FDH (2014) Loren

So I’m a fan of The Hussy. People who read this site have (hopefully) picked up on that. Well, TIT is a two piece with Bobby Hussy and Shawn Foree of the more popular (but previously unheard by me) Digital Leather. Let’s just say that their 12” is an interesting record, and not what I expected.

Where I expected ballsy and rip-roarin’ rock, there’s instrumental and dronish noise. It’s still too hooky to be called drone, but it’s guitar and keys, repeating and meandering through feedback enough to keep interest and ambition without getting too pretentious or playful. There are just 3 songs here, 8:50 in total, and it’s hypnotic and spacey. Side A includes slow and deep vocals with a bit of a No Wave meets robot Krautrock thing going on, while “Drug Antenna,” on Side B is a spaced out session. If you like jammed out, feedback laden guitar-keyboard rock with an almost robotic rhythm, this is something to check out for sure. If you’re looking for pep and party, well, try the other releases from the same musicians.

The Phase Problem

The Power Of Positive Thinking
Brassneck Records (2024)

I spent a good part of the late ‘90s annoyed at the abundance of Ramonescore. I’ll stand by my word: many of the bands of that era were carbon copies that didn’t bring anything new to the format. But time has passed and what was overdone is now a refreshing change of pace. For whatever reason, when I hear a … Read more

Totally Slow

The Darkness Intercepts
Refresh Records (2024)

I find Totally Slow a hard band to categorize. Their brand of melodic, hard punk is familiar and comforting -- rooted in ‘80s hardcore, ‘90s skatepunk, and post-something guitar-driven rock. The press release namedrops Dag Nasty and Hot Snakes, among others, which I think are good starting points. But while it’s familiar, it’s absolutely not a carbon copy. Like their forebearers, the songs … Read more

Steamachine

City of Death
Records Workshop (2023)

City Of Death is the third album from Polish noise makers Steamachine. Having dabbled in a few metal styles over their career, City Of Death has a heavy carnival influence to it which I have to say I really like. It's interesting just how much more sinister things sound when you pump eerie, jingly circus sounds amongst very dark, heavy, … Read more
