Needless Records Drops Woven Bones/Jacuzzi Boys Split 7"

Buy it using "paypayl." NEEDLESS RECORDS (MYSPACE)

TRIPWIRE REVIEW:

Next up is a split between Miami’s Jacuzzi Boys and Austin’s Woven Bones on the upstart Needless Records and damned if it’s not one hell of a first release. Both bands have been tearing it up as of late, and Woven Bones follow up their awesome HoZac Hookup Klub single with “Grown Crazy”, a slow-slicing shoegaze-psych jam that flares up with rumbling distortion squalls, fuzz wah-wah action and heavily FX’d vocals, basically something akin to the Reid brothers dropping LSD in some palatial garden while trying to play the Seeds’ back catalog. On the flip, Jacuzzi Boys follow up their awesome Rob’s House single with “The Countess”, another tasty slice of their southern-fried punky slo-core goodness. It’s stately and restrained, yet retains a burning psych underbelly that keeps it tight and punk at its core. These are still available from the label’s MySpace, so get on over there and grab some for you and your friends.

ten photos of silversun pickups (street scene 2009 preview)

Street Scene 2009 preview week continues with photographs of the Silversun Pick-Ups. Not withstanding Fergies celebrity appeal, the Silversun Pickups really have their shit together industry-wise. Their ascent illustrates a fact of the "pitchfork model" of music development (even though they are not a 'pitchfork' band- stay with me here) in that there will still be relative "winners" who emerge to become music industry professionals because the apparatus of distribution is still in place, waiting for properly qualifying acts. Since this apparatus is industrial/mechanical in nature it functions with WHOEVER fills the slots. You don't have to like those bands, but you should have an understanding of how they achieved. On to the photographs:
