CUT THE SHIT VOL 3

Various Maine Artists - Cut the Shit Vol. 3(2014)

This is volume three of Mike Cunnane's super cool and completely DIY recordings of Maine bands. Some of these bands I got to see tear it up (musicly speaking, of course) at Portland music fests and special outings this summer i.e. Hopeless Losers, Babe, and TG9; some I have known for some time i.e. if and it, Mr. NEET, Great Western Plains, SS Cretins, and others i.e. Phallus Uber Alles, The English Muffins, and Fadeaway Jumpers are bands I'm listening to for the first time via this rad comp.

All the bands, as always, are completely different, so don't skip a beat if you wanna find something new to listen to. Bands like TG9 (members of Perfect Hair and An Anderson) and SS Cretins (psych throwbackers and good friends of mine) should especially be bands you'll be seeing/hearing again on this site so don't sleep on those folks.

Enough yapping from me... just check this out:


Be sure to check out the other volumes as well if you like what you hear ;)

Sweet Teeth - Demo (2014)

Sweet Teeth are a riot grrrrrrrrl punk rock outfit out of Portland, Maine. They recently played with my buds in the psychedelic throwback, S.S. Cretins at The Oak & The Axe in Biddeford as well as starting the night off right at the Ramshackle Glory show a few weeks back.

Buddusky - Two of Something (2014)

Buddusky are from a part of Maine I don't hear much about. That part being Mexico, Maine. Still, Buddusky are making the once home of bingo caller/carnival barker, Ed McMahon very proud by providing simple yet cool guitar and drum music to the state.

George Costanza - Summer of George demos (2012)

It might not be summer and it might not be 2012, but it's always time for some twinkly George Costanza rock.



This is about the only time I would even consider calling something mememo.

CUT THE SHIT!

There's a substantial lack of local stuff in here right now. So, here's this:

Various artists - Portland DIY: CUT THE SHIT! Vol. 1 (2013)

CUT THE SHIT! is a "quasi record label" directed by Mike Cunnane. It also serves as the basis for a one day DIY project where 10 bands came together and recorded a track with Mike. According to the bandcamp, it was one hell of a day...

It would only be fitting that 10 bands hanging out for the day trying to record something new would turn into a mishmash of collaborations and gang vocals. That's exactly what we get with CUT THE SHIT! and it makes for a perfect batch of organic local-ness. 

The bands that gave it their all for this project include: Foam Castles, Duey Meadows, Video Nasties, Leaves Leaves, Mouth Washington, CUSS, Fur, Metal Feathers, GIMME GOLDAR, and AWAAS in that order. There's also a bonus track by Fireland featuring lots of folks from the bands above. Check it out:

Also, be on the lookout for Volume 2 coming this fall.
