TY SEGALL - Melted LP
Goner Records

I just can't believe how prolific Ty is! Record after record is just pumped out and not one seems like filler. Here's a follow up to last years debut on Goner and it's great again. A bit moodier, slower and not as "blown out" as previously. Great songs. I loved the "Caesar" and "My Sunshine" singles and it's kinda nice to have them on here too. "Melted" is leaning a little more the Oh Sees way with some added instruments (played by John Dwyer among others) and groove. It fits Ty nice. Would have liked a few more all out rockers but this is a great album anyways. (Thomas)

Review:

THEE OH SEES - Warm Slime 12"
In The Red Records

Like a funky Headcoats or a garagey James Brown the Oh Sees groove is pretty damn intoxicating. Their knack for writing songs, their "own" sound, their diy attitude will surely propel them a bith further up the charts and it's all this that make them so special too. This 12" has one loooong song on the A-side, it's groovy as hell and I do like them when they get in the groove, so to speak, but maybe it works better live than on record. They make up for it with the six excellent songs on the B-side though. Groovy, funky, whatever you wanna call them, they're really good. (Thomas)

REVIEW:

HOZAC HOOKUP KLUB YEAR 2 - the first batch

Sex Church - 209 7"
Super Wild Horses - Enigma 7"
Radar Eyes - Shakes 7"

Hozac Records

Sex Church is a band that I never really checked out but always meant to. So this is really my first real listen to 'em. It's pretty dark, brooding and a little bit psychedelic, and Stoogey. Could've maybe been a bit wilder in my opinion, it's pretty slow. Pretty cool but maybe not as great as it could've been in my ears. For a cooler band that does the same sorta thing check out Flight instead.

Everybody seems to rave about the Super Wild Horses. A two-girl band from Melbourne. Just guitar and drums is usually my thing but this becomes a bit tedious when the guitar is pretty monotonic and boring. I'll give them another chance to win me over..

Radar Eyes are pretty hard to define. Punkrock but with a touch of pop and nice-ness. Think Hex Dispensers and the Marked Men maybe.. But slower. Think this will grow on me even more. Not as immediate as the aforementioned bands. Might be missing in personality, for lack of a better word. B-side is a bit too "nice" and slick but otherwise pretty cool. I'll be checking out more of their stuff. (Thomas)

BLACK TIME - More songs about motorcycles and death 12"
Wrench Records
BLACK TIME / TY SEGALL split 12"
Telephone Explosion

Rumored to be the last Black Time record, the aptly titles "More songs about motorcycles and death" mini LP is perhaps Black Times finest moment. It's an awesome romp down a highway lined with their greatest influences and achievements. Merging KBD punk, Black Flag hc, Pussy Galore noise, Gun Club/Scientists drone into a mix all your own is a feat not many band have managed and definitely not many European bands. This records is a testament to how great Black Time is.

Never got around to reviewing their split with Ty Segall but since it's back in print again it seemed appropriate. Black Time is snottier than ever and sounding a bit more British too I think. Noisy and punky and really great. Really Pussy Galore-y at times. Not a bad thing. Ty's side is him being himself, great of course. Some songs have ended up on other records too but this is prolly different versions and lo-fi. And great!

Review:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Shampoo 7"
Sub Pop

Took a little bit of a pass on Happy Birthday when it didn't win me over like King Tuff did.. But after falling in love with the b-side on here, "Alien" I've gotta give their album another shot. It's a glorious little summerditty that is just too cute and catchy to not fall for. "Shampoo" is no pass over either and should fill many a dancefloor.  But oh, "Alien" is just way too great to miss out on.

REVIEW:

SHANNON & THE CLAMS - I Wanna Go Home LP
1-2-3-4-Go! Records

Shannon is prolly best know for her work in Hunx & his Punx but this, in her own glory with a great band is at times awesome! Caught them live before listening to this and that was great. The records has some downs like the more hardcore moments which could work (like it does really well for the King Khan & BBQ Show) but mostly brings me out of the nice, sunny feeling that I'm having while listening to the rest of the record. The first side is pretty magnificent while the B-side starts out with, in my mind, three duds. I'm pretty sure that stuff works out better live though. When this is great it's great.. Shannon can sing like a goddess! And the slower more r'n'b-y songs really showcase her voice and fit it really well.

REVIEW:

OVERNIGHT LOWS - City of Rotten Eyes LP
Goner Records

This fits perfectly on Goner. And seems to have been somehow forgotten, which is a shame. This is a spirited continuation of a lot of stuff going on in the 90's and early 00's. Taking some Oblivians, some Rip Off Records, some Persuaders, Reatards.. but never copying. Just picking the parts. The whole sounds different than the aforementioned though, punkier than the Oblivians and weirder than anything on Rip Off. This record is pretty fucking great actually. I've missed this kinda on the spot, furious, take on punkrock. It's a short 12 song on 45 rpm, but it's sweet as fuck. A breath of fresh air!!

REVIEW:

SAINTS & SINNERS VOL 1-2 LP
Sheik Records

Cool comps of sheiking rockabill and rhythm & blues from the 50's and 60's. Nice packaging, oriental style fitting the funny labelname.
A lof of unknowns for me, mostly the rockabilly guys, but also some famous ones like Trini Lopez, Lightning Hopkins, Elmore James, Little Walter.Liners for each song with some background etc is a nice touch too.The linernotes are touting some of the songs with superlatives and while I'm not sure this is some of the best-ever-songs, there's a good amount of fantastic stuff and overall, which makes these comps nice, is the mix and set up. They make for some really great listening. And if you wanna party, there's a fair amount of dancers on here too. Mostly stompers though, but who the heck doesn't like a stomper?!

REVIEW:

ELECTRIC BUNNIES - Through the Magical Door LP
Florida's Dying

Pretty cool record from a cool band on a cool label. Nice packaging too. I'm at a loss for how to describe their music though.. Very moody, a lot of improv going on I would thing, a lot of building up an ambience. Like it more when they play their songs straight up, but I guess the weirdness also adds some mystery and magic to the mix and therefore the title is really fitting. I'd say this would be as much for fans of say the Black Lips and Jacuzzi Boys as it would be for fans of noise and indie-weirdness.

REVIEW:

GOODNIGHT LOVING - Arcobaleno 12"
Wild Honey Records

This is a nice little record in-between records from the Goodnight Loving, a band I've learned to love more and more. I fell for their latest fullenght, and this is a cool continuation from that. A little more laidback, folky maybe. Great sounding, by way of the steady hands of Mojomatt. The GL have that great epic songwriting capability that captures my imagionation and takes it along for a ride. The pictures and feelings they paint adds so much to the songs. This is slod out but the label is considering a repress. Let's hope it's out there soon.

REVIEW:

DAVILA 666 12"
Rob's House Records

New 12" from the world's greatest partyband at the moment! Great sound, dirty and lo-fi in a great way. As always the songs are topnotch. They're pretty much a different band than the one on the ITR LP but I'd say they're all the better for it. They're a fullfledged, massive bulldozer of a liveband where all their songs mesh together in a perfect mass. Look forward to seeing them if you haven't. And love their records meanwhile. (Thomas)

REVIEW:

BOX ELDERS - Tiny Sioux 7"
Hozac singles club

I love the Box Elders and it's about time they had something new out, my LP is getting worn down. You've prolly heard the titletrack live for a while and it's an amazing little ditty in their patented Box Elders-way. B-side is equally laid back, nice and cool. Perfect for summernights. (Thomas)
