Bubonic Bear - Fleshworld

Bubonic Bear are a two piece who play sludgy metal. I really liked their Half Length and looking forward to their new album, This is two tracks from it.

Zounds- Curse Of The Zounds

I'd never heard of Zounds until 20 minutes ago when this album came on. It's really good, straight forward ish punk from 1981.

They are an anrcho punk band and were quite good friends with Crass though they sound quite different.

They recorded this, their debut album, in just five days. You wouldn't know it though when you hear how every song is crafted.

This is what I like in my old school punk, lots of energy and sneering and lyrics about the randomest of things that manage to have a social and political awareness about them.

This is punk in the same sense that Television is punk. The basis and construction are clearly punk but these artists are not content with sitting around doing the same thing everyone else is doing so it comes out as something not quite punk.

Or maybe it's just straight ahead punk and I'm thinking too much. In any event, great album.

Amalthea - Decisions Should Be A Desert Bright and Clear

A really good emo band. It's swedish and it verges on screamo when they really get going but over all it's an emo piece I think. A more emo and less screamy version of Suis La Lune would not be that far off

There is some post rock in this 2007 album but it does not jump out at you until the end thankfully

what's a Radio show?

If you listen to this thingy right here you will find out!

It is me blabbering into a microphone and telling you about this incredible, abrasive, emotional music that I love so very much.

 this week I will be playing Animal Faces, Book of Caverns, Gift Eaters, Shiner, Loud?, Book of Dead Names, Alexander Korda, Bev.Clone, Agna Moraine’s Autobiography, Jowls & Sing! Sing! Prison.


Here's a reason to follow me on here instead of tumblr, that list had better punctuation.

Adelleda - Herkimer Street

Adellada are a sweet melodic hardcore punk rock band from Hamilton. They mash a whole bunch of different genres into one super fast, catchy in points and suprisingly melodic punk rock album. They describe themselves as being influenced by "Black Flag, Bad Religion, and Minor Threat to Alexisonfire, Protest The Hero, and Rise Against."

I don't really hear the more hardcore or progressive elements they cite, this is just a fast as balls, melodic at points punk rock album. Lots of backing gang vocals and a metric ton of energy
