KURT - LA GUARD (2002)

Did you like that last post, Ten Volt Shock? Of course you did. Then of course you should dig this as well. Similar style wrock and wroll shredding you a new arse. Also features members that went on to form Ten Volt Shock. Ahhhh. Now it all comes together. Like a whirling death machine... with some assembly required.

TEN VOLT SHOCK - STRASBOURG (2013)

High energy, brute force and intricate and intelligent noise rock intensity. Ten Volt Shock is a 3 piece from Germany and this slab of noise rock goodness is their fifth full length ass kicker. Walloping bass, machine gun rhythms, clangy, bashing guitars and gruff vocals will lay waste to the room in seconds.
If you're into The Austerity Program, Shellac, Glazed Baby, New Brutalism, then this should grab your goodies.

COTTAGING - MISE EN ABYME 7" (2014) & NIGHTSHADING (2013)

Cottaging seeps out of the dark vapor abyss with drugged out and spaced out caterwauling, with plenty of crunchy rhythms and delay-drenched vocals. Untrustworthy curmudgeons ingesting Chrome & Helios Creed and spewing aural shit over the Northeast Corridor. Its fun to take a trip!

BAGUETTE - SEXYSEXY123 (2014)

Debut EP of the Austrian noise rock duo Baguette.
5 songs that kick out the jams as angular and sludgy versions of Pissed Jeans, Hammerhead, Butthole Surfers and Lightning Bolt. Soundtrack to crawling naked across the Sahara Desert with all kinds of drugs and booze flowing through your system. Sounds like a typical weekend eh?

COP SHOOT COP - HEADKICK FACSIMILE (1989)

Ok I really want to get all, or at least most of the Cop Shoot Cop stuff up here. And since I just posted the first single, here's their first album (if you call 6 songs an album). Makes sense, yes?
This stuff is so important and still holds up in my opinion today. You youngsters, pay attention.

COP SHOOT COP - PIECE MAN (1989)

First 3-song EP from ground (and groin) breaking post-punk/ industrial/ noise group Cop Shoot Cop from NYC.
(Sorry, I typed 'groin' by accident, but decided to keep it in there).
These were limited to 1000 and were apparently all individually splattered with real pig's blood.
What, no human blood? That's just lazy. FYI...there are no guitars on this, but still kicks ass.

JUBILE - SONGS OF THE COLD NORTH (2012)

Angular and noooiiiisseeee stuff from Jubilé outta São Tomé and Príncipe, the 2nd smallest African country. But this ain't no African tribal dance music. It puts you in your place and tells you to shut the Hell up!

Don't know much about these guys, but their description states...at worst you'll just lose 30 minutes. OK!
It also says...my ass is tofu and something about Rock 'n' Roll masturbation. Ok. You got my attention. I'm in. You'll dig this if you're into Shellac, New Brutalism, Shorty, Dazzling Killmen.
Oh, and the Bandcamp link only has half the songs. Not sure what's up with that.

MTN ISL - GOD BECOME ANIMAL (2013)

Posted some stuff by these guys before here. More greasy, grubby, punch to the face rock for ya.
So there must be some good shit in the water (or beer) in Atlanta, GA, to keep churning out killer bands like Hawks, Whores and these guys MTN ISL. 6 song EP of sorts. Guaranteed to ruin your day!

THE POWERS THAT BE - CRUDE SOUND / THE MORNING AFTER 7" (1992)

I never know which art side picture to post. They're both cool. (Picture disc art by Dan Kalal.)
So this is The Powers That Be, from Manchester UK. They did this single, and one other song on a 4 band comp. Have to track it down somewhere. This single was for the Amrep Research & Development series from back in the early 90s. C'mon its Amrep...get it chumps!

THE BLIND SHAKE - GET YOUTH 7" (2014)

The Blind Shake, from Minneapolos, is at once spacey, primitive futuristic, and brutal: a kind of backyard extraterrestrial minimal surf-punk party. One guitar, one baritone guitar, a fuckload of reverb, and a drummer who deserves an Olympic medal.” –SF Weekly  This is their new 2-song single. Get it!
