Diarrhea Planet
Aloha (Reissue)
Infinity Cat (2014)
Formed in 2009, Nashville, Tennessee’s Diarrhea Planet initially were known for their goofy name more than anything else, but with the 2014 reissue of their first EP Aloha, it becomes possible to see why their reputation has only grown over the past few years. A full on assault of wicked, snarling guitar licks, punchy rhythms and amusingly vulgar lyrics, this early … Read more
Diarrhea Planet
Turn To Gold
Infinity Cat (2016)
I recently saw Weiner, a documentary about Anthony Weiner, the New York politician who completely obliterated his career with a sexting scandal, including a dick pic that made international news. Even though Anthony Weiner seemed like a genuine politician with good ideas for the middle class, he never could make a comeback: the media could never past that dick pic, … Read more

Yama-Uba EP (Reissue)
Infinity Cat (2014)

Infinity Cat (2011)
Have you ever wondered what Weezer would sound like had they turned into a psychedelic garage band?

This band of brothers have been rocking the Nashville music scene for the past decade and finally began to get some exposure with 2009’s … Read more
Music Band
Wake Up Laughing
Infinity Cat (2016)
Music Band, along with JEFF the Brotherhood and Diarrhea Planet, forms the Infinity Cat triad, the latest representatives of the Nashville indie punk scene. I’ll readily admit to being a big DP fan - I’ve seen them four times, once with JEFF and once with Music Band. I knew these were DP’s buds, so I had high expectations. JEFF was … Read more
Pujol
X File On Main St.
Infinity Cat (2011)
There’s no wasting time on X File on Main St. Within the first few lines, singer Daniel Pujol has taken his stance on careers, art, children, and life in general. I don’t know much, if anything, about his previous acts Meemaw and Saigon Baby, but Pujol plays noisy, stripped down garage that celebrates a DIY punk ethic. His vocals are … Read more
