Scotia Widows - Demo

Artist: Scotia Widows
Album: Demo
Release: 2009
Label: Self Released

Tracklist:

1. Amish Sluts
2. Head South
3. Don't Rewind
4. Night In LA
5. Good Mosque
6. Population 1

When analzying a city, I judge its worth based on the depth of its connection to hip-hop and the overall quality of its rappers. Unfortunately for Chicago, the windy city is lacking in any legit lyrical prowess. Common? Lupe Fiasco? Kanye West? Twista? Nothing really of quality except maybe excerpts of Like Water For Chocolate. Therefore, I can only come to the conclusion that Chicago sucks. Though, it does have Mr. Chi City, which has got to count for something.

Still, I won't rule out the possibility of something decent coming from Chicago and, wouldn't you know, it exists! I would even take it a step further and say that Scotia Widows are better than decent: they're good! The band has ex-members of MK-Ultra, Sick/Tired, Pedestrians, and many more I've never heard. Looking at the resume of the band, one would expect fast, thrashy hardcore, but that's not the case here. Instead, the band plays solid mid-paced punk with clearly sung female vocals and the occasional dude vocals. Naturally, I hear echoes of X sans the rockabilly tip combined with a more hardcore spirit.

The demo opens up with "Amish Sluts," which is no doubt their catchiest moment on the demo and probably my favorite song on it. The rest of the songs follow suit and are all pretty good. I don't think I can find any noticably weak moments on the demo, so that's a plus. It's really just a fun punk demo. It has some pop qualities to it and, despite its energetic nature, isn't overly-stoked or anything annoying. I don't really come across that very often, so it's very welcomed.

I would definitely recommend that you check this out. Only 100 copies of this CD-R were made and I don't know if there are any left, but you should definitely contact the band if interested. While not normally my thing, I am still looking forward to seeing where this band goes.

Unrest - Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl 7"

Artist: Unrest
Album: Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl 7"
Release: 1992
Label: K/Teenbeat

Tracklist:

1. Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl
2. Hydroplane
3. Feeling Good Fixation

Unrest's Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl 7" is one of the finest moments from the D.C. pop act, if only for the classic title track. "Yes She Is My Skinhead Girl" hints at the sweeter pop sound that would crop up a few times on Kustom Karnal Blackxploitation and would eventually culminate in their two finest LPs, Imperial f.f.r.r. and Perfect Teeth and is the closest thing the band got to sugary pop before their Bridget Cross-era.

The combination of one of their most memorable hooks and some of their funniest lyrics makes it one of their best songs. The song takes the nerdy indie boi shtick and completely clowns it. What seems like indie whining and pining with "I want to need you all the time" is followed up with shit like "Fucking fucking on sandy beaches" and other lines implying other things just short of abuse. Mark Robinson delivers these ridiculous lyrics in a completely straight-faced manner, making it even more absurd. This song is so good that it was even covered by Nirvana, Hole, and Green Day. Or so I'm told. I haven't actually heard any of them...

The B-side of the 7" is comprised of the kraut rock-worship of "Hydroplane" and the breezy little pop ditty of "Feel Good Fixation." Neither of these are particularly memorable and merely act as simple distractions. Obviously, the title track is the main attraction here and should not be missed.

9. Unknown

I don't think I've ever been as excited about a friend's band as I was for Timber. Even though the band had four really good friends of mine (including OG poster Flynn), that's not really enough for me to get into a band. If it's bad, it's bad. However, Timber was not bad. Quite the opposite. The band was initially (and jokingly) said to sound like Weezer if they were a metalcore, but the band has subsequently been described as awkwardly existing somewhere between Hot Snakes, the classic Revolution Summer DC bands, and a bunch of other bands that no one can figure out. The band played something that was instantly familiar, yet fresh and exciting.

The band's best moment is probably their demo, which is nearly flawless. The band was only a trio at that point, comprised of only Erik, Kenny, and Matt. The only part of this CD-R that makes me shake my head is the chorus of "Toyama," which is still salvaged by its verses. The rest of the demo is incredible. "Appropriate Faith" sees the band at their most aggressive, "Baby Ears" highlights Kenny's ability to write the catchiest under-one-minute songs, "Eighties Stuff" has some sick guitar, and "Damn, Bobby" is probably their best song (along with "Beginning" from the 7"). Seriously, the song is absolutely incredible and, if I recall, was the first song the band ever wrote.

With the addition of Flynn on second guitar, the band followed up their demo CD-R with a self titled 7" on Something Crucial Records. Recorded by Joe Mitra of Wired Wrists, the sound is a little less punchy and the songwriting is more complex. This means that the EP is not as immediately catchy as the demo, but I find that it's ultimately as rewarding. As previously mentioned, "Beginning" is one of the two best things the band did and is as furious an opener as "Appropriate Faith." "Killing Time" is another sub-minute banger from Kenny and "Thorn City" ends the 7" perfectly with a sick-ass chant.

The last piece of music included is the Last Show Tape, which includes a bunch of unreleased materials, including unique songs, demo versions, and what seem to be unfinished jams. This is more for the curious fan, but it's definitely a cool listen. "Fool" ended up on one of Kenny's solo EPs and while it's a great song in acoustic form, I think it sounds even better in full band form. There were only twenty copies of these tapes made, so not even some bigger Timber fans got to hear it.

As you can tell, I have lots of love for this band. They occupied a weird territory in D.C. were they weren't hardcore or straight-up pop-punk, meaning everyone seemed to be into them. In addition to their incredible sound, both Erik and Kenny had some of the most real talk lyrics. As their popularity outside of the D.C. metro area began to grow, the band broke up. You have no idea how many of us were bummed. Still, the band rules and should definitely be heard by as many people as possible.

On Various Days - Demo

Artist: On Various Days
Album: Demo
Release: 2009
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Hours Of The Sun
2. Fall Behind
3. Between Time

On Various Days is the (as-of-now) solo project of Brain Handle guitarist, Andy Perlman, which will certainly surprise some once they hear this. OVD takes the blueprint of classic shoegaze and marries it to a love for New Zealand post-punk/psych pop/noise pop/etc. bands like This Kind Of Punishment (from which OVD gets its name), Nocturnal Projections, etc. If for some reason it wasn't apparent from Brain Handle, Andy is able to come up with some of the best guitar riffs, regardless of genre, as OVD proves. These three songs are absolutely incredible and this cassette hasn't left my tape deck since I got it.

The demo opens with "Hours Of The Sun," which opens with a cautious, yet triumphant riff, before the rest of the instrumentation catches up and Andy's deadpan, yet affecting vocals come in. Actually, it's almost as if he's lazily projecting his voice rather than singing and it compliments the noisy and droney base of the music. Soon after, a strange feeling of ascension and ultimate freedom overtakes me, as if I'm floating on DMT. [Note: I've never actually been on DMT, but I've heard it vaguely feels like this... OK, I don't know what I'm talking about.] This song acts as a perfect opener for the real gem on this demo, "Fall Behind."

This song has one of the best guitar lines I've heard in such a long time and is already one of my favorite songs of the year. Both moving and instantly familiar, it flows through the listener's head effortlessly. I don't know what it is about this song, but it's just incredible. The more I like a song, the less I have to say about it, I guess.

The demo ends with its lone B-side track, "Between Time," which while an awesome song, is kind of dwarfed by "Fall Behind." Perhaps when I get over my love affair with the latter, I will be able to fully appreciate "Between Time." Still, the song has all the trappings of the other two songs: incredible guitar and that OVD drone!

Instead of the aural destruction left in the wake of his work with Brain Handle, the feeling these songs leave the listener with is one of emotional devastation. There's nothing particularly depressing or melodramatic about it (fortunately), yet I feel defeated after each listen, which is one of the highest compliments I can give to something.

Be sure to check out this awesome tape. Considering his poooonk background and what this project sounds like, the crossover potential is boundless! Profit Center Alpha! You should definitely check this out and not hesitate on picking up a copy, as they are only $4.50 postage paid.

Count Me Out - Permanent

Album: Permanent

Release: 2001

Label: Indecision

Tracklist:

1. South Street

2. Disconnect

3. Against The World

4. Confusion

5. My Regret

6. Stakes Is High

7. Betrayed

8. This Is Getting To Be Too Routine For Me

9. Permanent

10. No Control

11. One More Reason

12. Dear You

I'm going to be real. I just read the lyrics for this album twice while listening to it. I can't tell if most of it is about the fucking straight edge (it's edge day!) or relationships. As you can see from my last post, either works for me. It only gets worse from here. Sorry peeps, I've never been dumped before.

Count Me Out was a straight edge youth crew revival band from Richmond. Like many other great hardcore bands, they have been forgotten because the scene has been flooded with hype bands (Heathen[s] are fucking sick, though). I'm a mother fucking hardcore elephant though, I don't forget shit.

CMO has two classic full length. 110 was a quick straight edge masterpiece, while Permanent is slightly more melodic, but still just as sharp. Although some of the songs are ambiguous and could go either way with their meaning, the closer, "Dear You", is undoubtedly about a past relationship. Its what's on repeat in my headphones.

Sorry to be such a downer y'all. Hope you all have a great edge day. March the streets 30 or 40 strong, united against a world that's wrong.

Cold Sweat - 1st Demo

Artist: Cold Sweat
Album: Demo
Release: 2002
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Fuck The Flock
2. Stop Crying
3. Abortion Is Dinner
4. Dead End Decision
5. Fuck And Smile
6. Yuppie Suicide
7. Kept In/Chains
8. Cross In A Bottle

I'm not going to lie: I was totally late to the Cold Sweat party. Due to my ever-present laziness and (for reasons beyond me) a lack of interest, I never got around to listening to them until a little more than a year ago. The thought that I waited that long still kills me because Cold Sweat is definitely one of the best hardcore bands of the 2000s. Not only are both of their LPs, 2003's Severed Ties and 2004's Blinded, absolutely flawless, but they predated (by years) and pioneered the noisy and chaotic hardcore sound that is all-too-prevalent these days. Nothing was forced, everything was sincere, and, most of all, this shit rages like no other and the band's bone-shattering intensity is matched by its equally maniacal frontman. Yes, that is a Grand Belial's Key shirt, haha.

This tape, their first collection of songs, make up more than half of the songs on Severed Ties, with "Yuppie Suicide" being the only song excluded. In terms of sound, these songs are not sharp and piercing as the LP versions, but are still phenomenal. I'm sure it was apparent to those who heard this when it came out that the band was on to something from the very start. From the opener of "Fuck The Flock," the band takes off with blinding speed and rarely lets up. When it does, though, the band proves it can tackle slower, dirgier material like "Abortion Is Dinner," only to transition back into the fast shit with incredible "Dead End Decision." This demo is so sick!

Since 2010 is rapidly approaching, the band is obviously broken up, but members have moved onto to other bands (functioning or otherwise), such as Walls, Men's Interest, Country Club, etc., so I guess you should check those out if you're interested. Both fans of the band and newcomers should not hesitate to check this out.

Carry On - A Life Less Plagued

1. The View

2. Waiting On Forever

3. Killing A Sound

8. X's Always Win

9. So Much Of You

10. Off My Chest

11. Broken Strings

12. Rethinking

There are two ways of coping that I normally go with when I'm feeling heartbroken and bummed out. The usual way I like to go is blaming myself and for that my soundtrack is Red House Painters, Elliot Smith, maybe even a lil' Dashboard. But this time around I don't feel like I was at fault. Now for that, I bang out some angry straight edge, youth crew revival hardcore. There is nothing that makes me want to get more buck than this.

Carry On was a straight edge youth crew revival band from California. During their small time as a band they put out one of the best hardcore records ever. A Life Less Plagued is a fucking blazer. These 12 perfect tracks come in at almost 19 minutes. It's fast. It's angry. It's straight edge-as-fuck and it's exactly what I need right now.

With Edge Day right around the corner, this is a perfect time to get hyped on the X's.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go lie awake.

The Super Friendz - Sticktoitivness

1. 10 Lbs.

3. Undertow

4. Rescue Us From Boredom

5. One Day

11. Half-Mast

12. Restricted

13. Better Call

14. Down In Flames

15. Boots

16. Come Clean

17. When They Paid Me

The Super Friendz are not the first band one thinks of when someone says "mid-90s Canadien indie rock," but more like the fifth or sixth (that is, if anyone even thinks about it at all, which they don't). Bands like the kinda-boring, decent Sloan or lo-fi kings Eric's Trip always take precedence over this group of nerdy, white males, yet it's only really fair in the case of the latter. The Super Friendz's Slide Show is one of my favorite indie LPs of the 90s with its marriage of classic pop and Television-esque weaving guitars. Their earlier material, covered here on Sticktoitivness as a sort of-failed introduction for American audiences, is still well worth listening to, though.

Sticktoitivness covers selections from their first LP, Mock Up, Scale Down and their 10" Play The Game, Not Games. This is a peculiar release, as there is plenty of room for the discarded tracks, yet they're entirely absent. Strange. Still, the best songs are still included, so we all still win! Almost every song is a gem: "10lbs." "Karate Man," "Undertow," "Rescue You From Our Boredom," and I just now realized I'm naming the songs in order because they all rule and I've been listening to them way too much recently. I guess this is more of a gushfest than a proper write-up, but then again aren't all of my posts?

Come see for yourself how fucking awesome Canadian music can be! Sike, Canada rules all the time. This fell apart so quickly.

Shiva Affect - Rest Is Easy 7"

Artist: Shiva Affect
Album: Rest Is Easy 7"
Release: 1994
Label: Frog

Tracklist:

1. Rest Is Easy [7" Version]
2. Pitch Black

Awhile back I posted Shiva Affect's excellent full length, Yahweh, a piece of shoegaze-inflected post-punk that slipped through the cracks of time, unfairly I might add. Aside from the LP, the band recorded a porno-groovy 10" entitled Pitch Black and this 7", the first version of the best song the band ever did, "Rest Is Easy," as well as the first release from the U.K.'s Frog Records.

The main version of this song appears in an almost-twelve minute form on Yahweh, but is almost half that length here. Yahweh is a rather mellow album and while probably the noisiest song on the LP, it has nothing on this version, which has a much rawer production and lacks any of the more gentle parts of the rerecorded version. With a propulsive bassline and piercing guitars, this is probably their most noise pop or shoegaze moment, which makes me like this version more than that on the LP. The b-side consists of "Pitch Black," which takes the aural assault of the title track and takes it up another notch, though coming somewhat at the expense of a true song underneath all the feedback. Still, it's a very cool song.

This 7" is a great compliment to an excellent album or, if you haven't heard Yahweh yet, serves as an excellent introduction to the band.

Doughboys - When Up Turns To Down

Artist: Doughboys
Album: When Up Turns To Down
Release: 1992
Label: Emergo/Restless

Tracklist:

1. When Up Turns To Down
2. So Long
3. What's Going On
4. Deep End [Remix]
5. Private Idaho (The B-52s)

Ah yes, the EP. Sometimes, a beautiful, solid mini-suite of songs that leaves you wanting more (see: Ruines Humaines, Sap). At others, total and unabashed filler. The Doughboys -- with short-lived new bassist John Deslauriers playing on three of the five tracks presented here-- fall mostly into the latter category, but at least the fluff is mostly enjoyable.

The title cut opens with John Kastner's steadily less snotty and more melodic vocals and a riff that sounds like it was snatched from future A&M labelmates Soundgarden. The verses of "So Long" have a nice bounce recalling the band's earlier days, while the choruses seem to be held out longer and give an indication of where the band was going to go with Crush. "What's Going On" kinda sucks-- too garagey riffing. The remix of the Happy Accidents album's "Deep End" proves to be mixed far louder than the original, and to good effect (trivia: the opening "GOOO!" is courtesy of Voivod vocalist Snake). Kastner's vocals still sound great, but the guitars are far more cranked here.

But, real talk, the ultimate treat on this EP is the closing cover of the B-52s' "Private Idaho," with lead guitarist Jon Cummins taking the helm. Wonderfully tongue-in-cheek, and ending with Cummins blurting "SATAN IS MY MATTRESS! SATAN IS MY MATTRESS!"

Walknut - Graveforests And Their Shadows

Artist: Walknut
Album: Graveforests And Their Shadows
Release: 2007 (CD), 2009 (LP)
Label: Stellar Winter, Northern Heritage

Tracklist:

1. Hrimfaxi
2. Motherland Ostenvegr
3. Come, Dreadful Ygg
4. The Midnightforest Of The Runes
5. Grim Woods
6. Skinfaxi

While I've been listening to Walknut's Graveforests And Their Shadows fairly regularly since it came out almost two years ago, I've been playing it a lot lately due to the sudden drop in temperature. Sharing an infatuation similar to that of Drudkh and Hate Forest, Walknut preoccupies itself with Eastern European pagan mythology that coalesces with this type of music quite effortlessly. Despite the band's affiliation/allegiance to Blazebirth Hall, the band's personal politics aren't placed in the forefront nearly as much as other acts more closely related to that group of bands, such as Temnozor or the great Branikald.

I'm not the biggest fan of atmospheric black metal, but Walknut does right by me. While I tend to prefer raw and lo-fi recordings, the warm (yet, ultimately cold) production on this recording allows everything to come fully to fruition, creating a majestic, yet numbing sound. The feeling produced is very boreal, one that could only come from Russia.

Beginning with a standard intro (though, this sets up the cold atmosphere quite well), the album kicks off with "Motherland Ostenvegr," one of the three, ten minute-plus songs that are the main focus of Graveforests. Built on the repetition of its masterful guitar parts, each successive riff seems more creative than the one that preceded it and, really, everything just sounds right. With all this in mind, this sounds like the closest thing to Burzum we're going to hear just short of any new material Varg may put out.

If you're an avid fan of the style or Blazebirth Hall stuff, you've surely already heard this. For those not so lucky, be sure to check out this classic release and just accept that yet another lonely, depressing winter is approaching.

General Interest - Right By The Beach 12"

Artist: General Interest
Album: Right By The Beach 12"
Release: 2009
Label: Ride The Snake

Tracklist:

1. Crusty Dog Show
2. Capricious Youth
3. Right By The Beach
4. Nuke The Ocean
5. Cops In Love
6. What's A Darfur
7. I Still Vote For Reagan
8. Drunk Doctor
9. Sick Of Waiting

Featuring ex- or current members of the Conversions, Red Thread, Chompy, Bloody Gears, Eunuch, and perhaps most importantly Sexual Janitor, General Interest are a not-so-new band out of Boston even though this is their first proper release (I'm not counting their demo tape). Everyone around here knows them because they used to play just about every other basement show in town as Steve (vocal stylings) and Wendy (bass) lived at Platonic Sleepover House (RIP).

I think for this reason I didn't ever really think about listening to General Interest. That and the fact that they're usually compared to bands like the Minutemen and Big Boys. It's not that I don't like these bands, it's just that I think bands ripping them off are a novelty nowadays. And perhaps they are because not many bands sound like General Interest in 2009, but Right by the Beach is good enough that it's been spinning pretty consistently on my turntable since I first picked it up in May (note: this was just the "release" version, it actually came out mid-September). It's short and sweet enough that it remains tight throughout, which is what General Interest should stick to. The only song over two minutes ("Sick of Waiting") wears on me at times.

Propelled by the off-kilter guitar riffs and bass lines that draw the Minutemen comparisons, I'd throw in a Black Randy comparison for Steve's vocals (maybe just because it seems that every Boston review needs a Dangerhouse comparison these days). No one is safe from his acerbic wit. After all, life is pain. Maybe I like his lyrics because that's what he's like in real life, but probably more so because he hates on everyone that bothers me too, whether those damn punks like in "Crusty Dog Show" (everyone knows Crucifix hats are way cooler than Crass backpatches) or those goddamn "Capricious Youth." Even though punks aren't supposed to take themselves seriously, we all know that some of them do, and it's nice to have someone to rag on them for you.

Let's be real though, the highlight of this album is Rob's riff ripped straight from Space Jam in "Drunk Doctor."

Someone requested (in the comments of some past post that I can't remember) that we post some Veronica Lake and I am more than happy to fulfill that. I discovered them from the now-defunct youshallknowourdiscography blog and, thanks to that dude's unwavering love for the band, we can all get the Veronica Lake we deserve. Is that creepy?

Hailing from the home of the Wolverines (Ann Arbor, Michigan for all you unathletic geeks), Veronica Lake are probably the best bedroom twee pop band to ever exist. Too bad no one gave/gives a shit about them, eh? Lo-fi and precious without being TOO precious, the band created quite a few dreamy pop gems that are some of my favorite songs ever. The band has a batting average (MORE SPORTS) similar to that of Black Tambourine, where the band didn't always quite get it right, but when they did, HOLY SHIT.

Still, everything the band recorded is listenable, but the standouts are key: their still contribution to the spinART Pop Licks 7" comp dwarfs every other band included. Their yellow-colored 7" includes "When You Smile" and, despite the idea of a guava popsicle being absolutely disgusting to me, it is my favorite Veronica Lake song. [Real Talk: It's one of my favorite songs, period, and is a standard selection for my mixtapes made for the uninterested ears of friends. If you didn't get this song on a mix from me, I don't care about you.] The Man Who Was Not With It 7" is their finest solo moment, with both sides finding the band at their most fragile and contemplative. Their contribution to the legendary (and overrated) ...One Last Kiss comp, "Daisy Kiss," is the band's most dream pop/shoegaze moment and stands up to anything on that CD, even the Magnetic Fields' classic "100,000 Fireflies."

These are my personal favorite moments of Veronica Lake, but that doesn't mean you won't find your own. Well, maybe it does if you just hate this kind of sissy bullshit, but I love it, so fuck you.
