New Punk Jam from VIDEO

December 8, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

For me, 2011 has been an excellent reemergence (in my life, at least) of the punk rock. One of the most recent albums I’ve been spinning a lot lately has come from Denton’s VIDEO. The band is comprised of members of Wax Museums and Bad Sports, bands I’ve already raved about. They just released their album, Leather Leather, on Play Pinball! Records, and it’s nothing but a rocking adventure, harkening back to the grittier days of rock n’ roll. On the track below, the song just builds and builds, exploding in the chorus in dramatic fashion, giving you an impression of a killer live show sure to come (12/28 in Austin). If you’re looking to get your blood boiling, then look no further than right here! And head to the record store to pick up your copy, as you can see that it’s got some unique packaging; I think it’s their to hide the fury inside.

New Track from Wax Museums

April 14, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The incestuous punk rock scene in Texas is alive and well, and I’m grateful for that fact. Wax Museums returns to the forefront of the movement with their latest release, Eye Times, after a three year hiatus, which will be in stores June 28th via Trouble in Mind Records. Lyrically, you’ll probably find the track to be a touch on the simple side, but it’s such a quick power-driven number that you can’t help but get attached from the moment those drums clash with the guitars in a cacophonous moment of energy and melody. With members from Bad Sports, Silver Shampoo and Mind Spiders, there’s not a reason in the world why this won’t be super awesome.

New Tunes from Silver Shampoo

February 28, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

There’s a sweet new label quietly kicking out some really solid jams this year, and we’ll be bringing you a bit of the tunes from the label this week. For now, we’ll call the label Krazy Punx, and the first gem I’ve grabbed onto comes from Silver Shampoo, a product of Paul Museums. The newest album is called Higher and Higher, and its sort of all over the place, but in the most wonderful sort of way. You get a bit of garage, but then the next track you’ve got this catchy little bop pushing you along. It’s just a whole lot of fun, and the kind of thing we can all dig as the weather gets sunny. Try this out for size.
