At any point in time you may catch me watching television, usually an Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD, Comedy Central, or Cartoon Network. However, lately, I've been watching The Food Network almost nonstop. No, seriously. So with my diligent viewing of shows like 'Food 911!' and 'Inside Dish with Rachael Ray' I've decided to present you with the following recipe.

Title: Grace Gale 'A Few Easy Steps to Secure Heli-Camel Safety' Casserole

Categories: Casseroles, Cheese, Sassy, Shrieked Vocals

Yield: 9 Tracks of 'sassy screamo'

Ingredients:

1 lb of Sassiness via The Blood Brothers or ground turkey (Cook's choice)

8 oz of attempted post-hardcore

1 Onion (chopped)

1/2 Cup of disposable riffage

1 Can of tomato paste

1/2 Cup stupid humor

1 copy of any album from the discography of The Letters Organize (Cook's choice)

A dash of 'dance party massacre' - As noted in track 3 'I Don't Know How to Put This' But I'm Kind of a Big Deal'

1 pkg. Macaroni and Cheese

In large skillet, mix the Sassiness via The Blood Brothers with an attempt at post hardcore, onion and disposable riffage. Stir in the tomato paste with the stupid humor. Cook the macaroni and cheese according to package directions, adding milk, cheese, and the dance party massacre to the mixture. Cook on medium heat for 33 minutes and 49 seconds, or to an album length you desire. Sign to Blackout! Records, mix well, press to compact disc, and serve.

Tune in next week when I show you how to cook up a tough guy hardcore cake!

Circuit des Yeux

Halo On The Inside
Matador (2025)

Haley Fohr's artistic vehicle, Circuit des Yeux, defies categorisation. Stamping the indie folk label on her was superficial, something dispelled easily once you have experienced the lo-fi distortion of "The Girl With No Name." It might be that under the layers of sonic disfigurement, a folk ethos is present in Fohr's narrative sensibility, but it is no longer the same. … Read more

ZEPHR

Past Lives
Dumb Ghost, Snappy Little Numbers (2025)

Sometimes you can just hear the passion in a voice. ZEPHR is one of those bands. They defy convention a little bit, in that I associate gravelly voices with harsher, heavier sounds, but ZEPHR use sore-throat vocals to great effect with midtempo, emotional and melodic 3-chord chugging punk rock and some DC sound. In few words, it's raw, both musically … Read more

Kreiviskai

Motinai
Infinite Fog Productions (2025)

Kreiviskai's origins are deeply rooted in the neofolk sound and ethos. Their debut record, Zemmis : supnãi, focuses on the musical lineage of Tver, embracing the traditional instrumentation to produce a somber and moving piece. Their follow-up record, Nonregnum expands outward, focusing on various historical events and introducing further influences. The pull of neo-classical is palpable, while the abrasive industrial … Read more
