Joanna Gruesome at Surviving the Golden Age
As Joanna Gruesome hit the road with Perfect Pussy, it seems we won’t be getting a new LP this summer from the Welsh jangle-core (blah blah genres) pioneers. To satiate our hunger, the Gruesomes are featured on an upcoming split with the very excellent Trust Fund, to be released on gold vinyl by HHBTM (US – September 23) and Reeks of… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Surviving the Golden Age
Joanna Gruesome at Pitchfork
Blame it on the name, but Welsh quintet Joanna Gruesome‘s Weird Sister seems to me one of the more overlooked records of 2013. Their noise-pop/hardcore hybrid variously shimmers and crushes your skull, but does both with more intensity, melody, and finesse than other active bands with similar intentions—it helps that Joanna Gruesome is not afraid to sing about… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at Pitchfork
Eureka California at Innocent Words
For a duo, Eureka California make a hell of a lot of noise. The Athens indie rockers, comprised of drummer Marie Uhler and singer/guitarist Jake Ward, have just turned in their second full-length in 18 months, and far from sounding like a rushed out also ran, ‘Crunch’ is a remarkably satisfying slice of unpretentious college… Continue reading Eureka California at Innocent Words
Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
This is my second time experiencing Eureka California and while the first was on cassette, I must admit that vinyl also does the sound justice. I’m not going to look at my cassette review of theirs for reference because then I might feel as if I’m referencing the same bands, but here is what I… Continue reading Eureka California at Raised by Gypsies
Muuy Biien at Jersey Beat
What makes good punk rock worth listening to is its ability to redefine what “punk” is supposed to be. Muuy Biien is one of those young bands who simply do not care about rules, expectations, guidelines, or predispositions: they simply want to create angry, intelligent, hyper punk and if you do not like it, then… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Jersey Beat
Eureka California at Jersey Beat
Eureka California actually calls Athens, Georgia home and features the sarcastic, snarky musicianship of Jake Ward and Marie Uhler. The two have a penchant for capturing mid 90’s indie pop with subtle nuances that make eleven songs on Crunch memorable and instantly relatable. Ward, who labels himself “overeducated and underappreciated” in the band’s bio sings of… Continue reading Eureka California at Jersey Beat
Joanna Gruesome at the Mad Mackeral
Jerome (Liar) is the first new material from excellent indie noiseniks Joanna Gruesome since the release of last year’s Weird Sister debut full-length. The track will be featured on the split 12″ with Trust Fund from Bristol and released on HHBTM Records in the States on September 22nd and Reeks of Effort in the UK on September 21st. Have a listen. Pre-order here for… Continue reading Joanna Gruesome at the Mad Mackeral
