Ceremony
“Zoo”
CD/LP Matador
Post Punk
I normally try to steer clear of records that have gotten as much press as this one (Why tell you about stuff you’ve already heard of?) but for this, I’ll make an exception. Zoo is Ceremony’s fourth LP and first for Matador. This, even more than it’s predecessor Rhonert Park, has got hardcore kids and indie rock bloggers...

Pangea
“Pangea”
Cassette Lost Sound Tapes
Indie Pop Punk Garage
I’m back with a deeper cut from Burger Records hitmakers, Pangea. Everyone seems to be talking about Pangea’s latest release on Burger, Living Dummy, so I thought I’d break the blogging monotony and talk about an older release of theirs. This cassette is one of the many fucking awesome records I’ve...

LP Sundazed
DIY Bedroom Rock

The very...

Dragons
“Feel This”
Cassette Area 50-Fun
Twangy Lo Fi Pop Surf Rock
Dragons is an indie pop outfit hailing from Flagstaff AZ. Their catchy brand of indie feels like it was inspired more by sandy beaches than sandy deserts. Upon first listen I immediately loved the spring reverb soaked twang of the guitars on this record. The tone has just enough grit to rock when it needs to but it’s...

Your Pest Band
“Ya Ya Ya”
LP HS!BF records
Punk/Garage
Your Pest Band (yes, band is part of the name) hail from the island nation of Japan, but other than their accents there’s not too much Japanese content here. In fact, they’re doing some decidedly American music. They mix garage rock’s blues based riffs with the energy and melody of punk favorites like Mr. T Experience and...
