New Rock'n'Roll from Bandcamp & Youtube

Good Lord Almighty it's hot in Texas. I got a few things to share tonight. First up, the latest album from Freak Genes, "Qwak Qwak," is absolutely incredible. It's available via the UK's Drunken Sailor Records, and was released back in April, so I'm late to the party on this gem, but better late than never. So many good songs on this 17 song album. Indebted to Television Personalities, Wire, the Buzzcocks, and the Kinks, their press release says this album's "original inspiration was the Raincoats LP Odyshape. So far, they sound nothing like that."

I love this shit tho. They've got a video coming up for "Give Way," and you can get the album on vinyl from Sorry State Records. Oh, man, this is the good stuff:

Full disclosure -- Metal Postcard is amazing. Here's a new one from the Hong Kong based label:

And you know the first full length release of my own no-fi, electro-brut music project, Occult Character, is on Metal Postcard, right?

Australia's Tom Ugly has a new catchy single. At first I thought, oh, this is good but it's too poppy, but it's growing on me:

Next up is a new video by Sage from Ontario, the single off their new self-titled debut album. God, I love music videos, and I'm glad when new bands do them, and I'm glad when they contact me to feature them. Cool shit, check it out:

From Hartford, CT, a track off a new 6 song album you can get on CD and dl on bancamp, a good first effort:
