The Paranoids
"A dance-inspiring blend of mod, post-punk, and pure vintage talent--a David Lynch interpretation of a Bobby Darin concert."

Midnight Strangers (CD release)
Retro new wave music wrapped in ripping guitars and synths.

Pets

Society of Rockets
"The lab results for Society of Rockets' 'Future Factory' have tested positive for a kind of Faust meets Unrest meets Milton Nascimento (post-Tropicalia samba) concoction descanted with gorgeous harmonies. The dense, communal vocals recall the choral arrangements of both the cocktail sci-fi of Esquivel-by-way-of-Stereolab and the eternal grace of the Beach Boys. (bio)

Awesome Color
"Brooklyn-via-Michigan power-trio Awesome Color may work out of New York’s outer boroughs, they are are Detroit Rock City through and through. Obvious reference points to Wolverine State legends like the Stooges and the MC5 abound. Sure, they’re not the most obscure influences, but the love clearly runs deep. Derek Stanton’s gnarled guitar licks and thick, fuzzed-out riffs are straight from the book of Asheton; drummer Allison Busch and bassist Michael Troutman’s rhythms are primal and unrelenting, offering a solid slab of musical pavement over which Stanton can grind it out. While Awesome Color’s basic template is familiar enough, other musical influences can be soused out as well. Opening track “Grown” is six minutes of dirty groove that hints at the kind of droney, ecstatic repetition one finds in the Krautier corners of Oneida’s best work. And the album’s closer, “Animal,” tosses a kitchen sink’s worth of synths, squeals, and squalls into the mix to make an otherwise ordinary album-closing workout freaky enough to merit full-length listens." - Dusted

Hair Police
"Weary, drugged and horrified, there's the obvious Wolf Eyes comparisons, but Hair Police take a different darkened alleyway altogether. A two-note pulse digs into your skull for the first 5 minutes before the record erupts for the first time, and the sheer depth of the sound is totally drowning. This is not 'noise'. This is something else entirely. The air is thick with static, but the sounds creep and pulse and evolve and groan." - Foxy Digitalis

Glitter Wizard
"Oh, I gotta tell you's I was one happy psy-ops motherfucker when I got this Glitter Wizard, 'Black Lotus/Witch's Limbo' 7" in the mail & had me a big heap've Deep Purple blues rock explosion all over my turntable. Maybe you don't think Deep Purple is cool. But then if you knowed about half what I does, you'd be doin this blog instead of me. And w/that smidgen've knowledge, getting a brand new 7" what sounds like a sideways sonicstruction of 'Highway Star' b/w 'Maybe I'm A Leo' would be almost as boss as getting an eightball've coke & twin strippers for your 60th birthday. That's right. Listenin now, punk? Sure, I've heard talk've Monster Magnets, which reminds me; there weren't no bigger Monster Magnets than Deep Purple in their prime. Unless it's Glitter Wizard. NOW. I think we're done here." - Siltblog
