Macedonia is about as far away from the rock epicenter as
you can get, which explains this great piece of music. There is little rock
here, much more of a film score using very creepy atmospheric tones and sounds.
I played this while I was reading the morning paper and it provided perfect accompaniment
to the horrors presented in those pages.
This band’s name perfectly sums up their sound. Not sure
how, but it does. This group form the Netherlands put together a short little
single that takes equally from Shoegaze and foot-stomping rock anthems. It is big, scary, and rocking. The group is
playing a bunch of shows around Dutch speaking lands, and will hopefully drop a
full EP on us soon.
Jumping down to Brazil we get a fist full of garage dynamite
from these lovely lads. Everything you want and nothing you don’t from your
punk infused garage rock. It gets to the point, kicks in your eardrums, and
tries to fuck your girlfriend. You might have to punch one of the group’s
members during their set, but that’s half their charm.
After getting my ass kicked in, I need to take things down a
notch and nurse my sore bum. I pop in Remedies and it does the trick. Chill electronic
jams that could still scare your local yoga instructor away from using them as
meditation tools. When the reverb soaked vocals come in to Dyybuk (the
strongest track on this EP), it just about pushes everything else out of my
mind. Sure, they are from Alabama, but I won’t hold that against them. If they
are playing music like this in bedrooms across the state, I will have to fly in
sometime.
