Watch it, seriously it rules! 90s movie gold

TRAMPLED BY TURTLES

TRAMPLED BY TURTLES

The other night I was at the Murcury lounge in Manhattan, I was setting up when 5 guys walked in. The one that cought my eye was a tall bearded man wearing overalls and carrying a banjo, I thought to myself I have to check these guys out.

Later that night I walked back into the main room where the bearded man in overalls had taken the stage with his four friends and man the crowd was loving it.
They had a banjo (Dave Carroll), a Mandolin (Erik Berry), a fiddle (Ryan young), a bass (Tim Saxhaug), a accoustic (David Simonett) and they all sung except the fiddle player.

I was instantly sucked into their bluegrass, they had so much energy it made me want to drink wiskey and party all night out on someones property out in the country.

Trampled by turtles are from Duluth, Minnesota. They released their debut album in 2004 "Songs from a ghost town"

I have only had the pleasure of hearing their two latest albums "Duluth"

2008

Palomino

2010

I have not been able to stop myself from listening to these albums, so good to hear some honest music.

Trash Talk

TRASH TALK

If you don't know this name yet write it down, cos this band rules hard!
This is the best hardcore (throw in a little doom) I have heard in a long time.
From Sacramento, California, formed in 2005 TRASH TALK have

4 eps

Trash Talk 7" (Sell Our Souls, 2005)

Split with Steel Trap (Spiderhost Pressgang, 2006)
Plagues (Malfunction Records, 2007)
East of Eden (Trash Talk Collective, 2009)

3 albums

Walking Disease (Rumble Records/Six Feet Under Records, 2006)

Trash Talk (Trash Talk Collective, 2008)
Eyes & Nines (Trash Talk Collective, 2010)

A demo

2005 demo (Sell Our Souls, 2005)

And a live album

Live At United Blood (Six Feet Under Records, 2008)

The first two albums Walking Disease and Trash Talk are the only ones that I have listened to so far and I have to say that I love these ablums, the album "Trash Talk" was produced by steve albini. Lets be honest Steve Albini sometimes is a little hit and miss but he nailed "Trash Talk" it is awesome from start to finish and wow what a finish it is.
  I had the pleasure of seeing them play in texas at SXSW, it was their 7th show of the day, but that didn't stop them from tearing the place apart. So much energy


Their latest album Eyes and Nines

was produced by Joby J. Ford from The Bronx and has been getting rave reviews everywhere i seem to go.

so check it out.

Lazerfest 2010

Ah Lazerfest such a eye opener

Spraynard

Spraynard are awesome!!!

I found this band thanks to another blog that I love

http://thismusicismylife.blogspot.com/

Back to Spraynard

These guys are just an honest, raw and to put simply RAD band.
They come from West Chester, Pennsylvania United States

I like their attitude

"spraynard is a new band from west chester, pa. we were lucky enough to witness the very tail end of the glory known as the west chester punk rock scene. unfortunately, we were also knee deep in the collapse of said scene. there is no doubt that punk rock in west chester is dead, but instead of moving away and placing our hope elsewhere, we have decided to do our best to revive it."

I dont need to ramble on about these guys just listen to them and you'll know what I'm talking about.


With flyers like this how could you not like it.

I'd put a link up to download their stuff but its all up for download on their website

Party On!!

Lets get it straight

Ok so Mansfield is the town where I come from and it rules!

Its about 15 minutes south of Brisbane in Australia, its full of some of the biggest Churches in Australia, one big ass shopping centre, a few smaller ones, lots of schools and a bunch of old people.

The best thing to do in Mansfield is Nothing and thats why I love it. Most people spend there weekends working on their gardens, having a BBQ, going to the shopping centre to get into the airconditioning and going to the movies.

My favorite thing to do is walk down to 7 eleven on Newnham Rd get a Slurpee then go to the movies at Garbo ( the shopping Centre)

In terms of Music there has only been one band that has ment anything to come out of Mansfield and that is the almighty Razar.


Razar Released their first 7" in 1978 Task Force (Undercover Cops) / Stamp Out Disco 7"

And it rules check it out

So now that I am Touring around America all I have left is the music and the memories that this great place has given me and hope that I will be home again soon.

Party on
