Stevie Moore.īenjamin wrote, played, and recorded everything heard throughout on the album. He’s also currently playing with Scratch Offs and Air Rights.Įach of the album’s lo-fi, salt-of-the-earth numbers are rich in melody and distortion, capturing the essence of a new, post-pandemic Americana that recalls the fractured indie rock sensibilities and songwriting of Guided By Voices, Pavement, and R. Uneven Lanes‘ debut LP, About Time, gathers up three years of songs that have amassed in the margins after Lloyd Benjamin’s time spent playing guitar and singing with various punk and indie rock outfits, including All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, Affection, and more.

Hainters gonna haint, but this is the essential GGP release so far. “I Was A Teenage Were-chud” tells a wicked tale of heavy breathing and depravity in the graveyard under the pale moonlight, embracing the monster-movie nightmares that the group invokes from the cover art to the ghastly tongue-in-cheek song titles. The Bandcamp tracklist is different from what’s on Spotify, and the CD features seven songs that aren’t on the LP.
One, possibly two songs willfully violate the rules with vocals, depending on how you’re listening to the album. “Drac’d Raw Dot Com” and “Smells Like Teenage Sewage” carry the distortion of 8-bit dungeon synth sounds to horrific depths a nod to which comes through in the album’s title, Dungeon Surf. Other tunes, such as “Terror Vision” and “How Do You Like Your Hyperspace Maggots, Michael?” are utterly gritty and nasty-in the most appealing way those adjectives can be used. “Massive Severed Laphog In A Paper Bag” leads the firebrand charge with delay effects layered over tons of reverb, so much so that it actually sounds like the song is splashing out of the speakers. There’s also an undeniable sense of humor being telegraphed in those over-the-top songs’ titles.
Songs such as “Ghouls On Film,” “Radon Chong,” and “Smells Like Teen Sewage” show off a reverence for the classic reverb and kerrang of the Ventures, Dick Dale, and the Trashmen as much as the creepy underworld soundscapes of Vic Mizzy and Danny Elfman.

These howlies prefer the eerie light of the full moon to the warm California sun, making their wide-eyed instrumentals all the more engaging. What sets apart these Georgia-by-way-of-Tennessee misfits from run-of-the-mill Tommy Bahama shorts-wearing surf parrots is an increasingly twisted descent into the outsider fringes of the grotesque. It can be overwhelming to newcomers, but the group’s latest proper full-length, This Is...Dungeon Surf!!!, distills the spirit of a full-throttle genre-bending haunted-house and surf-punk saga into 17 spooktacular cuts. The profits from both are all going to Cancer Research.Anyone who’s paying attention knows that Genki Genki Panic cranks out new music at an alarming pace. The measly sum of three pounds is all we are asking for! There will be the obligatory Double A-Side Records Raffle and programmes for sale, too. Livingston’s dream-poppers bring to the table a dose of psychedelic reverb-y sounds.

Check out the debut single taken from it below.ĭouble A-Side Record’s own Home Economics are once again bringing you their own brand of “shambolic pop” and silly 90s TV references. What’s more, they have an album coming out on October 6th on Edinburgh’s City of Glass. Self-described as “Edinburgh’s premier guitar-pop POWER-trio.” The band have been making quite a stir in their hometown and beyond. but who ever listened to these things anyway…) We have an exciting line-up of guitar-pop talent from the central belt filling Broadcast’s basement. This week on Wednesday night, we are having another little party (I know school night again etc.
