Tony Molina/Ovens stuff is really real good, but the classical guitar interludes/bridges in almost every track gets a tiny bit old sometimes, tbh. He did an amazing cover of the best Camper Van Beethoven song though, so he's more than alright in my book.

Guess I'll have to peep the steinways tho the steinways are legit my fave pop-punk band, just dudes writing stupidly short songs about weed and pussy and how they don't have either. house boat is good too, even if its a bit more ~serious~ and mopey. barrakuda mcmurder is the best bc it's the singer from house boat/steinways and like one other guy and they just recorded fuckin stupid poo poo

I interviewed The Dopamines a long time ago and we are tacos with beer while they told me about getting kicked out of a venue for making GBS threads on another band's van windshield (they were touring together). They all seemed like p nice guys.

I figured House Boat was done after Thorns of Life tho That albums kinda mediocre but the fact that the packaging/liner notes is just a bunch of dumb pop punk jokes is fun

Chicago basement show earlier this week: Crude AI - good crunchy Midwestern basement punk. No complaints here. I was digging it. Liquids - this was a blast. Another good Northwestern Indiana band, shares members with Coneheads and Big Zit, that spat out a tight set at maybe 12 or 13 minutes for seven songs. Their demo tape is right here and it's a definite pro-click. Snotty and dumb lyrics with a reaaaal tight rhythm under it. The touring band was Phantom Head from Kansas City. It was pretty cool slow headbang punk, some definite garage and/or dark americana influences. I used to see bands like this all the time (and play shows with bands like this all the time in the late aughts) but I was wiped from my day and the bike ride over and I couldn't help but start yawning as their set crossed the 25 minute mark, and maybe even just barely the 35 minute mark. It's a Monday night people, let's keep it tight. Autonomy closed out the night with some anarcho gloom post punk. A good mix of Joy Division flavored tracks mixed with a few that were secretly hardcore songs but with some keys on top. I've known one of these guys for a decade, and the recent reformation with a few lineup changes is solid. Catch them on tour in July. It was a good house show and I was exhausted when it was over. The other highlight was being sold a copy of the out-of-print Nervosas double LP out of a milk carton distro for $4. That made the cold windy eight mile ride home even more worth it. I've been traveling so the only other really punk thing I did this month was dig the clearance crates of punk 45s at Amoeba in San Francisco. Dropped $20 on 35 7" slabs, and $5 of it was for that Butthole Surfers picture disc where they cover King Wenceslas. There's two other shows to report that are getting scant in my mind. I was at an acoustic punk apartment show in west Humboldt Park in late April that was a real good time. I do play in a folkpunk duo at the moment and we were on the bill, so my guy and I rolled up a little late (legit work reasons and I made it publicly known to the other performers that it would happen. I hate it when performers roll up in the middle of a show without an excuse). I'm sad to say I was too late to see ragged songstress Hi Ho, I was really looking forward to her set. As penance, scope her tracks. We walked in for the Regular Oatmeal acoustic set. The non-acoustic version of this band is extreme mathy postpunk, so seeing the solo acoustic version was pretty bonkers. They guy was shredding in weird and creative ways, with partial capo utilizations and lots of manic fingerstyle. Then on went L. Mounts, who really impressed me with emphatic and powerful vocal delivery. I checked his bandcamp, which didn't impact me quite the same way, but it is expansive. Feel free to dig through. I think we played next. The duo is called James Dean Death Cult but there's no music online yet, so save your googles for another day. It was a rocky display of middle of the road folk punk (and only our second show), but I went from being a non-songwriting bassist in a couple bands to playing 12-string and singing, so I'm pleased with myself. I'll slip recordings into a future post. Then Jason Douglass Swearingen, who owns bones in a very straight-up powerful singer-songwriter way. I'm pleased to say I'm putting out a 7" comp with one of his tracks on board. And last was Sideline Radio from Indiana, a good kid with clever songs about being non-white in the folk punk and pop punk world. Hugely successful apartment show. The only downside was that I negotiated poorly in a record swap and gave up something that was worth money for something that I half-realized I didn't want and that I was only being nice. Oh well. poo poo happens. The other show that's in my memory from April is pretty fragmented by memory, so you're almost done. Basement show under an art gallery in Pilsen. I was bringing a friend who caused us to get there late and miss the aforementioned Autonomy set that opened the night (which is why I wound up at the show earlier this week). Then a band called Scoundrel played and they sorta sucked. Middle of the road punky rock with a not-ironic cover of Steve Miller Band in the middle. I would have enjoyed a gently caress-off band that played a weird 18 minute or 18 second version of songs like this, but a very serious cover at a show where the other three bands are gothy? Head scratcher. Born from Iceland played and they loving owned. Fat basslines, icepick guitars, desperate vocals. All of my favorite things. And locals Toupee closed it out. If you like Born, you'll like Toupee. I may be back at that basement tonight to see Downtown Boys and some great locals. I'll try to break up posts more next time around. It seems like I've been seeing a lot of post punk type bands lately instead of my garage punk bread and butter. The times, they may be a-changing. Edit: No posts by anyone else in the last few days, so I'll just work this in. I blew off that show on Friday but worked from one DIY show to another on Saturday. Started at a rehearsal space in Avondale and popped in to see Detroit's S.F.I. (not expressly punk, but seemingly very DIY heavy psych that reminded me of Earthless plus occasional lap steel) and locals Holy Motors, high octane American rocknroll, punk influenced in the way that Electric Frankenstein or similar is punk influenced. Locals White Mystery kicked off their headlining set, so I dipped out to head to a grittier venue and catch the end of a late show in the showroom of a former auto body shop. I finally got to see Chicago's Negative Scanner, a darkwave punk band that sounds like Lost Sounds without the keys. Very aggressive playing, female howling, dancing crowds. Good tight set. And then some buddies from St. Louis band Swear Beam went on and played some pulsing Velvet Underground flavored psych punk. Not the most straight-up punk night, but a lot of good DIY and punk inflected jams. Bread Dragon fucked around with this message at 19:42 on May 25, 2015 |

At the Converge show yesterday I saw quite a few people signing along and I was baffled on how they do that, but I said to myself 'My English has been getting better over the years , I should sit down with the lyrics and figure it out too!' So I put on Jane Doe (song) and had the lyrics with me and listened very closely and... barely managed to make out the last three lines when the singing goes clean for a bit. Frustrating not being able to put the lyrics together with the music because I quite like them.

Mewithoutyou's newest is around for streaming and such and it's a good continuation of their last album if that's what you're in to. A bit of yelling and some of the weird Christian fella's voice about produce that's still better than most other music to my not religious ears. It's the one band that and my daughter seem to agree on.

Aaron Weiss is a Muslim actually. I just saw them open their tour with Foxing the other night. It was pretty solid. Also saw White Lung last night but it was at Wire's weird DRILL festival thing and the crowd sucked.
