Serious bad day yesterday, so no post. Was and still am very upset about something that happened and was said to me. I guess I deserved what I got. All I was trying to do was express my opinion. Sometimes wonder if this is all worth it or if anything is worth it. Sometimes wonder how I make it through each day. The post below took me a whole…

Meth Teeth are based out of Portland and there sure doesn’t seem to be a hell of a lot written about them. From what I’ve gathered they began as the one-man folk project of Mattey Hubele and Kyle Raquipiso later joined the band. So, a two man band I guess and they sure as hell can make quite a bit of noise. 2009 sees the band release their…

The title above is definitely appropriate for this post. As you may well know by now, from reading this blog, that I am a true Indie rock/pop guy. I love noise-pop, power-pop, psych-pop, garage rock, punk, lo-fi, the 80′s, 90′s indie rock/pop, 00′s indie rock/pop etc. etc.. And, as always, I have been featuring/reviewing a…

Following up on their 2007′s S/T release (recorded by famed Steve Albini), The Love Story return for 2009 with Mink. TLS, in my opinion, are somewhat hard to nail down. Mainly classified as slow-core/mood-core, the NYC band throws in touches of Shoegaze to further complement their music. While Albini is no longer at the helm for Mink, the band has not lost his influence to their song-craft. The whole LP plays in thirty…

Another decent week for new music releases. Here is part II for the week of 09-22-09.

Two years after releasing their debut Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters, Glasgow’s The Twilight Sad release their new LP Forget The Night Ahead on the Fat Cat Label. Forget further expands the sound that the band developed on their debut release. The sound is large, expansive and loud. James Graham’s Scottish accent is stronger…

Larsen created Buildings Breeding as a “fake” band which included its very own MySpace page. Essentially, a way for Larsen to keep in touch with Glover. Make believe or not,…

Greg Hoy’s most recent outing is appropriately titled Feel The Crunch!. A sheer master at infectious power-pop, Hoy is a one man cranking music machine. On 2006′s Tastemakers & Heartbreakers, Hoy made a full-on, catchy, tight power-pop record all by himself. He manages to create music that sounds like it is coming from a quartet rather than just one person. An amazing feat. 09′s Feel has Hoy back at it again and…

Along with his more recent solo work, he has also been a part of Toshack Highway and Magnetic Morning. Regarding his solo career, his debut release was Bolts Of Melody released in 2007.

The Moog are a Budapest, Hungary quintet. Their follow up to the excellent ’07 debut Sold For Tomorrow was recorded in Seattle and is titled Razzmatazz Orfeum. They are a hard playing band and put out a sound that is part Ramones, part Dinosaur Jr., with the fuzziness of Jesus & Mary Chain. A nice mix for sure. Think “new wave-garage with hints of post-punk psych” and you will have…
