CROSS

EXTENSIVE CROSS LP REVIEW ON INSIDER LOUISVILLE WEBSITE. Cross’ new “Die Forever” a wonderfully unholy witch’s brew of rock, punk, goth, and sonic exploraitons. By William Benton They are, in the murky depths of their black hearts, a sincere rock ’n roll band. It just isn’t right; and that’s certainly the dark cloud that hangs [...]

FAT HISTORY MONTH

FAT HISTORY MONTH “BAD HISTORY DEMOS” ON CASSETTE GODS BLOG. I really love this band. They’re a melancholy two piece that is kind indie rock, but whose music moves with a tidal slowness that is more reminiscent of The Dirty Three (with vocals). Nothing is tied down too tightly here and the drums and guitar [...]

SPIDERBAGS / IMPOSE

IMPOSE REVIEWS “PAPA WAS A SHITHEAD” 7”. We screwed up and gave them the wrong release date. It actually doesn’t come out until next month, but pre-orders will ship immediately! Share the sounds of daddy issues with your not-so-loved-ones Even in the age of online music proliferation, the ability to detect a band’s hometown based [...]

SPIDERBAGS / PITCHFORK

NEW SPIDER BAGS LP (ODESSA, AUGUST 2012) GETS AN 8.1 ON PITCHFORK. People tend to obsess over North Carolina’s Spider Bags, a nominally identified garage rock band that sputters into broken-down country and spirals into high-flying psychedelics from a firm base of petulant, propulsive, and fun three-minute rock tunes. To wit, Titus Andronicus frontman Patrick [...]

THE CHRISTMAS BRIDE

THE CHRISTMAS BRIDE “PLANET EARTH’S MOTTO…” REVIEW ON BOAWS. I think I’m more caught up in The Christmas Bride’s horrifying Dr. Seuss-ish looking holiday themed logo rather than the weird ass cover that is going on here. That’s saying something, because just look at that. Odd and likely more going on there than I care [...]
