MUSIC /// CATHOLIC SPRAY

CATHOLIC SPRAY is a fucked up, psycho trash band from PARIS, FRANCE.

The recordings sound like these guys were standing in the middle of the street with a thrift store tape recorder and decided to make an album.

It's that fucking good.

MUSIC /// The Eichmann Family

For my second post on the music scene in ZAGREB, CROATIA, I'm writing about the trash rock trio, THE EICHMANN FAMILY.

These dudes are running the gamut from raging punkers to psychotic surfy twang.

The band shares a guitarist with WELCOMIN' COMMITTEE IN FLAMES, who I've previously blogged about and their bass player plays stand up, dog house bass, which is impressive as it's being used in trashy rock n' roll, as opposed to cheesy ass "psychobilly". 

Head over to their MySpace and give these dudes a listen.

the swamps ///

FUNGI GIRLS members Skyler Salinas and Jacob Bruce have formed a band on the side and are calling themselves THE SWAMPS.

Head over to their MySpace and check out the song "MISTER COUCH" to get a heaping helping of their slimy, trashy grooves.

trmrs ///

TRMRS is a band from California making awesome trashy pop punk with a little 60's thrown in there for good measure. 

The song "HELLO SELF" is a major killer, as are all of their songs, so I suggest you go check them out, dick face.

teenage moonlight borderliners ///

TEENAGE MOONLIGHT BORDERLINERS only have one song on their myskizz page, but I like it a hell of a lot. Their page says they're on PLASTIC SPOONS RECORDS, which is a bitchin' label. I also can't discern where they're actually from, but either way, check out the song "JUNGLE TOWN" on their page and keep an eye out for the cassette they have coming out on Plastic Spoons.

weird kids ///

The Weird Kids are exactly that. Weird dudes making weirdo trashy retardo surf punk. That's a lot of adjectives, but fuck you. They're killer at what they do and apparently have a lot of music recorded, so send them a message at their myskizz page and maybe they'll hook you up. I'm looking forward to hearing more from these skeeze balls.

tunnel of love ///

 

Tunnel Of Love might already be well known. I don't know if they are or whatever, but they're fucking crazy. Imagine if the Stooges were more into rockabilly and more stripped down and Iggy Pop was even more of fucked up weirdo. It would be this shit. I'm not saying they're /better/ than the Stooges, because, in my book, no one is, BUT --- this shit is AWESOME. Give 'em a listen and if you find a place to buy something, hook me up with a lank.

greg cee ///

Greg Cee is a dude from New Jersey making retardo rock n' roll. I stumbled upon his myskizz page earlier today and I gotta say, I'm really digging this trashy shit. The track "GET INTO MY WAY" really sticks. Either way, if you dig early Reatards or Mummies, this is your fuckin' jam.

gimme the good shit

You know what I'm fucking sick and tired of?

ALL THE LAME ASS, WISHY WASHY COMPLACENT ELECTRONIC BULLSHIT MUSIC OUT THERE RIGHT NOW!

When did people stop plugging their guitars into their shitty little amps and turning it up too loud for the amp to handle it? And when did people stop finding drum kits in the dumpster and making badass fucking beats on that shit?

Seriously, I know it's an issue of convenience. It's much easier to plug your MicroKorg direct-in and run it through Garageband. And, I admit, there are /some/ people making interesting music this way, BUT IT'S DRIVING ME FUCKING CRAZY!

I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL MUSIC. I NEED GUITARS. I NEED DRUMS. GIVE ME A BO DIDDLEY BEAT AND A SHITTY SOUNDING E STRING.

Rock N' Roll is an AMERICAN TRADITION, KIDS! Fuck all that Euro, New Wavey sounding shit.

Put a jam in that clam, motherfuckers! RUIN. IT. ALL.

Now, go listen to THE TWO TEARS and don't give me any fuckin' lip:  http://www.myspace.com/thetwotears
