Desperately optimist French raw psych pop with the taste of 60s

P.K. 14 (Public Kingdom for Teens) is the most influential Chinese post-punk band. The singer, Yang Haisong is one of China’s  better-known young poets. Their music is influenced by Joy Division, Talking Heads, Television, Pere Ubu, Fugazi, Bauhaus, Wilco and more. The album „1984” was recorded in Chicago with Steve Albini!

It’s released in August on CD and digitally by Maybe Mars Records, but now it’s on vinyl too by  Tenzemen.

Yang Haisong has two sideprojects. Dear Eloise – electro noise pop with his wife, and After Argument – shows his interests in Washington D.C. punk bands.

Vex Ruffin is musician, who don’t wanna be part of any community or any scene. He makes strange minimalist music with punk, new wave and hip-hop elements.

„Police des Moeurs is the soundtrack for the nuclear night, a transition moment between the end of utopia and the final ecological disaster.”French Canadian paranoid, cold, melodic and nostalgic electronic music for broken hearts and dark minds.  For the fans of New Order, Xeno & Oaklander and same ones.

While I was watching the video it occurred to me that one of my favourite countries from the point of view of music is Canada.

The Sneaky Pinks is another face of Nobunny. Primitive deep lo-fi punk music

…one suburban north Texas night in 2004 mindlessly watching MTV, two high school friends started free-associatively joking about a fictional, strange, comedy band that sings about stupid stuff…they laughed so hard that they actually discussed making this band a reality…under the influence of Frank Zappa…very entartaining eclectic music by Plastic Uno (band)

Orgy of Sweetness: Unology – digital compilation 2004-13 by Teflon Beast
Turn back the player to the first track! The 7th is a Beach Boys cover.
Maybe it will be released on cassette also.
Oh, I almost forgot: a free EP

„Perverse, Avant Garbagé.”

Telephone Explosion is a record label in Toronto. Some names from their roster: Crosss, Demon’s Claws, Holy Cobras, Hell Shovel, Ty Segall, Young Mother. Only the first class. The brand new release is fast-furious-raw & distorted punk

 by Soupcans. Often it’s like the 80s Japanese noisecore.

The Parasite Brain EP is a co-release with Jack Shack Records (US)

Blind Shake > hard rumbling noise rock with a little taste of psychedelia. Le Pasion

from „Key To A False Door” album. It’s released by Castle Face

Jim Blaha: Debt.”
