R.I.P SKY SAXON

COCOCOMA

Whipcrackin' dirty, storming garage rock is the board of fare on this little yellow plate by Chicago's Cococoma, a trio pushing hard on romping, reckless, total sound. For just three people, they kick up a bled-through racket unheard since the heyday of the Estrus pyre in stature and energy, forcing each of the three tracks here to their limits. "All I Give" and "Don't Tempt Me" push the speed limit, while "Premonition" lays in on the mid-tempo grind; all are saturated in a thick haze of guitar noise, organ grind, Childish shouting and gang choruses. They're tight enough to play like they don't give a shit, but come off beyond being just some crummy band with an attitude.

SONGS WE TAUGHT THE OBLIVIANS

This is not the oblivians or an official realease. Its just like all the other "songs we taught the.." compilations. A bunch of awesome songs that the oblivians covered or they were inspired by. I got this off the WFMU site. includes tracks by Bo Diddley,Hound Dog Taylor,Tom Waits and many more..thanks to kogar for putting this together!

THE FRESH & ONLYS

The Fresh & Onlys began in the spring of 2008 as a recording collaboration between Tim Cohen and Shayde Sartin. After a month of marathon recording sessions on various broken tape machines the two enlisted Wymond Miles, Heidi Alexander and Grace Cooper to help complete the sound. Since then the band has recorded well over a hundred songs and played a hand full of shows on the west coast."The group's self-titled debut full-length album strikes a balance between the psych-fried blur of the California sun and an amp-crackling, four-chorded garage basher." - Chris Sabbath, SF Chronicle.

DEAF WISH

From Melbourne,Australia Deaf Wish are a band that seems to get likened to The Wipers & early Husker Du. I guess i can kind of hear it...kind of? Comparisons aside they do know how to play solid R'N'R. This is a CDR released in 2008. Stand out songs for me are 'Mai Tai' and 'Green Flame'.

BRAINBOMBS

There is only one word to describe these swedish maniacs...BRUTAL! Brainbombs have been around since 1985 but i have only discovered them recently. Best listened to very very loud!

GOLDEN TRIANGLE

I don't know much about this band other than they are playing gonerfest this year.Apparently they are from Brooklyn/Atlanta/Austin/Memphis. Must be a nightmare organizing band practice. Psyched out garage rock with dual female vocals. Six tracks and a Redd Kross cover!
