Check It Out: Nancy

Leave a comment

So the other day while saying goodbye to some friends at the local tattoo shop here in Las Cruces, my pal Walker asked me if I have ever heard of a band called Nancy.  Of course I was quick to ask who Nancy was and before I even finished my sentence, he was jamming them throughout the whole shop.

I am completely obsessed with this band right now.  Think Ramones and MC5 with some surf punk fun mixed in.

After taking a few moments to scour the internet to find out more about them, all I could find out was they hail from Wyoming.  Other then that, I got nothing.  Let’s hope that changes soon.  In the mean time, check out this bitching band:

Music Video: Mission South – “Peaches”

Leave a comment

Check out the intense video for “Peaches” by roots / rock trio Mission South:

There is a definite Black Keys / Dr. Dog feel going on here and I really dig it.  Not to mention, the video is kind of awesome and dark as hell at the same time.

Did you dig the tune as much as I did?  Well you are in luck, the band is offering all of their tunes for free.  Yup, free.  Check it out: http://music.missionsouth.com

So who are Mission South?  They are a soul blues rock band straight out of DC who just dropped their sophomore release titled Migration, Vol. 2.  The three members have been friends for years and spite all those growing pains many bands go throughout life, they stuck together and have dropped a pretty amazing EP.

Apparently today, they recorded a Daytrotter session.  I look forward to hearing that when it releases.

Short notice, but apparently the band is playing Cleveland tomorrow night, if you dig what you hear, you should head on out to their show…if you can figure out where they are playing at.  I looked all over the interwebs and could not find what venue.

Get Involved with Get Involved!

Leave a comment
Recently members from Thursday, From Autumn To Ashes, Glassjaw, and Judge announced a new project in the works called Get Involved!
Inspired by their shared influences of punk, hardcore, new wave and metal, Get Involved! came together to create an entirely new group, unlike any of their previous endeavors.  Brian Deneeve (From Autumn to Ashes), Todd Weinstock (Glassjaw), Tucker Rule (Thursday), Lars Weiss (Judge) and Derrick Karg each bring a unique style to the band, resulting in a sound that’s dark and heavy yet accessible and memorable. With a release in the works to be dropped later this year, Get Involved! is asking for your help through their Kickstarter Campaign.  You all know how Kickstarter works.  Head on over and help out if you care to.  I know I already pledged $20.  I am stoked to see what this band creates!

Support music, support art, and Get Involved! Back Get Involved!’s Kickstarter Campaign now.  With just 2 weeks left, the band is just over 40% to their goal.  Help out if you can!!!

New Music: Iron Chic – Spooky Action

Leave a comment

What word would I use to tell you all about how I am feeling right now about Iron Chic‘s new EP titled Spooky Action?

Honestly, who cares what I have to say or think?

Just listen to this EP now by the Long Island’s Iron Chic.  I am ok with this.

This band continues to amaze me.  Their new tracks are exactly what I have been waiting for.  I literally freaked out when I heard the third song as M.A.S.H.’s theme song is stuck in my head a lot and I had no explanation why.  At least I am not the only one now who has this issue.  Track three is also a solid cover of “Goofy’s Concern” by the legendary Butthole Surfers.

I can not wait for them to drop more stuff soon.  I have been waiting for a follow up on Not Like This since 2010 (crazy it has been that long).  Look for a 7″ to be pressed for Spooky Action at the end of the month.  Sadly it looks like it is an overseas thing only, but that is what the Internet and your mom’s credit card are for.

A-F Records Sampler

Leave a comment

I can’t say that I am surprised that two of my favorite Cleveland acts were picked up by A-F Records.

Earlier today, A-F Records shared a pretty kick ass announcement:

Today, we’re proud to welcome “Worlds Scariest Police Chases,” “Worship This!” and “All Dinosaurs” to the A-F Records family.  We’ll be releasing records from all of them this summer.  In the mean time we’ve put up a free digital sampler for download containing two  songs from each artist.  It’s available at: www.a-frecords.com/sampler

Click on the above photo to download a killer sampler through A-F Records.  I am liking what I am hearing already.

Here is what members of Anti-Flag had to say about these new additions to their label:

WORLDS SCARIEST POLICE CHASES – Pittsburgh, PA –www.facebook.com/wspolicechases

“I know you are not supposed to play favorites with your children. And being a ¼ of Anti-Flag  and A-F Records means that all of our collective releases are our “kids”… But fuck it. This is hands down the most important record we released and may ever release. I produced it with them over 4 days and I still LAUGH/CRINGE/FEEL SHOCKED AND OFFENDED by each brutal track. They’re fucking cops. They’ll steal your pot. They hate their dads. And their songs are fucking incredible.” – Chris#2

WORSHIP THIS! – Akron, OH – www.facebook.com/WorshipThisOH

“In a laptop production era, it’s pretty great to come across a band that gives a shit. Worship This! are a band that you want to be friends with. They sound real, sincere, touchable, on a level that I haven’t seen in years. Melodic punk rock in a world where there is very little true melodic punk rock. Tracked live, “Tomorrow, I’ll Miss You”, is 4 friends capturing and documenting real life. If you like records that are Copernican, you’re going to want this in your collection.” – Justin Sane

ALL DINOSAURS – Cleveland, OH – www.facebook.com/TodosLosDinosaurios

“All Dinosaurs share sonic kinship to Propaghandi…fast, brutal, without being a “metal” band. Road dogs without a care for the confines of genre, they’re a band who can and will play for everyone and with everyone” – Chris #2

Congratulations to Worship This!, All Dinosaurs, and World’s Scariest Police Chases!!!  I look forward to hearing both of your releases this summer.  Speaking of new releases, the good dudes in Signals Midwest are putting the finishing touches of their next release that will drop this summer as well.  And people told me there is no music scene in Cleveland…
