![Song Cycle #1: "Stay" by Box Elders [Track Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1953865_lg.jpg)
If there's one thing I love, it's a song that sticks in my head like a big sheet of flypaper then melts all over my brain. "Stay" by Box Elders is just such a track. It starts with a Phil Spector "boom ... boom-boom, bap, boom ... boom-boom, bap," Ronettes-style, then the instrumental melody, seemingly a steel drum recreated by a synthesizer, jumps into the fray and you'll be helpless. But it doesn't end there. The vocals, while not the main attraction, are serviceable, [...]

I've been incredibly busy the past couple of weeks (primarily moving, among other things) and I'm just now finally getting settled in. I don't think I've had this kind of incessant time away from blogging since I started this thing, but hopefully things will get back to normal around here. What better way to kick things off than with The Daily Graboid, as this will be another chunk of the last month or so of releases that I've missed. Starting next week I will probably get back to a weekly posting of this, so I'm sure [...]
Can we please let Bygones be ... Bygones ?
Guitar wizard Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos and the ever-prolific Zach Hill are bygones . A small supergroup perhaps, but nonetheless an exciting collaboration for just about anyone who's paying attention to tech-rock of any form. Their debut record, by- , is a collection of fairly accessible, blistering math jams featuring vocal work from both members. It's strange pop bent is probably best captured on "Click on That (Smash the Plastic Death)", which really does sound like some kind of middle ground between Tera Melos' Complex [...]
Zach Hill, Zach Hill, Zach Hill. His flurries of unpredictable percussion have more side effects than untested medications: dizzy spells, stroke, headaches, upset stomach.And he always brings the same power and energy to any project he takes on. His side project Flossin had an impressive EP release earlier this year, but we're still trying to make sense of his first solo album.This time around,
Bygones - "Click On That (Smash the Plastic Death)" ; I don't know who thought to combine Zach Hill of Hella and Nick Reinhart of Tera Melos, but damn these guys are creating quite the spastic racket. At this point you all should know the reputations of both men as crazed musicians, but putting them together speeds up even further. Insane shit right here. Grade : B+ The Honey Brothers - "Demonstration" ; Welcome to the latest in a long line [...]
At dentist. "Do you have a problem with instruments in your mouth?" "No, I don't think so....why, did somebody write that down last time?" "Yes." MP3's=no gag reflex here Bygones : "Click On That (Smash the Plastic Death)" w/ members of Hella and Tera Melos, debut album by- comes out in August. [...]
If Zach Hill weren't male and a drummer, he's be a perfect fit in the role of 'Samantha' from the famed female series (and film) Sex and the City . He gets in bed with so many men in the name of pleasure that we're sure Kim Cattrell and Sarah Jessica Parker could recite some terrible sex pun to explain away his exploits. But perhaps the pure heart of Tera Melos ' Nick Reinhart will steady Hill's wandering eye. The duo, going by the name Bygones , are readying to release their debut [...]

Bygones are the guitar-and-drums duo of Zach Hill (Hella, Team Sleep, Marnie Stern) and Nick Reinhart ( Tera Melos ) joining together in one significantly thrashy affair. The guys are set to release their debut disc, by- , on August 4 with an Internet pre-order set to begin July 1. The notably wiry, angular, totally jammed out to shit songs are reminiscent of Hill's era with Hella but are equaled by none. Tracklist: 01 Cold Reading 02 Click On That (Smash The Plastic Death) 03 Not What It Is But What It's [...]
Bygones is a project from Zach Hill (drums, vocals) & Nick Reinhart (guitar, bass, vocals), of the bands Hella and Tera Melos.

Let Bygones be by - Zach Hill (Hella) and Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos) announce new duo's debut What can be said about Bygones? Have you heard of Hella? Tera Melos? These bands don't need words to get their point across. So logically, a project bred from their members Zach Hill (drums, vocals) & Nick Reinhart (guitar, bass, vocals) is equally successful at rendering listeners speechless. Check out "Click On That (Smash The Plastic Death)" HERE . Come August 4th, Bygones' debut album by- will most certainly render even the most loquacious and easily-distracted dumbfounded. It's [...]
