FEARLESS SONS - NEW EP

Through the grapevine we are hearing that Fearless Sons (formerly Primitive Skin) is set to record their second EP at Adrian Grenier's WRECKROOM studios in Brooklyn. "Fearless Sons are a three-piece hard psych rock band from New York City. The band’s sound is a departure from and a reaction to the airy synth-pop sound that dominates the underground music scene today. The band roots itself in the musical aesthetic of musical icons like The Jesus and Mary Chain, Primal Scream, Spacemen 3, The Stooges and Nick Cave while also drawing inspiration from primitive urges, dark imagery and the human experience. Their compositions shift dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive guitar riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Fearless Sons will take you on a ride through hazy ruins of time only to spit you back out onto the dirty city streets of New York." We are excited to hear what these boys put out. A lo-fi self-recording of one of the tracks off their upcoming EP can be found here:

ANIMAL PARTY - AND THE SUN WILL RISE

New video from San Fran. rocker Kiyoshi Foster and his latest project Animal Party. Classic, hard hitting rockroll. Looking forward to hearing the full length from these boys. The Sun Will Rise!

PRIMITIVE SKIN LIVE AT THE FINAL LOFT PARTY, TRIBECA

Here are some photos and clips from the exclusive show:

Primitive Skin

We recently caught up with our buddies Brian Whiteley and Sam Dye from multiple former Brooklyn projects such as The Rich Get Richer. The boys have started a new group called Primitive Skin with new guitarist/Jersey heart-throb Ryan Bradley. This band is vast departure from the airy synth-pop that dominates the Brooklyn music scene today. The band seeks to put the balls back into rock while rooting itself in something more spiritual, drawing from icons such as The Stooges, Nick Cave, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Primal Scream. The psych-sleaze-rock trio will take you on a droned trance journey through foggy ancient temples and then spit you back out onto dirty city streets, drunkenly kicking over trashcans and yelling at girls in short skirts. The band shifts dynamically from one moment to the next, moving from hazy repetitive riffs to explosive grinding choruses. Check their live recordings out on myspace before your friends do and see them live in Brooklyn asap.

Bad Dream

Have you ever seen the movie "The Van" from 1977? In my book it's a cult classic about van culture in the 70's. It makes me wanna throw on a tight tee, some bell bottoms, and do some serious making out in an oceanside parking lot in the back of a Chevy van. It's pretty rad except for the weak theme song and wuss soundtrack music. If I were cruising around in a sweet decked-out 70's van, trying to pick up babes, doing some drag racing for cash, and smoking drugs, I would want to be listening to Bad Dream from Brooklyn. The band plays loose stoner riff-rock that borders on early fuzzed-out metal. Check out Black Blizzard on their myspace and experience the riffing guitar, enormous fuzz-wah bass, and primal drumming. Turn it up and imagine rolling down a two lane highway in your Chevy van called the "Straight Arrow" on the way to meet your friends at the bowling alley OR rolling down the BQE in Brooklyn with Bad Dream in their GMC van called "Betsy II."
