JACK BUCK - SOFT 7" & UGLY 7" (2011/2013)

I happen to know that the name Jack Buck comes from a famous St. Louis Cardinals announcer who was known for his dramatic play-by-play calls from the 50's through the 90's. Now you know as well.
Wow. More baseball and noise rock references going on here.

So the music...kick ass St. Louis, MO (duh) noise rock (saw that coming too eh?), with aspects of Shellac, Hawks, Whores, and Helmet (neat). 2 singles here worth your attention, and awesome packaging on these limited do-hickeys as well. That's a Winner!!

THE THROWN UPS - EAT MY DUMP 7" (1988)

The Thrown Ups were Ed Fotheringham which you've seen his artwork on tons of records. Steve Turner and Mark Arm from Green River, Mudhoney, and a slew of others, and band founder John Leighton Beezer. This was their 3rd 7" on Amrep. Sloppy, ugly and awesome. Just to ruin your day.

KATASTROPHY WIFE - ALL KNEEL (2003)

This is super hottie Kat Bjelland, singer/guitaristist from the rockin' Babes In Toyland and one of her post band after 'Babes', Katastrophy Wife.
They've kinda flown under the radar, with a bunch of stuff in the past 10 years or so.
This album was originally released in 2003, but 2014 finally gives us a proper reissue on Record Store Day.
Woo hoo! If you're into Babes in Toyland, Mudhoney, Nirvana, 90s grunge, flannels, you'll be wanting this.

UNSANE - AMREP CHRISTMAS (1997)

-By Request
Recorded at the Turf Club in St. Paul, MN, Amrep Christmas is Unsane's first live album, released in 1997. Includes a badass version of Zeppelin's Four Sticks. Ka-Pow!!
(Man's Ruin - 1997)

DL: AMREP CHRISTMAS

SOKEA PISTE – AJATUS KARKAA (2011)

Glad I don't have to pronounce this one. Both the band name and title... Damaged, dark & noisy punk cacophony from Finland. Oddly falling somewhere between Steel Pole Bath Tub, No Hope For The Kids & Mission Of Burma.  - PeterWalkee

MOUNT SHASTA - NODULE 7" (1993)

Crazy, ugly, frenzied good ass noise racket schtuff from Mount Shasta. 7" that came with a comic book.
This will make the inner (and outer) nerd in ya grin.

(Skin Graft Records - 1993)

DL: NODULE

BLACKLISTERS - BELT PARTY EP (2010)

I've raved about these guys before. Here's 3 older but good blasts of noise rock awesomeness.
Their first release as far as I know.
(Childhood Sweetheart - 2010)

DL: BELT PARTY

QUITTERS CLUB - QUITTERS CLUB (1995)

Quitters Club was some heavy duty noise rock action from Kansas City that shoves you to the ground and pummels you into a steaming pile. Short lived, they only released this album and a split 7" with Johnboy. This is chunky and heavy like your high school ex. For fans Cows, Unsane, Glazed Baby, Cherubs, chunky sauce on your meat pile. 
(Imminent Rock - 1995)

DL : QUITTERS CLUB

ANIMAL LOVER - GUILT (2014)

Brand, spanking new 6 song EP thingy from Animal Lover, a 3 piece outta Minneapolis MN. This chunked-out, buzzsaw geetar, chaotic rock of the mangled and noisy kind, will have you shakin' your hips, while smacking you over your noggin with sledgehammer at the same time. If you mixed Hammerhead, Austerity Program, Big Black, Blacklisters, Crain, urine and bleach, you'd have some toxic good fun.

This release is on Learning Curve records, so you know its good! They've had some amazing bands on their roster lately, and adding this to their cleanup hitter spot should drive in some go ahead runs. Yes I made a baseball reference on a noise rock blog, what of it? Check out their last release as well right here. Good shit.
