WHITE WALLS - KEVIN EP (2013)

(Partially lifted from the bands description)
The newest 4 -song 12" from Ohio's White Walls has the band revisiting and reinventing a song that was released on tape a few years ago. Accompanying "Kevin" are two new songs that find the band at their peak. So their description is Black Flag, Shellac, and Nirvana, but I think they just sound like a twisted Jesus Lizard. And JL is already twisted from the start. They also do a pretty kickass cover of  The Pixies "Bone Machine" that you'll find satisfying.

DOSES - DOSES (2014)

2 piece noise punk band from Southern California. But instead of the guitar/drum or bass/drum combo, we get a guitar/bass combo with a drum machine. So you would think you would get a Big Black or Godflesh vibe from the drum machine, but not really. Of the 8 songs, song 6, "Reason to Live" is the only one that has a Big Black-ish sound. But the remaining sound more dirgy punk. Like Black Flag or Flipper. Maybe some godheadSilo too. They say they don't want you to pay for this digital download, but you should buy their record from Going Underground. Do it!

KITTENS - TIGER COMET (1995)

Three piece noise executioners from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. These guys shuck around the heavy, chaotic, energetic buzzsaw guitars similar to Vaz, Melvins and Guzzard like a syrup fight in a waffle factory... with psychotic, distorto crazed vocals like a man who just chugged 3 entire bottles of said syrup. Sounds like a sugar buzzing blast eh? Napkins not required.

HEY COLOSSUS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY (2008)

Deranged 4th album by Hey Colossus. Heavy and sludgy, bottomed out, feedback drenched, doom noise. A healthy mix of raging riffs, and spaced out fuzz-o-rama. Nothing subtle about this album. It will punch you in the gut, throw a bucket on your head and hammer away, while volting your ass up with jumper cables on your extremities. Sounds like fun eh? Never know until you try.

HALF GOON - TERRORIZER (2013)

Terrorizer is 7 solid slabs of sludge punk from Long Beach, CA's Half Goon and cruises by quickly. With driving guitars, thick bass, and a schizo sounding singer, the songs weave mostly mid-paced through different time changes.
How to make a Half Goon cake? Take a sponge middle that sounds like bands on Brutal Panda, covered with icing that Hydra Head bands make and sprinkled with Touch and Go toppings. All topped with echo-y guitar stuff that reminds me of Young Widows. Rumbling and yummy.

NO ANCHOR - THE GOLDEN BRIDGE (2012)

Lots of Aussie noise here at staticfraction lately. I posted the new Dead / No Anchor split 7" here. And from what I understand, No Anchor will be kicking out some new shit with Amrep in the near future.
Harshed out sludge noise punk made by three otherwise well-adjusted men.

KUNG-PAO / TUCKER SPLIT 7" (1997)

Good mid 90s heavy/dirty/noise rock for your ear canals. This is a split 7" from Kung-Pao and Tucker,
one song each. I don't know much about Tucker, but Kung-Pao has 2 other records that came out after this. Heavy riffage, and sludge chuggin'... like a dirty, beat-up truck hauling thirsty construction workers down a dirt road to the next bar fight...early Helmet meets early Tad meets any Killdozer.

HOOVES NOT HANDS - SWOLLEN (2010)

Don't let the cute teddy bear fool ya! This record will tear your head off and throw you to bloodthirsty dogs. Heavy, noisy, off-kilter rumblings ala Unsane, Ken Mode, Coliseum, Janitor Joe. Its not the most original thing I've heard, but its still makes your noggin rock back and forth. This would fit pretty good on a Learning Curve Recordings roster methinks.

MULTICULT - SPACES TANGLED (2012)

I posted a single from these guys a while back here. This is a full-length of more of that same noise rawk with a mix of abrasive technical math-rock and pounding chaotic rhythm. If you like Shellac, Cherubs, Arcwelder...that kinda schtuff...you'll like this.

MUTTON - MUTTON (2013)

Those Aussies can sure tear things up. At first listen, 4-piece Mutton has that Scratch Acid, Pissed Jeans, Jesus Lizard thing down. Which is cool. I'm into all of those bands. And chances are you are too. But with additional listens I could hear some other influences creeping in. Some New Bomb Turks, Drunks With Guns, Mule on certain tracks. Again, I'm cool with those bands as well. Dig.
