Criminal Behavior Fanzine: Brain F- Sleep Rough LP review
He/she gets it. New record out in das summer
Brain F≠- Sleep Rough LP review
Reviewing this album is a huge task- in short, this is the most unique sounding band I have heard in a long time, and this record is the most intoxicating, catchy, flexible set of songs I’ve heard yet from a punk group. It’s hard to say…

SLEEP ROUGH out now in UK/EUROPE
from Ellis:
I’m thrilled to announce that the debut lp from Brain F≠ is now out and available to order! This is also the first lp that Static Shock has released and I’m really excited with how it’s come out. For more info see below.
“The first two singles from North Carolina, USA’s Brain F≠ left a lot of people scratching their heads: Is it garage? Is it hardcore? (It’s definitely punk.) How did they write such catchy riffs? How do you pronounce “F≠?” Brain F≠’s debut long player, Sleep Rough, will force you to ponder those same questions and may breed even more (and we mean that in the best way possible). Everything has been amped up for this release… the hard stuff is harder, the catchy stuff is catchier (oh, is it catchy!), and the weird stuff is weirder. There’s no need for band comparisons, but if you’re into that sort of thing then imagine the SAINTS’ minds in TEENGENERATE and the AVENGERS’ bodies sent to a dystopian future. Really, though, this sounds like the year 2011; if you like huge guitars, endless vocal hooks, and a turbo-charged rhythm section (you do), then you need to hear this record.” A download code is included.
three songs are up here: http://soundcloud.com/static-shock-records
Pressing info:
125 Clear
125 Purple
375 Black
(There was only supposed to be one limited version of this record, which was supposed to be on purple vinyl, but the plant made a mistake and also shipped us out a bunch on clear. I’ve given the majority of the clear to the band, but also put 40 copies up for sale.)
Order at http://www.staticshockrecords.com
Get in touch for wholesale or potential trades. (Not available to the USA - Please get in touch with Sorry State Records or Grave Mistake Records)
NEXT UP:
