DL: empty crawlspace

pink city - designing women

released 2011

while listening to the first few moments of this album...you may find yourself thinking "when did unsane and halo of flies do something together?"

and then you may find yourself thinking "you know...the swans are a pretty decent band"

and then you may find yourself thinking "you know...this totally reminds me of an album...i can't remember what it's called...i can see the cover in my head...the name of the band is right there...dammit!...i hate when this happens!...ah!...another nosebleed!" (i'll help you out...you're welcome)

and now...i'll throw out a few other things that come to mind whilst listening to this:

joy division
killing joke
the experimental side of the melvins

so...with what you know now...you should be listening to this in about 2 minutes

and then you should go here

dickkicker - somniloquent

released 2010

oh yeah...that's just what this will do

kick you in the dick

and it'll do it all with the gusto of neurosis and some torche and some old school melvins and some anodyne and some non compos mentis...

or get kicked in the dick

and not in the good way,friend

shit happiness - chords ep

released 2011

hopefully you'd downloaded the band's SELF-TITLED DEMO because you get more of the same here...sans vocals this time around

and if you haven't...i suggest you do so

"yeah...well...what if i don't want to...what's in it for me?"

well,you stubborn bastard...you get some fudge tunnel/helmet/unsane-like jams...but...you know...from russia and without vocals

and you know what?

that should be good enough

sheeeeeesh....kids nowadays

morsel - noise floor

originally released 1994

grAy had originally posted this awhile back...and as i was going through the SGM email i came across a message that was sent by the band's bassist/vocalist be hussey asking that the link be removed because the band were going to re-release the album

so i hastily took the link/post down

but what i should've done was made a post about the band re-releasing the album and then pointed folks in the direction they could find it

so that's just what i'm going to do

you should also pick up a copy of the band's G.I.B.L.E.T. ep whilst there

click me

jethrine - wildlife ep

released 2010

file this under the heading of "something i should've posted a long time ago"

these fellas are/were (they recently took on the hiatus status) from portland,or

and to pull a quote from band member jamie: "if you likes the liz, vintage helmet, shellac, fugazi, melvins, etc...this may be up your alley."

so...you like all of that,yes?

i'm going to tack on a few more bands to sweeten the pot: white drugs,mule,dazzling killmen,early clutch

didn't that make it even better?

and not only that...you even get a roky erickson cover

oh yeah?

yeah.
