Neon Blud - Whipps CS




Artist: Neon Blud
Album: Whipps CS
Release: 2009
Label: Cult Maternal

1. Andrea's Blud/Neon Plunge
2. Sophomore Blud
3. Neon Anxiety
4. BFF Blud
5. Neon Wounds/Puncture 4 Pleasure
6. Neon Agenda


Neon Blud is yet another new project from the incestuous Tampa scene [read: seven, very bored people]. While their love of Sonic Youth was somewhat apparent in the past (Cult Ritual covering "Death Valley '69," bootleg t-shirts, etc.), this influence comes to full fruition with the Neon Blud project. The band utilizes feedback to create ultra-catchy melodies and marries them to great, female vocals spouting off lyrics that, while I haven't looked at any of them, most certainly revolve around drugs and prurience. I don't know why, but when I listen to this demo it becomes apparent why the project is named Neon Blud, as the name just sounds like and reeks of the same quality of the music and vice versa. This isn't my favorite project to emerge from the Tampa camp, but it's still a solid tape.

Look for this to come out as a 7" next year on Fan Death.

Not at all, though you might want to wait a little. The rip of the Nazi Dust 7" going around is really shitty and Pat is sending me the masters when he gets back from tour. Just a thought!

Evander Holywar has prepared a review of it for tomorrow. He's had mp3s of it for months, so he's very intimate with it!

Just found your post. Thanks for that.
While searching i found news that they are about to release new stuff (soon?):

Don't know about that 'label' (http://www.econore.com)...seems quite small but active at least.

Do you have any more neon blud stuff?

They have a 12" coming out called B Girls. It's way better than this tape.

Jason said...

Cool...even better? I can't wait.
Are you gonna post it? Or do you know where to get it when it's released? What label?
I really like this tape and want more!!

I'll probably post it. It's coming out on Drugged Conscience. Should be out in a matter of weeks.
