CRYSTAL SWELLS- HARSH SIDE/SLUDGE FREAKS 7"

This is the perfect acid-fried, garage-pop, speed-trip for your summer! Four jams in seven minutes, oodles of reverb on the vocals, drums that sound like Chuck Biscuits backing Dick Dale and some truly killer guitar playing! This band has been at it for a few years and they always rule! You can download the individual tracks on the bandcamp... ohh, just got to track three and it's a fucking anthem! this band is too good!

MONOMYTH

Monomyth are a new band from Halifax making great shoegaze-surf-jangle-noise-pop... Now, of course that sounds like a million other trendy bullshit bands that currently populate every music scene in the western world BUT these four dudes have the edge. Great musicianship, songwriting and a fuck-ton of charm. I had the honour of meeting and sharing a stage with these guys last night and needless to say, they were the highlight of the night by a Texas mile. They're touring Canada right now and are all the way from Halifax so if you live on Vancouver Island or in Vancouver, go see them this week before they go back to their crab fishing jobs.

BROKEN WATER- WHET

Broken Water are my favourite band currently operating out of Olympia, where good bands seemingly form every other day. To describe them would be a disservice to the quality of their songs and the sound of this LP. All I will say that is that they pay homage to the late 80's SST roster better than I ever thought possible. Please go see them when they come to your town!
