Wise-ass boys
from Philly, Loafass give us Smoke & Mirrors. With odes to beer and
tattoos, partying & dissing Jersey, how can you miss? Attitude with
a capitol FU. If you don’t like ‘em you know what you can
do... Makes me wanna break something—something fun to break.

Virginia’s
punk lunatics THE CANDY SNATCHERS have a new album out on
Drug Front Records called - Down at Delilah’s - Waste rock rides
again
as Larry May harasses you with his screaming vocals. Like experiencing
one of their frenzied shows without the blood.

This is
weird, like those really strange classic lo-fi 60’s psychedelic
records recorded in some basement flop pad. sometimes poppy, then
bluesy, then experimental, then WTF. You just know everybody’s
high on something, and they’re like, “hey, let’s try
this.” while passing ’round the bowl. Parcels of Marbles by
I’m Turning Into is surprisingly entertaining. Yeah, the
strangeness can become catchy. And figure you’re gonna be
stairin’ at the cover til you get a headache, cause you’re
gonna be on drugs too, when you’re listening to this.

head! Ladies, wear your panties…or not…

With songs
like “Bridal Shower Bingo Cards”, NEW KILLER STARS rock
your ass off with their sleazy, grungy party tunes recorded in
Asheville, NC. But they also show their bluesy side with a couple of
slower tunes. This band from the Netherlands is refreshing with their
album - Crash Their Parties And Rob Their Houses.

80’s with a Cheap Trick feel. You won’t be able to stop
looking at the cover artwork which tells you exactly what you will
hear. Fun and subtle with a happy danceable. Their tight album -
Strangers to Love - is available on Poptown Records.

RIVERSYDE -
Young ‘uns from Austin, Texas with a variety of gritty pop that
will be sure to attract the sharks of the music biz. On their debut EP
- Knocking on My Door, Shane Blake’s awesome vocals sound older
than his young face seems capable of, but the lyrics, melodies and
guitars support his deep growl with expertise.

THIRTY-SIX
THIRTY - Angry at the World - Made up of 5 school teachers and a guy
with a bass in Pennsylvania, Thirty-Six Thirty doles out sweet female
vocals singing lyrics about someone who obviously pissed her off.
Conjuring up the sounds of Debbie Harry and Liz Phair, this new wave
synth alt rock is perfect for a bitter break-up.
