WHITE LUNG / (Vancouver, Deranged recs)
…………………… …..The sharp vocal and rhythmic spite of a Canucks riot or Canadian bus beheading carefully channeled through the sounds of Bernard Sumner playing with chainsaws ca. 1980. One of my favourite bands. Featuring four British Columbians (BC) (see: http://youtu.be/_Y8Da-DLrX0?t=1m57s)
JOINT D≠ / (Charlotte, Sorry State recs)
…………………… …..(n? Damage) - The Midway Islands to Gauze’s Tokyo and the Wipers’ Portland. Depressed nerd closet songwriting sensibilities repeatedly steamrolled by asphalt rhythms with the subtlest hint of M. E. Smith that prevents any non-pretentious or esoteric description, i.e. how embarassing, this is my band, huh. Featuring one Columbian (MD). (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffzqMW-hJ50 )
CHEMICAL PEEL / (Columbia, no records yet but soon)
…………………… …..Utreg Punx operating under a Meat Puppets modus, a non-contrived version of K. Gordon et al.’s sounds of irascibility and desperation pumped through a raw and what-the-French-call-a-certain-“i don’t know what”, a genuine band that blows minds. Probably the best band I’ve seen this year that I hadn’t seen before. Featuring three Columbians (SC) (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkCEp1UTWks )
INFECCI?N / (Raleigh, mem. of Double Negative, Whatever Brains, Brain F≠, Devour, Logic Problem, Sorry State Records Tycoon-in-Chief, &c. )
…………………… …..GRB-level rawness with such angular and delectable poppiness of your Eddy Currents, your Wires, your Swell Maps, your UV Racists with a Shitty Limits shake appeal. Excellent new band - download the demo here. Featuring one Colombian. (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0h0_nYp9ZU )
