ALBUM: Until We're Dead

GENRE: Punk Rock / Crack Rock Steady / Ska

NOTES:

Remember the first time you've heard of D.I.Y Punk back in the late 90s? (We get it, you're from the 80s and have better taste in Punk, piss off now) It's pretty much like that.... I love this so much.

It's like Punk Rock in Crack.

Also, for fans of Leftöver Crack, Morning Glory or Choking Victim. But wish they were Grittier... or something.

The Japs shat on my bathtub

BAND: Bathub Shitter

COUNTRY: Japan

ALBUM: One Fun EP

GENRE: Grind

Download (Mediafire)

NOTES:

Bathtub Shitter was formed in 1996 on the Osakan underground hardcore/punkscene which produced SxOxB andBoredoms

One Fun is a pretty solid EP, the production is similar to early Electro Hippies and Sore Throat's Proto-Grind days. Somewhat raw yet distinguishable.

Enjoy.

And apparently they have people scouring the internet for any blogs with their albums in it. Better get this fast.

My Long Hair Just Can't Cover Up My Red Neck

It's been a while, brothers. I come back to you from the Wilderness of North America with a humble offering from the Southland.

David Allan Coe. What can I say? The country man that was so metal. Known for his x-rated albums and his sometimes rank subject matter, David Allan Coe is an essential addition to the collection of any fan of outlaw country, southern rock, even some of the bluesier varieties of sludge metal. DAC is one bad mother fucker, as you can tell from such songs are Long Haired Redneck, Son of the South, and Willie, Waylon, and Me.

Musically, David has a very strong voice that he can tune to a lot of different sounds. From the mournful You Never Even Called Me By My Name to the gospel Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone).

Greatest Hits.


Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

Enjoy.

BAND: Monarque

COUNTRY: Canada (Quebec)

ALBUM: Ad Nauseam

GENRE: Black Metal

Download (Mediafire)

Notes:

You Baka Gaijins didn't think I turned into a weeaboo did you? I still hate animes so that excludes me from being a weeaboo.

Anyway, Monarque re-released the Ad Nauseam demo with three new tracks and this shit is awesome! What did you expect, Monarque is from the Quebecois scene after all.

Pure Hateful Black Metal with a bunch of melodies thrown in the mix.

MIDORI IS BACK!

BAND: ミドリ (Midori)

COUNTRY: Japan

ALBUM: Swing

GENRE: Noise / Jazz / Hardcore / Experimental

Download (Mediafire)

Notes:

Midori is back with a new single which is under the label Sony Japan (Long Live the Sony!)

Quite frankly, I wasn't that much impressed. The full blown mindless mayhem found on their previous albums (and EP) kind of toned down. Hopefully this isn't an indication of the band's shift to a more accesible sound.

The Discography can be found here and in the Demiphoenix blog. Well, it is basically the same links.

The above cover is for the Standard edition while the one below this is the DVD edition.

This is simply awesome

BAND: Water Fai

COUNTRY: Empire of Japan

ALBUM: Girls in the White Dream

GENRE: Post-Rock

Download (Mediafire)

Notes:

An all female Post-Rock band from Japan. as opposed to explosions, MONO, godspeed or halda. The band doesn't need to build up any sonic climax for the listener. this is musical bliss without the eargasm.

Water Fai are a Japanese psychedelic-pop band, formed in Osaka in 2002. These four women dynamically contrast intricate melodies and soft harmonies with violent guitar-noise and electronic effects. They bring a much needed feminine approach to the post-rock genre that is so often dominated by male artists (and their biggest influences) like Mogwai and Tortoise. They bring their own translation of the sentimentality captured best by The Album Leaf and Yo La Tengo.

Naevaer

Featuring members of Green Carnation and In the Woods..., Naevaer will soothe the soul. Very folky and experimental at times. Listen with the lights off and let your mind wander.

Skiftninger

Earth, Weed and Fire

psychedelic, spacey stoner metal. can't find a damn thing for 'em, so you get a generic image.
for fans of Mammatus and Bongripper, this shit is heavy and catchy. not as soul-wrenching as many, but said catchiness makes it worth a listen. there are a few samples thrown about that don't quite fit the mood, but Earth, Weed and Fire more than make up for it in atmosphere. I look forward to embracing the collection in the way it was intended. until then, still great music. the riffs may be a little stale for some, making listening a long haul, or they may march along to make for a great trip.
