Slavescene - Heaven Only Knows Cassette (2009)



















I know that this is a pretty old release but I seriously haven't stopped listening to it for almost a year. If you haven't gotten a hold of this yet I implore you to do so. Absolutely fucked-up Drunkdriverish stuff with a bit more structure. I CAN'T STOP listening!

Japp Gutter - Heaven Dollars Cassette (2010)















Japp Gutter are from SF and CHI. One is in Running, a few are in newcomers Pagan Blonde and one works in retail. They got together one afternoon and wrote and recorded these songs that sound like a super noisy blast out that's repetitive with reverb heavy vocals.

Puerto Rico Flowers - 4 12" (2010)
















John Sharkey III from Clockclean Er recorded these four tracks that sound like super bass driven new/dark wave jams but according to the Fan Death site they claim that it's "Slow songs not unlike a skinhead crying." You be the judge. Shit is good.

Implodes - S/T Cassette (2009)

















Implodes are a 4 piece from Chicago. Mostly the sounds are distant and dissonant, but slyly hidden below the surface are rays of melodic sunshine that peak through the clouds from time to time. Think Jesus & Mary Chain, Spacemen 3 and Suicide.
