dazed & confused.

the past few weeks i haven't been able to get enough of the new album from Hozac Records solo darling Nice Face . released last month, Horizon Fires, is a garage surf pop creation with upbeat sounds sending us straight into summer. sample the wears above for an overall good time.

little rock's a fine town.

 oxford, mississippi's ILLLS join a growing list of awesome bands being spawned from down south such as bass drum of death, dead gaze & dent may.

above you'll see the vomit inducing sludge video for their first single "teeth", off their ep - Dark Paradise - being released next week. seems like there might be a bit of influence from fellow southern garage rocker, jay reatard - which is cool if this is the way the south is going to rise again.

the diamond sea.

 





already being one of my favorite music labels, Slovenly Recordings does it once again by giving us their next new scuzzy gem: Sultan Bathery.

 formed only a few months ago, this band of "italian garage weirdos", as described by SR's label manager, hail all the way from venzia, italy. with the surge of great noisy bands coming out of europe right now, i'm definitely going to keep my eye on that side of that pond for awesome sounds like this.
