So somebody sent me this a couple weeks ago and I’ve heard some mixed criticism – people either don’t like this chick’s voice, get pissed because they “destroyed” a Cock Sparrer song, or totally love it (like I do). I was having some drama and this shit kinda brought me to tears. Maybe it isn’t as good as I think it is and I was just in a “mood” if you will – I’ve listened to it since then and I still kinda like it but I’m interested in your opinion. What do you Continue reading Cunt Sparrer – ‘Because You’re Young’…  Watch Out For Rockets kind of sounds like the name of some crappy “emo pop” band, like “Eye Alaska” or “We The Kings” – while I dono about their name, one thing’s for sure – they are not a crappy emo pop band. WOFR falls into that vein of stuff that’s awesome but that I have yet to perfectly describe. This band (somehow) aligns with the likes of Port O’Brien or Aunt Dracula, but at the same time they sound like Superdrag and the Beach Boys, or the Byrds or Continue reading (Band to) Watch Out For Rockets (srsly.)…  8000 bam bam (Samuel Cooper) & Baby Seal (Brady Keehn) first started working together at Savannah College of Art and Design during the post production stage of Samuel’s senior thesis film, MILES. Their relationship was strictly dealing with dialogue and the mixing of original songs for the short film, in which Brady was the Post Sound Supervisor. Eventually having completed MILES, the two had worked so well together on the last project that starting a new one only made sense. Thus SUNGLASSES was born. These dudes totally remind us of one of Aunt Dracula who were one of our most favoritist Fantastic Picks from like 2009 or 2008. Definitely not the same dudes, but definitely the same level of Continue reading Band To Watch: Sunglasses – Whiplash…  We at the weapon definitely dig Warpaint, and we’re also pretty stoked to hear that we’re gonna get to see ‘em with Yeasayer next month. The rest of the country gets ‘em with Akron/Family which ain’t too shabby, either. Dig some tunes and videos Continue reading Warpaint – ‘Elephants’ Video, Tour With Akron/Family…  The fuck is a dope boy allstar? Ehhh urban dictionary likes to give the following definition: A Dope Boy All Star is any person who distributes illicit substances. The term is most often used to describe a young male that excels at selling to a specific geographic area or neighbourhood, and most likely moves hard drugs (ex. cocaine, crack), as well as the standard marijuana and prescription pills. A ‘Dope Boy All Star’ IS the hood Continue reading Dirty, Rotten, Scandalous: Dope Boy Allstars…  Let’s be honest here: Galapaghost sounds a lot like a lot of stuff we’ve already heard. True. But you can probably name 5 bands you love the shit out of that sound a lot alike, right? Well, so can we. For starters: The Magnetic Fields, Dent May & His Magnificient Ukelele, Fleet Foxes, Fools Gold, Continue reading Galapaghost is Ukel-Indie Rock At Its Finest…  I get really, really skeptical when bands who send me music to review list REALLY GOOD artists under their “Influences.” So I was immediately expecting an aural atrocity when I visited Daddy Lion’s myspace page and they had the following artists listed as major influences: Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr., Iggy Pop, Bowie, Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Sonic Youth, T. Rex, Buddy Holly, Beatles, Pavement, and Modest Continue reading Band To Watch: Daddy Lion…  This video was made over two days on a zero budget by this band called Burning Hank. We think it’s pretty good. Check them out on bandcamp and if you dig ‘em visit their myspace for more tunes. I feel kinda bad cause I feel like these guys deserve more than a mention in a post. Hopefully they’ll throw us more goodies in 2010 so we can do them Continue reading Obligatory Holiday Post…  But I betchya didn’t know he put out music. I did. My friend’s dad had the LP when we were in Junior High but I ignored it cause I didn’t want to ruin my childhood memories. Haha. Or something. But we listened to it. A lot of it was about getting stoned and drinking. Kinda seemed odd to me when I was 13 – like, what a creep, you know? But it’s not like it’s been in my mind for 10 years. I probably haven’t thought about it since, until I bumped into the sweetest video ever on Continue reading Flashback: Shel Silverstein on The Johnny Cash Show…  Fact: There are crappy remixes all over the place.
Fact: Nintendocore SUCKS.
Fact: Zelda was a pretty epic game
Fact: The Ocarina of Rhyme basically Continue reading The Ocarina Of Rhyme – TEAM TEAMWORK… |
