Singles of Note

Weed Hounds-Skating Away From The Cops 7"

Hell yeah two-songs that are super-potent, couldn't get enough of this band, the demo is great too but I really like the way they produced these tracks not too hot not too cold if you know what I mean. The songs are great, would you run away if I told you they reminded me of "Isn't Anything" MBV? You can call me lazy, but don't discount the band. They are set to drop a full-length in the next coupla months and I can't wait.



The Pains Of Being Pure of Heart-Say No To Love 7"

Even though I've slowly been coming to the conclusion it ain't healthy to listen to all this spoon-my-heart-out/fatalist/uber-romance shit all the time I still have to give it up to these doods, it's just too pretty too well crafted. The secret hater in me can't wait till this band screws up so I can just hate on em but it's probably not gonna happen cuz they have a pretty damn consistent track-record of purrrfection. On a related note: When is Mac gonna come out with filters for your eyes, fuck rose-colored glasses, I want super 8 lenses.Say No To Love



Veronica Falls-Beachy Head 7"

Well I am getting a little miffed(that's british right?) that there hasn't been a full-length yet, or a deluge of singles....just a slow slow trickle it's all gold though I guess that's the trade-off. I heard somewhere this song is about a famous place to kill yourself, now that's goth and they didn't even need to bury it under a mile of white-noise. But on another note, has there ever been one sunny day in all of England's existence? Catch the Wave



Wild Nothing-Evertide Ep

Welp no surprise here I been jocking this band too damned hard lately. I don't even have words for this one too good too good. jock on



Balam Acab-See Birds

I think you could call Balam Acab rookie of the year, he came out of nowhere and pretty much won the hearts of all, he pulls more emotion out of machines than most can out a slew live instruments, and they are covered in gorgeous texture. Unlike witch house which he might be unfairly asscociated with he doesn't leave you feeling desperate or scared, mostly fulfilled and renewed and shit positive like that. See Birds



Ikonika-DCKHDBTCH

A lot of times I am really disappointed by dubstep, but really it's just that it's gotten so big now that it has gone in a million different directions. And unfortunately the directions leading to the general mindless herds are the ones most popular. Thankfully guys like Joker, Hudson Mohawke, and Nosaj Thing are still pushing boundaries and right up there with them is Ikonika. Her drums are pretty simple kinda cheap sounding, but she throws the most bonkers ass melodies over it, after a minute they just start to work on you, then her super woozy basslines start to take effect, it's real cool. This isn't the best introduction to her music but it is definitely solid.



Zomby-One Foot Ahead of The Other

Zomby definitely fits into the above-mentioned category of people not being content with the definition of dubstep the mindless are trying to impose on the rest of us. I don't know much about electronics or sequencers so I can't really say what he's doing, it sounds analog and complex to me. Actually I think this ep has more in common with Wendy Carlos than Bassnectar. It surely satisfies my brain in ways simillar to Switched On Bach.



White Ring/oOoOO-Emotion 7"

This whole genre is inevitably gonna get a whole bunch of flack but good music remains good music and this seven inch is good music. You shouldn't have to apologize for like DJ's Paul and Screw as well Portishead and Burzum it's fucking 2010 ya heard? Let em do their thang thang. And besides the clever genre tag isn't it really just cold wave or goth or whatever? I think sometimes people lose perspective and can't appreciate something cool when it's crawling like Ju-On across the floor.EmOtiONaL



oOoOO-EP

Yeah other than Salem I think these guys have got the most bankable catalog at the moment, NoSmmr4U is a certified banger.Did I mention the Pokerface Remix?

Keep Ruling Violently

schools out thank the gods, another semester fumbled

Hell yeah in the next coming weeks there will be a couple vinyl releases brought to you by the homies, on saturday the mighty VIOLENT RULER will be dropping their first full length, SWELLING THE MORGUE. In fact if MO woke up he should be fucking around with transparencies and diddlin' with layouts as I write. the release party is on SATURDAY in Reno at Jub Jubs Thirst Parlor. As it stands I don't know any information on pre-ordering and all that but I'll pass it along once it's passed along to me...
For the woefully uninitiated VIOLENT RULER is hands-down the best metal act in Reno, taking the best parts from 80's splicing it with the best of the 90's, then they smother it with drugs and let it bleed. In other words they are top-notch Thrash Metal unit that make bands like Toxic Holocaust look like a cheap after-school special in comparison. But don't take my word for it you can check out six songs right below. They also are in the process of recording some other other shit so yeah be on the lookout for that as well. I've also heard rumours of a West Coast tour this year, don't wanna give too much away, but itll more than likely beINFAMOUS, and it might get RAINY and they might take a Pro-wrestler with them....anyways keep your ears and eyes open.

Violent Ruler DEMOlition

Diggin the Nature Scene

I have a new band and we are happy to be playing our first show this friday with kill rock stars western gals, Grass Widow. They are playing their only show out of the bay for a while in Reno, and The Indoors is also playing. The Indoors are a Truckee Meadows super group, (mothers wing, juvinals, violent ruler, etc.) and it's their 3rd show I believe. Fresh acts, schools out, happy xmas, its the weekend get to freakin

The Annointed

Graduate From Kali High

For those out of exhale range of california may find it hard to believe all the hype surrounding it's weed use. But take it from someone who lives real close but so far away....it's true it's true! California has been enveloped by a thickening cloud of potsmog and whatever you may think about Prop.19 it ain't showing any signs of dispersal. I was down on Venice Beach earlier this fall and my time was spent a lot like Juicy J's and Project Pat's....although the extreme police presence was a little more than nauseating. I sat looking out on the ocean wondering if Jim Morrison had touched a girl on the very sand I was looking out at, then I wondered if George Jung had met up with some mexicans under the palm tree I was at....and then I got bummed again on all the fucking cops, and the realization that a Jim Morrison or George Jung or anybody halfway tight has a whole harder time gettin' shit done when pigs are scuttling up and down the beach on four-wheelers and horses....well whatever all the cops didn't stop me from getting Cali High, and neither I suppose do they stop many people
