Bloc Party have been kind enough to post a live mp3… here it is, hot from SXSW…
Weird War (once known as the Scene Creamers) has some lineup changes and other strange things swirling around their camp, but they are still making sweet music tunes like they did in previous bands various members have been in such as The Make-up, Witchypoo, Nation of Ulysses…
The first release from the new Weird War record is called “Illuminated” and it’s a T-rex style jam with stompin’ guitar and young-dude vocals. You’ll like it or double your money back!
Yo for all your live rap bootleg needs, there’s a new one-stop shop: Steady Bootleggin’
If you like beautiful-dreamy-experimental-melodic pop music then you should save all the Women and Children mp3s you can from their download page:
Black Mountain’s self titled album came out earlier this year and people (including our own Chaz Bartok) loved it. The return of rock has taken a heavy, political turn with these Canadians who also work in mental health for the indigent. Rock in the week with these mp3s, including “Druganaut” which calls to mind the classic Sabbath tune “Supernaut” in name if not in style, and features Black Mountain’s trademark male/female vocal assault backed by sludgejumper riffs and detuned pyschjam explosions. The other tune, “Heart of Snow”, shows the band’s mellower, depressive side, with slower but still epic axework.
Smilex are bunch of crazy punk rockers from England. Here they are performing their hit “Sex 4 Sale” in front of a festival crowd…
