lo-fi, minimal, but real bed- & bathroom pop with 3 eggs
by Tomorrows Tulips

„Baby” & „Glued to You” from the album „When”

Strange Yonder (AUS, Sept 22) – Ayo Silver (EU, Sept 27) – Burger Recs (US, Oct 7)

They have written that their new album shows the band’s evolution through a blend of pop sensibilities with post punk and noise rock. OK, but every music after punk is post punk. And compared to this, every rock is noise.

Euro tour in Oct

One rnr666 boss Pali said that Nathan Loud Fag Cop singer’s new songs are „very mucking good!” Lo-fi garage punk rattling straight from the basement

Fag Cop (sometimes Ex-Fag Cop) is a raw punk band in the middle of the States in Lawrence, Kansas, where the most viable musical life is to be found between Chicago and Denver – was written by New York Times in 2005. Maybe it is a side-effect of a nuclear attack by Soviets in 1983. Yes, nuclear attack, of course. It was televised.

Frankly, I’m fed up with garage rock. And Straight Arrows are also a garage rock band, but luckily in Australia. I can tell lots of fashionable phrase about their music: fuzzy, psychedelic, garage rock, punk attitude etc. But all the same, it’s wonderful.

„Rising” LP, CD, digital album on Rice Is Nice (AUS), Agitated (UK) and Hozac Records (USA) on next week

The new PIRESIAN BEACH EP „shows

that Zsófia Németh is not here to make music to run away from boredom. These tunes prove her progression of writing better and better pop songs, in a shell of garage and psychedelic rock.

Guess the party was too hardcore

cause the ending song ‘VITAMINS’ reminds me of nothing else but a funeral procession. Despite being the heaviest song on the EP, or the heaviest ever written by PIRESIAN BEACH, it is also very catchy, which can leave you in awkward situations. Like whistling it on your regular summertime visit to the cemetery.” French video maker Psyche Coaster has just made a video for this song

You can download the EP from Bandcamp for free but you can support PIRESIAN BEACH with a donation as well. (Money will go on cheap guitars or expensive beers). And buy PIRESIAN BEACH / JC SATÁN split 7″ with 2×2 songs.

An introduction / invocation / guide to the new EP from David (Romania, Broken cups, Terrible Ted, Los Vargitos etc.)

It’s been two years since the last Piresian Beach EP was released. Alle Falle hit a darker tone, now I cannot see for miles is a much more mixed one, sporting brighter tones as well and a nice pack of self-irony. RNR666 is here to present. You are here to consume.

The album starts off with a slower, yet still energic one, called ‘Sex Claws’. Zsofia rings her trademark voice with backing vocals giving an ancient feel that Mother Nature herself invites us to her bedroom. Don’t let me out in the dark, she begs but it won’t happen, as the song gets brighter and brighter, filling the mind. In more human words: make sure you wear comfortable underwear listening to this.

World peace ends fast as ‘Well who are you‘ operates with a tobacco filled throat, yelling, but still catchy vocals, drums which pump glitter in your face and guitars inspired by folk songs.

Weird songs are always welcome. Weird songs with self-irony are more than welcome. Mix the two ingredients and you get a cocktail of fun and remorse: ‘Blood in the gutter’. Not suitable for children under the age of 3.

‘I cannot see for miles’ is one of the faster songs on the EP but it has a strange flow that makes it one of the slowest. It’s like bathing nude in overhelming waves of warm water in a spa among miserable old people, without giving any fuck.

‘Rotten Raspberries’ is not the highlight of the album but you can still make some push ups, or show your stupidest dance moves in a party to your friends in glasses while listening to it.

Guess the party was too hardcore cause the ending song ‘Vitamins’ reminds me of nothing else but a funeral procession. Despite being the heaviest song on the EP, or the heaviest ever written by Piresian Beach, it is also very catchy, which can leave you in awkward situations. Like whistling it on your regular summertime visit to the cemetery.

This EP shows that Zsófia Németh is not here to make music to run away from boredom. These tunes prove her progression of writing better and better pop songs, in a shell of garage and psychedelic rock.

“Only vanity makes people take risks.”
