Tunabunny – Kingdom Technology Tunabunny never disappoint. This LP is a bit noiser than their previous album, complete with a full employment if distortion in spots and strange, almost hypnotic vocal harmonics in some tracks. This release is bold and is not afraid to pack catchy punk-indie rock gems in tightly with shorter vocal and… Continue reading Tunabunny and Muuy Biien at Tuning Into The Obscure

Muuy Biien at Get It On Vinyl
I need to get a few things off my chest before I start this review. First off, I’m a music snob. I can’t help it, but if you’re reading this, you’re probably a music snob too. It’s not the reason I collect vinyl, but it is the reason I’m so damn obsessive about it. I… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Get It On Vinyl

Tunabunny at When You Motor Away
Athens, GA’s Tunabunny has released Kingdom Technology, their followup to last year’s Genius Fatigue (WYMA review here).It’s a very good record, and it’s all over the place… there’s dance-rock, guitar-based postpunk, intensely focused krautrock, and throughout, in selected spots, the soaring vocal harmonies that first attracted most folks to their previous records. I get the sense that Tunabunny (Brigette Herron &… Continue reading Tunabunny at When You Motor Away
Bunnygrunt and Joanna Gruesome on Skatterbrain
Bunnygrunt and Joanna Gruesome are both featured in this month’s Skatterbrain playlist: Happy May, popkids! And a fine NYC POPFEST month, as well! I’d intended to get a Popfest Mix together this year, but, you know, I didn’t—there’s a massive gem from Gingerlys in this month’s sea of songs though, and they’ll be there! So… Continue reading Bunnygrunt and Joanna Gruesome on Skatterbrain
Eureka California and MC12 Cassette at C86’d
Eureka California- “Big Cats Can Swim” (2012, HHBTM) Big Cats Can Swim is a deep and eclectic full length from Eureka California, who happen to be from Athens, Georgia. Their music falls in the murky water between punk and indie pop. Sometimes it’s bad when a band is able to genre bend, but this is not the… Continue reading Eureka California and MC12 Cassette at C86’d
Tunabunny at Vinyl District
The release of Kingdom Technology documents a huge leap forward for Tunabunny, a very likeable Athens, GA outfit that up to this point has been pretty easy to pigeonhole. Continuing to play it safe could’ve resulted in additional quality music, and some of it perhaps might’ve ended up great, but it wouldn’t likely carry the same weight as these… Continue reading Tunabunny at Vinyl District
Muuy Biien at Rock Star Journalist
I’d never heard of Muuy Biien before I got an offer to have some records sent to me. They were kind of a secondary, last-minute throw in with another record for review. That other record will not get mentioned, because I didn’t care for it at all, buuuuuuuut … D.Y.I. is pretty frickin’ great. The album title — at… Continue reading Muuy Biien at Rock Star Journalist
Eureka California, Cosines, and Close Lobsters on Scared to Dance
A new month and once again we bring you 100% new music. Starting us off is the welcome return of the Manic Street Preachers who go all post-punk on us with a nod to Orange Juice along the way. Exclusively, the Close Lobsters are back for the first time in 25 years with their new… Continue reading Eureka California, Cosines, and Close Lobsters on Scared to Dance
Muuy Biien at When You Motor Away
Athens punks Muuy Biien are back – following up on last year’s This Is What Your Mind Imagines (WYMA reviewhere) with an even better, more fully-realized album. D.Y.I. has the bouncing rhythms, slashing guitars and guttural vocals that made their first album so memorable, but the ambient interludes (this time entitled “Cyclothymia” I, II and III) are better, and the music… Continue reading Muuy Biien at When You Motor Away
