3 Songs: On Repeat
White
Reaper – “I Don’t Think That She Cares” (Today the
Louisville garage-punk band has released their highly-anticipated debut album, White Reaper Does It Again, via
Polyvinyl Records. With a punk-informed snarl
and a stuck-to-the-ground bubblegum melodicism, their energetic take on rock
and roll explodes with fuzz-leaden guitars, bouncy New Wave-like synth lines
and furious breakneck rhythms that deliver on the hefty promise of last year’s outstanding
debut EP.) http://whitereaperusa.com/
Failure
– “Mulholland Drive” (After nearly 20 years, the legendary 90’s alt-rock trio led
by Ken Andrews recently released The
Heart is A Monster, the long-awaited yet unexpected follow up to their 1996
masterpiece, Fantastic Planet. The band reformed in 2014 for a few celebrated
reunion dates, which turned into a full-fledged tour with Tool, which turned
into a new album and now even more touring.
The stunning new album is a collection of 18 perfectly crafted songs that
are drenched in their trademark dense guitar-driven space-rock and Ken’s knack
for soaring, ear-worming melodies for a most welcomed return that is worthy of
the lengthy wait.) http://www.failureband.com/
Refused
–
“Elektra” (Yet another surprise came from the monumentally-influential Swedish
punk band Refused, who recently released Freedom,
their first album since 1998’s iconic The
Shape of Punk to Come. Out now on
Epitaph, they return with an incendiary new set of politically-charged punk
anthems and though they claim “nothing has changed” on the feral first single with
its metallic riffs, stuttering rhythm and throat-shredding screams; the band
shows off a new experimental side that introduces elements of Chili Pepper-like
funk and bright pop production from Top 40 mainstay Shellback into the mix
resulting in an experience both polarizing and satisfying all at once.) http://officialrefused.com/
