LOVE TAN MISCELLANEOUS NIGHT FEELINGS

Love Tan is the duo of Matthew Ford (Factums, ex-Intelligence) and Craig Chambers (The Lights). They used to be called "Pyramids", which is why you may see some of their previous 7" releases alude to that. They changed their name when they stumbled upon the array of bands currently calling themselves Pyramids. Personally, I think Love Tan is a great name. No one else will dare rip that off.Hailing from Seattle, Love Tan display a wide range of haunting, brutal and pop-drenched sounds, which is all the more impressive considering that they are only a two piece. The vocals range from falsetto to baritone, the guitars can sound sparse or punishingly full, and the drumming can go from methodical to off-kilter, and all in the same song. For fans of Tronics, The Prats, The Urinals, etc.

NO BUNNY - GIVE IT TO ME 7"

One of the many personalities of Okmoniks drummer and Sneaky Pinks founder Justin Champlin, Nobunny (with and without the Fabulous Flys) is a tucson-founded, oakland-based, bunny-faced act specializing in 60s-style garage rock and pop. Apparently he really stinks. Great tunes.

THE FILTH MONGERS

Here's a couple more songs from a couple more guys from San Francisco playing good straight up no bullshit punk rock'n'roll! Roast dem bones has a real Crampsy(god i hate that description!) vibe going on and 'i don't need you betty' is some trash rock genius! Enjoy! Oh yeah, if anyone knows if these guys have any official releases please let me know!

THE SANDWITCHES

A sandwitch,is not actually a spelling error meant to say "sandwich", but is actually a Warlock, Witch, Dragon or any other mystical rare creature that are found in certain fables and, of course, extremely hostile. These creatures have the ability to disguise themselves in the form of a sandwich. The fact is that so many people, when hearing another warning them of their impending doom at the hands of a Sandwitch, believe that they are referring to the food, so that as soon as they reach out to get a bite, the Sandwitch would strike! Sandwitches are also a band from San Francisco with 3 girls who play really good folky/psychy/pop!

THE PERVERTS


Yet another band involving Ty Segall. The Perverts play great straight up punk rock with those signature echoey reverb drenched vocals you'd expect to hear in any Ty Segall project. Here are some demo songs from their myspace!
