COACHWHIPS/TRIN TRAN SPLIT

Two rocking distorted lo-fi garage punkers from San Francisco's COACHWHIPS. Pretty catchy stuff here, the "now sound", short and sweet. One of the tracks is a TRIN TRAN cover. On the flip TRIN TRAN has a bit more new wave, arty feel. Lo-fi and catchy as well. "H.C. She" (the song the COACHWHIPS cover) is irresistably catchy.Awesome!

RAW ROMANCE

This is the followup album from Okimoniks drummer/Sneaky Pinks founder Nobunny.Raw Romance is a lot more acoustic based than love visions but still lo-fi/garage rock with all the hooks. Wasn't too excited whe i first heard this but it sure grows on you!

IMAGINARY FRIENDS

Another one from San Frans Fresh & Onlys. This is their debut release on Kelley Stoltz's Chuffed Records. This was limited to a press of 300 but i think it was going to be repressed. Either way check out Chuffed Records site if you want to buy a copy!

TY SEGALL - CENTS 7"

New 7" on Goner. If you don't know who Ty is you have been living under a rock. Do yourself a favour and grab this. It's awesome. Can't wait for the LP.

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!
