Do you ever get the feeling that the old hits just aren’t the same, that they don’t hit the spot like they once did? That seems to be the sentiment expressed by ex-Sweater Girl Diana Barraza on her latest song with Rat Fancy; you have to grow and find new gems to adore. Musically, the song… Continue reading Rat Fancy at Austin Town Hall

Eureka California at Atlas & The Anchor
“Cobwebs On The Wind” (Today via Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records, the Athens, Ga based garage-punk duo consisting of Jake Ward and Marie A. Uhler have released Versus, their third album in as many years and first recorded in a studio where raging, energetic rhythms, 90’s-inspired fuzzed-out guitar crunch and power-punk melodies collide.)

Moon Types at Bluesbunny
Sometimes I wonder what they put in the water in Stockholm. Whatever it might be, it would perhaps explain the perfect parodies of any American musical genre that bands from that city can generate.

HHBTM Records Label Profile at Innocent Words

Crayon at Dynamite Hemorrhage
Crayon were the early-to-mid 90s precursor to twee-pop kingpins Tullycraft, a band who are more often than not too saccharine even for me, a girl in cat-eye glasses & saddle shoes who owns multiple Bunnygrunt records. By contrast, Crayon’s sloppy, tousled-hair & threadbare cardigan sweater approach to noisy pop was closer in spirit to what bands… Continue reading Crayon at Dynamite Hemorrhage
Skinny Girl Diet at Dirty World
Last night The Hope played host to a blistering show featuring emergent grunge-girl gang Skinny Girl Diet and Los Angeles duo Girlpool, supported by fellow Americans Eureka California and London pop/post-punks Witching Waves. Whilst all of the bands played impressive sets, the headliners undoubtedly stole the night. As the days get shorter and shorter and… Continue reading Skinny Girl Diet at Dirty World
