Bratty Tune from EULA

eulaRemember when the YYYs were a force to be reckoned with, musically speaking? Listening to this new single from Brooklyn’s EULA I get the same impression, though I think it could hit even harder had the band wanted to go that way.  The song’s propelled by a shouted vocal that operates over a discordant guitar chord ringing atop a bubbling little bass line.  Percussion here is rather low in the mix, but it creates this thrilling sense of anxiety that pulls the listener along.  It’s the A-side to the band’s new 7″ that sees a release from Bloodmoss Records on July 15th.

Noisy Number from SLAVVE

slavveWhen I saw that this tune from SLAVVE was created by a former member of Surfer Blood, I didn’t expect the minimalist bit of noise punk that came through my speakers.  Still, while it does bring forth a layer of distortion, there’s still that anthemic quality that made SB quite popular.  I like the gunshot drum bits that come in near the middle of the track; it adds a layer of fuck-all to the production.  The band have signed on to Bloodmoss Records (home of Future Death) to release their SLAVVE EP, which should find the band making quite a name for themselves with tunes just like this one.
