Monday LXXXXI

M(u)NDAY(sic).

14 Foot 1 - Two (2012)

Just some solid math rock about farm animals, Foo Fighters, and the number 15. A follow-up to their debut, Christ Grenades from all the way back in 2007.



Really surprised I missed this release until now.

Greef - Greef (2013)

Greef is Pete from Portland, ME's favorite folk nightmare, Butcher Boy. Greef is also the name of this analog exploitation of fuzzy lo-fi. The best way to describe it really is to say it's less like a musical experience and more like a listening experience...


...Like finding a cassette on the side of the road that still works even with its tape ripped out.

Heccra - The Last Weekend of Summer EP (2012)

Heccra ain't your average mom and pop screamo band. It ain't your average emo-because-Buzzfeed-told-me-it-was band either. Never would I have thought of calling a genre of music "mutilated" until I first heard Heccra's distorted and all-out exploded post-hardcore music, but that's what I would call Heccra.

None of what I just wrote right there might make any sense. If it did... you listened to The Last Weekend of Summer. If not... listen to The Last Weekend of Summer.

14 Foot 1

14 Foot 1 - Christ Grenades (2007)

14 Foot 1 play twinkly math rock driven jingles. They are either from Massachusetts (according to their Bandcamp) or Rhode Island (according to Last.fm) and look something like this:

14 Foot 1 are signed to New Neighbor Records along with The Devil and a Penny - the band that led me to these guys. Not to get off subject, but The Devil and a Penny have a new release due out tomorrow and everyone should check it out. I say them (The Devil and a Penny) a little while back, opening for Algernon Cadwallader, and they totally killed it. 14 Foot 1 also kill it from what I'm hearing on this release entitled, 'Christ Grenades'. Very progressive stuff. Very toe tapping stuff. Very good stuff. 

Similar acts/sounds: The Devil and a Penny, Flesh Forest and The Elephant Only Zoo, Tiny Hawks, Japandi, Good Citizens, Royal Blood, The Rice Cakes, and other instrumental G-tappers.
