Happy Monday and happy Dead Prez day, everybody.
High Pop - Hippie Speed Ball (2011)
Lo-fi garage surf rock stuff. Like it was recorded in a high school gym. Very fuzzy...

Nails - Unsilent Death (2010)
Heavy and quick hardcore that people like to make up genres for.
Perfect for listening to while finishing off a bowl of nails for breakfast to get your day going.
Unsilent Death (the song) gets me so fired up! Ungodly riffage galore!

Glue! - Glue! (2009)
Glue! is/was a punk band that features Erica Feas of RVIVR and Hooky. Glue! is much more straight forward punk than her other bands and her custom scratchy vox are less clean and harder to understand. Still a cool listen if you enjoy things associated with RVIVR, however and it's only four tracks...
Rumbletowne Records (for live track)

Evian Christ - Kings And Them (2012)
Evian Christ (real name Joshua Leary) is a rising producer of some pretty dark hip hop beats. He started off posting his stuff on the Youtubes (which he has since taken down) and is now on super hip label Tri-Angle Records. I usually don't like anything from a record label with acts that have triangles, crosses, a bunch of O's or boring music in them, not just because they look really pretentious, but because I don't really like boring music and don't have time to constantly try to get in to them because it's just not rewarding in the end. Evian Christ, though, caught my attention instantly with his eerie/cloudy soundscape, deep bass and sparse rapping (mostly sampled) that is right up my alley these days. It's simple but I really like it!
I've been seeing a little bit of hype for this guy and every time I do, I always seem to see a comment that reads something like, "why do people like this, it sounds like that other stuff?" and I can't seem to agree. I still find Evian Christ pretty different. He's no Clams Casino or Blue Sky Black Death but he surely makes music that I want to listen to...
So take that.
