PISSED JEANS - King of Jeans - 2009
www.myspace.com/pissedjeansband


Download

American band formed in 2004.
This is their third album.
Grunge, Noise, Garage, Stoner?
Anyway, definitely Rocking.
Makes me think of Oxbow sometimes.
Much recommended.

"If all albums came with a handy listening guide from their creators, King Of Jeans would read thusly: Hi y’all, we’re Pissed Jeans and we’d like to confront you with the inanity of your everyday existence. We ask you to please sit still while we bludgeon you into a coma with guitars that crunch like skulls under the wheels of Satan’s chariot."

OXBOW - The Narcotic Story - 2007
www.myspace.com/theoxbow


Download

American band formed in the late 80's.
Lead by the great/hyterical bluesy vocals of Eugene Robinson.
This is their last album. First part of a future tryptich.
A must-have.

"Oxbow don’t make music for you. At least assuming you are somebody who can’t remember the last time they awoke covered in their own vomit, drank until they couldn’t recall what they did next and kind of enjoyed knowing it was almost certainly demeaning for all involved, found a girl in their bed covered in excrement, or screwed the wrong person at the wrong time in all the wrong (read: right) ways. The Narcotic Story is a veritable handbook for the fucked up, concerning as it does a downtrodden gent named Frank lurching through the self-degrading shadows of life. It’s the first part of a triptych and, in its own way, perfectly cinematic."

"The Narcotic Story plays like a post-modernist blues record. The music is complex and unpredictable at times but the direct emotional rawness of the most acid-tongued bluesmen is intact and very plainly laid bare like a dumped corpse on a dirt road. It's hushed and thin but can fill the biggest space with claustrophobic dread in no time. The musicians of Oxbow have created a man-made airborne virus of paranoia and neuroses."
