Noiserock and heavy psychedelic music
Earlier this year I shared the single from this album and until yesterday, I had played that single at least 100 times. AT LONG LAST we have the full length album and front to back it’s the complete package. The chemistry the band members have to consistently put out jams is something I will be looking forward to for a long time. Enjoy!
I’m a firm believer in these guys and they haven’t missed a beat yet when it comes to releases. “Aqua Mundo” is by far my favorite release from the guys, if you’re looking for some surf/garage rock this is your jam. I’ve never wanted to spend my time sun burnt, tripping on a beach like I do when I’m listening to this album.
Back in October of 2019, John and the crew recorded a live album at The Chapel in San Francisco. If you’ve caught any of their live sessions you know they deliver. The set list for this one might be my favorite! the band released a buig amount of music lately so check out their bandcamp page for more stuff.
One of my favorite duo’s currently, Raw Optics has continuously laid down the heat we need in our lives. This new single is exactly as it sounds, a mixture of war and surf, while still keeping their great sound!

Three months ago we were blessed with K.G. and following that is the microtonal masterpiece, L.W. Featuring three previously released singles, “If Not Now, Then When?”, “O.N.E.”, and “Pleura”, the album is a total of nine songs.
My personal favorite is “K.G.L.W”, the last song on the album, and also the name of the title track on “K.G.”? Same name, H U G E difference in substance. The latter of the two is HEAVY
The album is available on bandcamp for $1 which will be donated to Greenfleet. Greenfleet plants native biodiverse forests in Australia and New Zealand to capture carbon emissions.

The third single released by the guys in Black Bats is called ‘Swamp Fever’ and if you’ve ever been to the swamps of the south here in the US, this song might bring back some fond memories of those humid, fever dream nights. Below is the single as well as a clip half of the band managed to film during the tight Melbourne lockdown restrictions, where they set an ominous lounge scene to match the tone of the track.
Melt Citizen is Mike Peregrino and is from El Paso in my home state Texas. The EP ‘Dullard’ has a mixture of the Reatards, Sonic Youth and The Beach Boys and will without a doubt have you feeling FUZZY
