Mississippi's Cats Purring Collective is invading the 40 Watt this Saturday, the same night as the UGA vs. Ole Miss game. Win tickets below! I've posted about Dent May before when his band played our company's 15th anniversary , and the "Home Groan" video , which speaks to me a little bit as someone who chose to stay in their funky Southern town, so here's another taste from the video for "Best Friend." Start warming up your smooth dance moves. [...]

BASS DRUM OF DEATH "GET FOUND" I'm so upset I missed these guys when they played last month! They headlined a show with our good friends The Grizzled Mighty at a really small venue in Seattle, and I try not too think about how much fun I missed out on...They're like a juvenile version of Queens of the Stone Age ( [...]

I like the new Red7. I really do. But there are only so many purple pics I can edit before going cross-eyed. For this show, I was back at the friendly confines of The Mohawk where all are welcome. Ahh, green, red, blue and plain ole off-white - The openers, La Migra , even decided to do an uplit by light bulb thing. I cranked up the ISO and had a whisky, pinky-raised. Bass Drum of Death [...]

Date Tuesday, July 10th Location Mohawk Doors 900p Tickets $8 from Frontgate If you're looking for a show that's going to rock your socks off then you better get out to the Mohawk on Tuesday night. One of my favorite acts, Bass Drum of Death , is heading into town with a [...]

John Barrett is not the first songwriter to unleash every ounce of neuroses and rage in caustic guitars and furious rhythms, and considering his generation's affection for all things garage he won't be the last. But in tandem with drummer Colin Sneed as Bass Drum of Death he has a knack for making them sound like pop songs. The Oxford, Miss., duo is already working on a follow-up to last spring's debut on Fat Possum Records, and while Bass Drum of Death would probably take a whupping from JEFF the Brotherhood in a battle of the two-pieces, we're [...]

Sometimes, simple is just fine. Oxford, MS based band Bass Drum of Death are working on their follow up album to 20112s GB City , and "White Fright" is our first taste. While it might lack for frills and innovation, "White Fright" more than makes up for it by being a straight-forward, head-slamming stream of fuzz-fueled, chunky rock and roll. What more could you need? Be sure to catch Bass Drum of Death ON TOUR.

Garage rock two-piece Bass Drum of Death debuted their first single from their forthcoming sophomore release, which, as of yet, doesn't have a title or release date. Check out "White Fright" below.

Stream a new track from M$ punks Bass Drum of Death , White Fright , is off their tour only 73 and is our first taste from the beginnings of their second album. As ever, it's a quick hitter, replete with fuzzy hooks, a breezy confidence, and a sick little solo - a continuation of everything that worked on their first album, 20112s GB City, making it one of my favorites from recent memory. More than enough to whet the palette, but more, if they're coming to your town (refer to [...]

Stereogum Oxford, MS torchbearers Bass Drum Of Death are working on their second album, a follow-up to 20112s GB City , and our first look at that comes in the form of "White Fright," a two-and-a-half-minute slice of their riffy, hook-obsessed garage rock. Stream it below. Read More... [...]
