Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Nasty Neighbours Release New Single: “V.I.P.”
Argentina’s Nasty Neighbours kick it fucking hard with their new single, “V.I.P.” which reminds me of a mix of class riot grrrl like Babes in Toyland with a touch of Bantam and The Toys Dolls thrown in for good measure.
Post Death Soundtrack Releases New Album: Veil Lifter
Post Death Soundtrack’s new album, Veil Lifter, is a mix of metal, grunge and stoner rock into a fucking combination of fuck yeah.
Whippets Release New Single: “Splinter”
The Whippets are back with a new single, “Splinter”, off their new self-titled LP released by No Coast Records. Similar to the last song I reviewed, “Ice”, this new song spans so many influences that it is hard to pin down genre-wise or comparison wise.
Cross Dog Releases New Single: “Jane Roe”
Before I even realized that the Cross Dog was just drums and bass, their sound brought to mind bands like Evil Beaver and Cut-Rate Druggist who both have also left out guitar in their blend of punk, metal and grunge.
Yogamum Release First Single: “Jordan Peterson Blues”
Yogamum’s “Jordan Peterson Blues” mix punk and grunge to create their own unique sound that’s got me hooked.
Nihiloceros Release New Song: “Purgatory (Summer Swim)”
I just reviewed “Penguin Wings” by Nihiloceros a short bit ago, so I was stoked to receive a new song so soon after. “Purgatory (Summer Swim)” is another fucking sick tune.
Femme Revolte Release New Song: “Stereotypes”
Femme Revolte are a riot grrrl punk band from Istanbul, and they’ve followed up their first singe, “Slut Anthem”, with another caustic attack on the patriarchy supported gender stereotypes with “Stereotypes”.
The Serfers Release New Song: “Rat King”
The opening vocals of “Rat King” by The Serfers has that sort of emo punk / pop punk sound followed by some solid distorted guitar riffage that is punctuated with hits on the clean channel that add a cool counterpoint.
Colider Releases New Song: “Relay”
Colider’s newest song, “Relay”, has that early 90’s grunge mixed with punk sound.
Nihiloceros Releases New Single: “Penguin Wings”
Nihiloceros bring their self-proclaimed punk pop with just the does of grunge goodness to you in full effect with their new song, “Penguin Wings”! It gives me a distinct Jawbreaker vibe while also sounding totally fresh and different.
Ryan Cassata and The Top Surgeons Release New EP: This Machine Kills Transphobia
Ryan Cassata with band, The Top Surgeons, provide us an EP that is a dope mix of punk, folk, grunge, indie rock, and a pure fucking awesome.
Empty Page Releases New Single: “Cock of the Fifth Year”
Empty Page’s single, “Cock of the Fifth Year”, off their new LP, Imploding, is a kick ass mix of punk and grunge.
Che Arthur Releases New Single: “Sliver”
Some of you may know Che Arthur from their time in Pink Avalanche or Atomicpocketknife, if so when you listen to their new single, “Sliver”, you’ll recognize that distinct timber that is characteristic of their voice, but it will be accompanied by music that is more aggressive and posthardcore than in previous projects.
Loaf Releases New Single: “Headaches”
It’s always dope to get sent a song by a band that I’ve played with.
Coma Beach Releases New Single: “Extreme Masochist”
My love for this band is not a secret. I’ve written two reviews on past songs “Jesus’s Tears” and “Another Song” in which I’ve compared the vocalist to Leatherface or The Beltones with occasional backing vocals akin to the snotty 70’s British punk band.
Mr. Max Releases New Single: “Semi-Pro”
Mr. Max mixes punk, grunge and garage rock into something both new and familiar.
Bingo Boys Release New Single: “Oh Yeah”
I reviewed Bingo Boys album, Freak out and Leave, back in June, so I was stoked to get sent their newest single, “Oh Yeah”!
This is a Revolver Release New Single: “Arrivederci!”
First thing that hits me with this song is brief organ intro that gives way abruptly to a killer bass riff which builds up with guitars and drums to kick into a full fucking brutal sonic assault that should get any young punk a circle pitting (maybe even a few older ones too).
Gloom Girl MFG’s New EP, Factory, is an Energetic Unmanufactured Punch of Grunge/Punk!
I hit play on Gloom Girl MFG’s first song, “Litter Bug” on their new four song EP, Factory, and I was instantly into it. It’s got that mixture of grunge punk from bands like Bantam (members of the Lunachicks) and the vocals on this first track remind me of the earlier releases by Juliette (Lewis) and The Licks. I’d also throw in a touch of PJ Harvey in their or the Pretenders.
Jovi Skyler’s New Album, Nothing to Do, Adroitly Mixes Grunge, Punk and Psychedelic Music
The album opens with “If You Think So” which has elements of The Meat Puppets, Dinosaur Jr. and The Beatles with various builds and lulls and a catchy as hell “sha la la la” for everyone to sing along to. Love the intro where Jovi mouths the rhythm of the song like when someone is trying to explain a riff to you when they don’t have a guitar.
