 Brimstone Howl
From Nebraska comes BRIMSTONE HOWL (Alive Records) with a furious mix of 60's influenced garage and old school punk that has been alternately described as "scuzzy blues-ish punk gone Killed by Death, like a lo-fi, art damaged early Gun Club," and "'60s blues-based rock 'n' roll played Billy Childish style-super loose, raw, and f*d-up." Cranking out several 45s in one year, including one engineered by Jay Reatard, they've toured and played with bands such as the Black Lips, Radio Moscow, Boston Chinks, Gris Gris, and the Black Keys. Delivering in-your-face live performances, they describe themselves as "Guitar sluts and hook thieves with hearts of chrome. (bio)

 Schaffer the Darklord

Latin Lysergia Fest!! Sergio Iglesias & the Latin Love Machine
"An energetic but altogether sloppy act. The stage could hardly contain the rambunctious group of seven, outfitted in tight blue jeans and black nipple-less muscle tees as they danced around, constantly rotating their instruments while each member played to his own beat." - Performer Magazine

ANTIGUO AUTOMATA MEXICANO (Monterrey, Mexico)
Angel Sánchez Borges, the man behind AAM (Antiguo Automata Mexicano) takes techno to the next level with his second album and first release with Static Discos. Previously AAM released the infamous Microhate album on Germany's Background label. Inspired by German kraut and space rock, minimal techno and screwed up digital antics, AAM's Kraut Slut is the stuff of wicked dance dreams. Angel Sánchez Borges also records as Seekers Who Are Lovers on the Soundsister label. In a recent interview on URB Magazine, Borges says his secret to the AAM sound is his love for "My Bloody Valentine, a gentle way of dealing with strange layers of sounds. I want people to dance to these noisy grooves". Pitchformedia recently described his music in "the glitch/dub/minimal techno vein, with carefully constructed rips and blips stretched across a wide, white sonic canvas".
AAM is Ángel Sánchez Borges, from Monterrey, México. Harshy ambiences, complex rhythm noisy patterns and abrassive lo-fi techno since year 2000. |
 Evil Hippie (Mexico City)
Mexico's evil hippie is the work of a lunatic locked in a cage with only yello and the residents to listen to. The flipside is harsher and harks back to the day of throbbing gristle and bands of that era. (bio)

 Hot IQ's
Denver trio Hot IQs boast witty lyrics, shake-your-knee hooks, a hot female drummer and songs that make you want to dance through an avalanche.” – Spin
"The IQs’ strongest asset, however, might be vocalist Eli Mishkin. His theatrical, baritone swagger carries every song to unexpected melodic heights..." - CMJ

My Second Surprise

 Rocknroll Adventure Kids
"These boys preach the good word of cockabilly music — or hillbilly country punk made by city kids and punctuated by lots of hootin', hollerin', and cockadoodledoos. RRAK are a strong-as-liquor, love-it-or-hate-it proposition. That bargain includes whiplash-fast tracks with lyrics you'll have memorized by the second chorus and a frontman who hurtles into the crowd until he's stirred up a primal frenzy." - Jennifer Maerz, SF Weekly

 Brothers & Sisters
"Austin-based eight-peice who sound like Big Star jamming with Neil young (New Life) and The Jayhawks (Without You), The Mamas and the Papas, Byrds, even Ray Davies in a swamp. Country rock ballads and pop perfection, with imperfections in the home-made, one take sound to make it all the more engaging." - Mojo, June 2007

 Jeffrey Luck Lucas
"Jeffrey Luck Lucas's brand of folk is spooked and sorrowful, treading slowly forward but often looking back. On his new album, the Bay Area musician sings of heartbreak and loss through a thin layer of metaphor, his age-burnished voice buoyed by strings, piano, and tasteful brushstrokes of pedal steel." - SF Bay Guardian

Mark Matos
Mark Matos (Tuscon, AZ): "Equal parts Giant Sand and Will Oldham... Laid back, thoughtful, sad and heartbreakingly beautiful." - Sweetheart Of THe Radio, United Kingdom |
