Streets Kill Strange Animals. Chinese noise rock influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Yo La Tango and the rapid pace of change and modernization in China. „There was less pollution and fewer people in the 80s of my childhood, though you could enjoy less entertainment and there wasn’t such chaos in the cities. So it seems that I’m a passenger on the bus these days.”

Some moments of a Pizzaboy’s life: „I’m gonna wear the same clothes everyday in California just change my undies and socks. That was my plan but apparently I drank too much last night! Pissed the bed and lost a „Z” from my jacket… walking through the airport with a massive pee stain on my pants was pretty tight.”

Sanity Assasins’ records between 1991-1999:

The band born as a power trio with Keith Grave on fuzz bass, Adam Schwartz on guitars and Pete Riccio at drums and lead vocals in the second half of 80s in Connecticut, US. At first they played hardcore punk, then changed their style into surf punk in the mid 90s. The album is free.

Keith Grave’s new band is Atomic Buddha. It „simply picks rough RNR licks, psyched out vocals and the shittiest sound of punk, who knows, maybe they got sick of today’s garage rock bands…”

Bloodshot Records is an independent record label based in Chicago. They’ve „always been drawn to the good stuff nestled in the dark, nebulous cracks where punk, country, soul, pop, bluegrass, blues and rock mix and mingle and mutate.”  You can find a bunch of free tracks from various Bloodshot artists – Moonshine Willy, Waco Brothers, Lonesome Bob, Scroat Belly, The Handsome Family, Riptones,  The Meat Purveyors, Alejandro Escovedo, etc – here. The styles are mainly alternative country and country rock. A song from the frees: Robbie Fulks – Cigarette State

„After ten years as a „band” Pink Reason has decided to call it quits. Be on the lookout for our last record titled „Eternal Exile,” it should be available early 2014. Thanks to everyone who helped out a long the way.” – Kevin

Pink Reason was one of the most influential lo-fi punk band. It was founded by Kevin De Broux. He spent his teen age years in Siberia, so he would be a punk there, and got under the influence of Russian underground music.

I don’t understand his announcement, because there never were fixed members except for him. He made some records alone and did some one man tours with an acoustic guitar. So maybe Pink Reason is finished as a band only, and the one man Pink Reason still alive.

Long concert video

The British visual artist Mathew Sawyer play sometimes popy, sometimes rocky, sometimes punky chamber folk music with his band, The Ghost. He said 3 years before after the second album: „I wanted to make a happy record, but it didn’t really work. The next one will be so much fun… [laughs]. “ On his third album he analyses the relationship between Thanatos and Hypnos. They are twin brothers, personificators of the Death and the Sleep in the Greek mythology. Their parents, Erebos (Darkness) and Nyx (Night) born from the Chaos. And they have some children more: Moros (Doom), Momus (Mockery), Oizys (Misery), Nemesis (Revenge), Eris (Discord), Apate (Deceit), etc. Hey! What they have brought up their children for? I call the court of guardians at once.

The recordings were made in his home hand in hand with his everyday living. „The sound of cars come through the windows, the phone rings, floorboards creak. These sounds all played an important role in making this record. Studios are quiet and lifeless.”

The vinyl and analog maniac Jack White has built a „live records direct-to-acetate” system. There are no overdubs, no post-editing, there is only an engineer, who mix it in real time. Watch! & listen to a track from Melvins – Live At Third Man Records LP

Hey, there are two drummers in the band!

The Australian Goons Of Doom is an authentic surf punk band. There is a professional surfer among the members, but luckily – at least for me – there is not surf rhythm in the music. Instead of it you can find Clash- or Ramones-like classic punk rhythms. Otherwise sometimes they seem a forced stupid punk band, but this free download collection of demos and outtakes is surprisingly naturally jolly, mainly acoustic and better than their official albums.
