THE WALL (2008)



















Pummeling, destroying, crushing, annihilating, damaging, scarring.
How do just 2 people make this thick of a ruckus?
Unsane sounding shit from Vandal X, who obviously got their name from the Unsane song.
I only assume that actually.... You need this shit!!!

CASUS BELLI - TAILGUNNRANGELES (1994)




















You fucking love this stuff... as do I.
Casus Belli features Anthony Martin, who was in Bastards, and also worked with Chokebore.
This is just the heavy, ugly, noisy thud that you expected from Amrep in the mid-90s.
This be their only full length. Get ready to get your head schmacked!!
(Amrep - 1994)

DL: TAILGUNN

TWIN LORDS - DEVASTATING PLANETARY SHIFT (2015)



















2-piece from NY. One part Lightening Bolt, one part Nomeansno, and one part Bastard Noise, Twin Lords play a punishing mix of swirling, melodic, progressive, heavy-as-hell metal rooted in insane bass riffs and blast-off drumming.

GONE BALD - WAITING IT OUT (2010)




















I'll admit, the cover art misleads. No, this is NOT a ska album, as much as it looks like it.
You should know by now that I wouldn't do that to you guys.
This is a noise/indie influenced rocking band from Amsterdam that has been kicking around for 20 years! Wow! Maybe they were called Going Bald back then. (Heh heh).

Anyway, they play a buzzsaw style of rock with influences pulled from the Albini Instruction manual. Throw in some Sebadoh, Truman's Water, and Big'n, and this should slap your face into a rubbery, stretchy, pliable putty.

WHITEY - THE WHITEY ALBUM (2007)




















This is Andy Newman's post-Glazed Baby project.
It's noisy like Glazed Baby, but has some bluesy aspects swirling within.
No this has nothing to do with Sonic Youth either, which is what mostly comes up when searching for this. Definitely 'must have' shit.
(SF Recordings - 2007)
