Mass Decay is a five piece powerviolence band from Massachusets, USA. Demo is their debut recording. They blast through five songs in less than two and a half minutes leaving everything around them in complete and utter ruins. This is designed to be played at the maximum volume your system will allow to encourage maxiumum destruction. It is a tad hard to tell these songs apart as they bleed into each other nicely but when Mike starts screaming "What the fuck will you do" on Lemmings you know it's almost time to hit play again. Thanks to Miss The Stars for pointing this out. This obviously won't be for everyone but if you're looking for some pissed off powerviolence Mass Decay's Demo will scratch that itch.

New Music Tuesday: Nurture- 2015 - Posthumously b/w Pick Your Pocket
Nurture is a three piece screamo band from Athens, Georgia. Posthumously b/w Pick Your Pocket is their 3rd EP. I'm not that into Pick Your Pocket but Posthumously is one of the best songs I've heard in awhile. The guitars are all over the place, chaotic and raging but also know how to drop out to allow for moments of clarity and beauty. The singers shout is in the middle of the mix, giving the shouts an even more desperate, chaotic feel.
Posthumously works layers of guitars, one carrying the melody the other pure chaos before ending in twinkles while Pick Your Pocket starts off more aggressive before spiraling off with buried in the mix shouts and chaotic guitars. Both these songs are good and this single is highly recommended. If you're looking for something new to scratch your screamo itch look no further than Nurture's Posthumously b/w Pick Your Pocket

New Music Tuesday: The Coneheads - 2015 - L.P.1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC-Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $$$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L.P."
The Coneheads are a punk rock band from Northwest Indiana. L.P.1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC-Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $$$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L.P. is their new LP courtesy of Erste Theke Tontraeger and that is the sum total of my knowledge about this band. The Coneheads play super fast brand of comically absurd punk rock. The vocals are either robotic monotone (the excellent cover of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer) or a high pitched, snotty shout (Notha Thang) while the subject matter of these hyper songs never strays from the absurd, the funny or science fiction.
They sound like Devo played at double if not triple speed or an even more manic Down Jones & The Industrials. These songs whip by incredibly fast implanting these hooks deep in your brain and compelling you to hit repeat. Highlights include Hack Hack Hack Variation 1, 1982, Violence, Way Things Am, I Used To Be A Cheesepuff and the aforementioned Notha Thang and cover of Talking Heads` Psycho Killer. If you're looking for some catchy, wacky, energetic punk rock The Coneheads' L.P.1. aka "14 Year Old High School PC-Fascist Hype Lords Rip Off Devo for the Sake of Extorting $$$ from Helpless Impressionable Midwestern Internet Peoplepunks L.P. will serve well.

New Music Tuesday: Careless - 2015 - I Wish You Away
Careless is a five piece screamo band from Stockholm, Sweden. I Wish You Away is their debut LP. Careless formed in 2012 and play an intense, yet catchy brand of post-rock inflected screamo. The singer has a desperate shout that can be either intense or about to fall apart while the guitars move fluidly between raging chaos, a little twinkling picking and straight ahead screamo. There is a comparison to be made here to bands like Todos Caeran and Book Of Caverns. Those Calgary based bands add post-rock into their modern screamo sound which only makes things more epic, it allows the songs to truly spiral out of control. These songs know how to put desperation and rage to great use, climbing to even greater heights of catharsis. Highlights include: Mirror Kintsukuroi, Jag kan inte drömma som dig, Pale As China and Faslsy Yours. Careless has crafted an excellent debut LP with I Wish You Away, they have their sound and know how to do it well. Highly recommended,
