Jumpercable – Jumpercable — Monkey Wrench, 2008

Awful intro that thankfully goes into speedy hardcore reminiscent of bands from the early part of this decade. It's fun and moshy. They even have a song that begins with a sweet simple bass line and some guitar feedback whine. There was a time when every band sounded like this and had names like Ten Yard Fight, In My Eyes, and Floorpunch. It was awesome. I have no idea why Jumpercable hasn't been brought to my attention before or even mentioned on a certain messageboard I can't escape from. Nevetheless, Jumpercable = fun.

Shitheel EP
Chaputa! Records (2026)

Sometimes I like to come into a record as a blank slate. Amy Beth And Thee Creeps sent me a short email with their latest EP, Shitheel. It's a 4-song garage-punk ripper that's easily under 10 minutes. I just checked: it's five and a half minutes. With no bio, the music speaks for itself and this is rhythmic, pulsing garage … Read more
