bleeding knees club

From what I can tell BLEEDING KNEES CLUB is a duo from the UK. They've got the garage thing going on, but the songs are actually there. Catchy, well produced, and just flat out good.

Recommended if you like HARLEM, TY SEGALL, JACUZZI BOYS.

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:

WAYLON THORNTON AND THE HEAVY HANDS - SIXTEEN DREAMS

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!

MUSIC /// STRANGE ODD MYSTERIES

PARIS, FRANCE has been confusing the shit out of me lately. As far as I've always been concerned, Paris was just a fancy place to eat croissants and look at expensive shit, but I've never actually been and that's just a crude stereotype from an American redneck. 

This cluster of killer punk rock bands that I've been stumbling upon, however, has been giving me the image of a filthy city full of greasy leather clad rock n' rollers. Not to mention the French kids who have added me on FACEBOOK and seem to post nothing but pictures of women giving birth (what the fuck, France?)

STRANGE ODD MYSTERIES happens to be one of these filthy, trashy bands coming out of PARIS, but instead of the blistering fury of bands like CATHOLIC SPRAY, S.O.M. brings out a shade of off kilter pop.

Don't get me wrong, though, it's got teeth.

Dig on the song "TEENAGE POLICY" below from their self released CD-R.

strange hands ///

More French psychedelic rock n' roll for your Sunday afternoon.

The French are apparently killing it with awesome music right now and STRANGE HANDS are helping out with that.

Warbly, wobbly, gritty lo-fi psychedelic rock n' roll rompers. Lots of reverb, but it's in the right places and the vocals still come through.

They have a 7" scheduled for release on A FISTFUL OF RECORDS, so keep up with them and snag it when it's out.

animal trophies ///

The beginning of the one song on this band's Myspace page caught me way off guard. 

REAL guitar playing!? Chet Atkins style chicken pickin!? What the fuck!?

It's totally awesome. I don't know much about these guys other than they're from France, but you can bet your ass I'll be posting more once I find out.

This song will be released as a 7" pretty soon.

Dig it.
