MUSIC /// HIGH POP - IT'S NOT HARD


From what I can tell, these kids are still in high school. I can't find much info, though. Their songs range from snotty brat pop to mellow "hand clappy" tunes. 

Either way, I dig what they're up to and you can download their demos for free over at CLLCT.

MUSIC /// CEREMONY - ROHNERT PARK

So, the year is winding down and I'll be doing some posts on my favorite releases of 2010, as opposed to some gigantic list.

Anyways, CEREMONY released their 3rd album ROHNERT PARK earlier this year through BRIDGE 9 and damn what a record.

Hardcore is being reinvented and it's most minimal and primitive ideology is being embraced by bands like CEREMONY, FUCKED UP, and the sadly now deceased ST. DAD, leaving us with music that doesn't sound any specific way, but is no less hard hitting and in your face.

ROHNERT PARK carries with it the swagger of early American proto punk and garage bands such as THE SONICS or THE MONKS, who were, in my book, more "hardcore" than any band ALTERNATIVE PRESS is pushing these days.

Anyways, enough ranting. This album is bound to be a classic and already is in my book. Snag it from BRIDGE 9 on white vinyl for $12.00. 

Does it get any better than that?

MUSIC /// THE HAIRS - BALDING COLLEGE GIRLS



This is some good punked up American twee recorded by some Brooklyn dudes.

Dig it!

NEWS ///


For anyone wondering if JUNGLE ROT is "blowing it" or is dead, the answer is no. 

I have been busy working on my latest album, which is finally finished.

Grab that here:


I've also been busy with my record label, WHITE MOON RECORDINGS.

Anyways,  I missed out on the awesome posting of Halloween songs, but to be honest, I always post creepy shit, so whatever.

I do have a cool new band for you guys to go check out:


HIGH POP is a laid back, stoner pop band that I can't really find anything on. They started following me on Tumblr, but have no info on their page. 

If you dig bands who sound like they just rolled out of bed, slung on the stratocaster, and hit record, then this is a band for you.

Also, HIGH POP, if you are reading this: E-MAIL ME!
