Superfinos VTO – The Tinman’s Last Request

These three dudes know how to lay down the kind of goods stoners, hessians, and burnouts alike can hangout and headbang to.

Tanlines – Settings

The layers of synth-beats and drum loops were better left in the congo.

Young Livers – Of Misery And Toil

Gainesville punks deliver some decent, ear-splitting hardcore.

Sentinel – Four Days Deep

Four Days Deep has all the trappings of Sentinel’s large, airy sound –an impressive feat for a band with only three members.

The Skygreen Leopards – Gorgeous Johnny

Whispery pop-psychedelia and jingle-jangle Norcal folk are heavy in the mix.

Dave Ford – Home

Ford’s disarming voice and infectious guitar hooks propel lyrics that unflinchingly explore the depths of mental illness and loss.

The Tunnel

In The Tunnel’s latest album, Carver Brothers Lullaby, rural Californian lore is the impetus for songs that nod to the Gothic as well as sheer loudness.

Teenage Bottlerocket – They Came From The Shadows

Teenage Bottlerocket comes out blasting sing along choruses with more “Whoa oh oh’s” than The Ramones and Screeching Weasel combined.

David Knight

Think electro-acoustic meets whimsical (+ satisfying lyrics) resulting in a fizzy bottle of all our most potent emotions.

Oh No – Dr. No’s Ethiopium

Dr. No’s Ethiopium is a 36-track storehouse of sonic narcotics exploring the rich world of Ethiopian music.

The Copyrights/The Brokedowns Split 7″

What you’re dealing with is a raw, pure, relentless barrage on your audial senses.

“This city really lets you do your thing..as long as you’re not hurting anyone, you can be as weird as you want.”

Evangelicals – The Evening Descends

evangelicals_eveningdescends

These are not songs about depression, they’re songs about madness.

Ariel Pink – House Arrest

pink_housearrest

Ariel Pink is bedroom music: the kind of bedroom that parents are afraid to enter.

The Have Mercys – Great!

have_mercys_main_1

The album was definitely unique, especially considering it was distributed on a green cassette.

Big Rock Candy Mountain – Hey Kid

Big_Rock_Candy_Mountain_main_1

This New Orleans powerhouse makes their LP debut one hard-hitting album.

Casy & Brian – No Fiction 7”

no_fiction_main1

Imagine giving two Ritalin-infused kids carte blanche on a Casio keyboard, drum kit, and a couple of microphones.

Punk Blog Bonanza

computer hacker copy

These digital communities aren’t here to replace the traditional means of spreading music, but rather to act as supplements to it.

Kepi Ghoulie

There’s nobody quite like Kepi Ghoulie.

Larkin Grimm – Parplar

parplar

Her voice is by turns hypnotic, soothing, grating, and eerie. Swirling atmospheres of mandolin, dulcimer, guitars and layered vocals create, as with other recent releases on Young God, deeply post-industrial acoustic moods.
