Ever since I was introduced to tracks like “SK8” years ago, I’ve considered Seattle’s the Spits to kinda be the modern unsung heroes of punk rock. Of course this album, like previous ones, is self-titled, and will probably features a number of songs that are just as crude,

MP3 The Beets are are New York garage rock band with the audacity to name themselves after the Beets. I’ve known about the group longer than I’ve actually been enjoying them. Previous records from these guys–though I love myself some garage rock–have been a little too

Center of the Sun by EYE Some long, winding psych and prog rock tunes from the new EYE album, Center of the Sun. While these guys don’t exactly put a new face on this kind of stuff, they perform it with a lotta passion and attention to detail. Plus,

A new track from Vampire Weekend keyboardist and producer Rotsam Batmanglij. It was dropped on his SoundCloud today, and I’m absolutely in love with it. All these flavors are driving me absolutely bonkers with ecstasy. The sitar, the strings, the hand percussion all sound fantastic. It’s all the

Download: Wormrot- Noise Y’all may remember back in April when I reviewed the new Wormrot LP, Dirge. Damn, that album was loud, fast, intricate, intense, and catchy. Basically, it had everything I could want in a grindcore record. I’m not the kind of person who needs to be

MP3 A new track from Big K.R.I.T., featuring 2Chainz, 8Ball, and MJG. It’s titled “Money On the Floor,” and has a fat, Southern beat. The pitch-shifted vocals over the hook are another nice tough as well. Basically, this track has everything I dug so much about
