Unborn, by Glasir

//Glasir||Unborn\\

1. Precipice

2. Until We Dissolve

3. Into the Void

Crashing drums, flowing guitar, and dark basslines make up Unborn, by Glasir. This three song release clocks in at over 22 minutes, and the band throws repetitive, mind-dulling song structure, into what could quite possibly be the most melancholy sound a group of people can make. These instrumental tracks give a feeling of finality to the listener, and the dark and growing song songs are
definitely something anyone who is a fan of the genre could get into. The final track, "Into the Void" is the paramount of the release, giving a good sense of a closing that makes you want to start the entire trip over again. While usually I would get bored of a release that seems to never end, what is going for works so well, and is so listenable, I would recommend this to anyone looking for new music. Being able to display amazing emotions without words has always been what can make or break an instrumental band, and Glasir 100% knows how to make it. You can download this release for Free of their bandcamp, but if you like it, I would throw some $$$ their way. I can't wait to hear more from this band.

Still by Nouns

NOUNS---------STILL

1. Fourteen

2. I feel as though I've failed

3. Soccer ball

4. fox wound

5. closer

6. wreck

7. ghost legs

8. little slugger

9. ski mask

10. daydream

11. I still want to make you proud

12. but I can't stay here

Arkansas band Nouns released Still a while back, and this is a quick look at what is one of the more notable releases of 2014. After Still Bummed, their first major release, the band had a lot to live up to, and they met the bar and just raised it higher. With personal lyrics, wonderful sound through hi end lo-fi recordings, and great vocal types, this band throws a wide variety of indie space-rock/emo music into the world. The twelve songs each hold a personal feeling, meaning that there is not a dull moment on this release that incorporates so much sound. In all 12 of the songs, the overall vibe is a more spacey/withdrawn/ghost like vibe that really sounds amazing. Vocals are removed in the release in most parts, and I think that the recording style fits the music so well. This is a release that you need to check out, it's one everyone needs to listen to.

You Still Suck by P.S. Fuck You

//You Still Suck||P.S. Fuck You\\

1. You've Got "God" On Your Side (I Caught You Praying Earlier)

2. Escape

3. F.N.A

4. Abyss

5. Cocaine Vatican

6. Pass The Knife

7. Rest In Shit

P.S.Fuck You throws down some crazy powerviolence/sludge/grindcore with You Still Suck, showcasing what they can do in just around seven minutes. Filled with loud guitar and destructive drums, a mixture of screeching highs and deep, dark growls, and spacy-feedback, this is one angry release. Runtimes are, of course, short as hell, but there is still a lot of song here. The final song on this is the kicker, showcasing some crazy vocals and some crazy instrumentation and some crazy shit in general. The kind of stuff you get fucked up to. And if you close your eyes and imagine hard enough, you can pretend that the entire release is just one long 7 minute song.

Flowers in D-Minor (Nirvana Cover Songs) by Bleed The Pigs

Flowers In D Minor by Bleed The Pigs 

Covers songs:

1. Drowner

2. Endless Nameless. 

Bleed the Pigs
Flowers in D Minor (Nirvana Covers)
Bleed the pigs is a really cool punk/skramz band, and their two song release is their own spin on some Nirvana songs. Female vocalist holds high ends of vocals well, but her lows are p dank too. The release clocks in at over 6 minutes, the first song is not even two and the second is super long as far as punk music goes. The songs still hold some aspects of their Nirvana originals, but not enough to make me think that this is just another nirvana cover band. I used to make fun of bands that do stupid covers from bands that are overdone but the way these guys does it is super cool. Mixing reminds me of old skramzy type recordings, and the constant sound of noise is reminiscent of shoegaze music. This release is a headbanger, and really more along the lines of a novelty. If you don't listen to Nirvana, like me, you won't even know that it's a nirvana cover, because you've probably not heard these two songs. I had to go listen to the original songs just to see how different they would be, and it gave me a new respect for the band.
I think it's cool, and it's nice to see that they didn't go crazy and release a giant record of covers. Also very very nice to see that they put their own spin to the covers. Nothing more upsetting than having to listen to your local band play that same old blink 182 song everytime you get put onto a show with them or something. Anywho, check it out.

Oh Just A Few Boys Horsin Around By Dirt Nap

//Oh Just A Few Boys Horsin Around||Dirt Nap\\

1. Jvngle Boys

2. Drunk Snake

3. Tar Pit

4. Birds of Paradise

5. RDMT

6. Le Bushes

7. Kiss My Bones

8. Chocolate Covered Ants

THE River Punk cute fvck bois are back with a brand new 8 song release. Recorded on 4/20, released on 9/11, Dirt Nap is a band full of fun. Their first release, Jvst Ask the Boys, is one I still listen to on a regular basis so this second release coming out means a lot. Dirt Nap reminds me of some 1970's garage band (if I listened to 1970's garage band music). Surf rock but with that midwest lovin. As far as production go, this has to be classified as Lo-fi, but it's the professional kinda lo-fi, if you think that's an actual thing.  This release makes me want to get drunk and go to a basement show and do some weird handstands and skank and cut off my right hand and kiss a boy. (If you go to one of their shows you WILL end up kissing a boy). 

Vocals are lethargic and fun, guitars are filled with wacky reverb and distortion, and the drums (Alex Harris) are fun to listen to and as chaotic as the rest of the release.

                                             "Uragggahhhhhhhhhhh ooooohhhhhhh"

Cool sp00ky riffs are filled throughout, and a western rock aspect is definitely seen throughout (Songs like "Chocolate Covered Ants")

Real picture of Dirt Nap coming back

Not sure if Dirt Nap is still a band, I for one thought they were gone for good, their guitarist/vocal man got a cool job at Nickelodeon in California doing something involving snakes and little boys. The release is put out through Rough Beast Records and Frenchkiss Label Group, and they've got 100 really cool tapes. (I overdrew my account buying one). Right now the release costs $420 to download but if you're lucky it will go up. Get it, so worth it. 10/10 would buy.
