Two Bandcamp Friday Scores

Frog Power is from New Zeland, and whoever they are, they're a freaky genius. Sean Hocking from Metal Postcard Records turned me on to Frog Power, and I am consistently awed:

My Legless Crabs stuff got compared to Sockeye once and that's one of the best compliments I've ever received for my stuff. Dave Schall is still hammering 'em out:

Bandcamp Friday

Haven't posted anything in a while, here's a rundown of some cool stuff that's been sent to me this month. Indie pop from France:

Jim's Twenty-One was active in the 80s and now they're back with a release on Harriet Records. The lead single is good, I need to check out the rest of the album:

From Lexington label Transcendental Revolution, here's a great little 5 song ep of what we used to call lo-fi power pop, but now since lo-fi means something else, I got "basement-based power pop" is what you might call. Anyway, BODAGGIT'S "Tease Horse" is noisey, it's poppy, it's low fidelity rock'n'roll, I enjoy it quite a bit:

Crazy hc from St. Louis, out on Feral Kid Records:

Also from Feral Kid Records, here's some "Italian dancey garage punk":

And speaking of Italy, I love Italy's Tana Delle Pigri and have been playing them a lot on my KPISS.FM and 8K.NZ shows (plug):

Finally, Antigen Records (Ipswich, UK) has released a remastered vinyl edition of Pound Land's "Mugged," originally released on Cruel Nature last year. Pound Land is crazy, Louder Than War said "Taken in one sitting, Mugged is an intense, exhausting and oppressive experience." High praise indeed, and right up my ally:

Clean Nice Quiet on 8K.NZ (11.04.2025)
