It's The Recommender's third birthday today, (please leave any happy birthday wishes in the comments), so we have set about planning when and where to celebrate! As if by divine intervention we have one of our favourite new bands, Real Fur , arriving in Brighton to play a rather special show , on Thursday 31st March. This band are not only utterly brilliant, but they're famed for throwing these secret 'Safari Funk' parties in London. They are always held in strange and unusual places, such as old post offices and laundrettes. They turn up, [...]
Is it time to start listing the best tracks of year already? Why yes, yes it is. It seems really early, but hey once we have one hundred and twenty minutes or so of awesomeness playlisted up, it's time to post. You can download any or all of the tracks at your leisure or you can stream all the songs in this mix using the Yahoo media player at the bottom left of the page. If you are using Chrome you should really think about installing the awesome ex.fm extension (especially if [...]

Calgary's Women is still my favorite band. Hearing about their so called "break" left me feeling all bummed out. Hoping the band will get back together. Found out that split 72 was released on Jan 10, 2011. For now the band has done a limited edition split 72 with Friendo (Michael Wallace who plays drum with Women, which is other band.), Cold Pumas and Fair Ohs . Check out the interview I did with Friendo back in 2009. [...]
Out now! A new split from Faux Discx featuring songs from Women , Cold Pumas, Fair Ohs, and Friendo. Stream below: -

Cold Pumas new track "Dawn Lobby" sounds like a dense cloud of post-rock noise. It isn't heavy in any way, rather its speedily ethereal, but it envelops, clinging to your beat-up leather jacket like wisps of sonic cigarette smoke. Quite honestly this feels like a natural progression of the recent reversion in to shoe-gaze. It [...]
New track from Women - who may or may not still be a band - taken from a limited new split 73 with Friendo, Fair Ohs + Cold Pumas , out now on Faux Discx . ____________ elsewhere : Grouper has announced a new "two part vinyl" LP: look for A I A to be self-released by [...]
Women — Bullfight To those still suffering from ' Public Strain ' withdrawal, fear not-there's still leftovers to be had. Fresh jam "Bullfight" appeared on a recent split with Fair Ohs , Cold Pumas , and Friendo . While it doesn't have the punch-in-the-gut factor of "Eyesore" or "Narrow With The Hall", it should help tide you over till they kiss and make up (fingers crossed). [ mp3 ]
It's time to listen to a bunch of the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. These are just a few of the songs that would get there own individual posts on here on GIMME TINNITUS, if I only had the time. Listen. Downloadables: Super Duper Rescue Heads! (mp3) by Deerhoof MUTANT (mp3) by WAVVES Altered Yeast (mp3) by Cold Pumas [...]
The thunderous gods converge once more on the black mountain peak where their three acolytes have summoned them. Sheltering from the elements inside their robes, their top buttons fastened against the cold, the fraternity begin their ritualised attack the bare stone of the peak with a rhythmic frenzy, creating a pit of sound and fury. Deep now within the pit - the wind finding an acoustically pleasing home - the three hooded figure begin constructing their anti-Euclidean temple. Beautiful pillars shaped from the distorted lines of millennia of sediment. And then they sing, which was unexpected given the [...]
Dalston, London's Male Bonding (pictured above) released a split 73 single with Brighton's Cold Pumas last September on Faux Discx. Seeing that the 73 is now sold out, the two bands are being quite magnanimous, offering up both songs - 'Stare at My Problems' (Male Bonding at their usual 'nyah nyah nyah' best) and 'Altered Yeast' (Cold Pumas, who I'd never heard of before but should be right up your alley if you're a Male Bonding fan) - for free download. Listen and download them below.
To all those who fear that Brighton is dead (you should, it is), I've got something that should brighten (punning!) your day. The Green Door Store is having its launch party on December 7th. The Green Door Store is our only hope we have to replace the Freebutt in terms of venue size and bands [...]
Brighton label Faux Discx have just announced the release of a Canada/ UK split 73 for early January 2011. The 73 will feature a brand new track by Women called "Bullfight" as well as a contribution from Friendo (featuring Michael of Women) in the shape of "Pass Times". UK touring partners Fair Oh's and Brighton's own Cold Pumas round out the release. You can listen to the release in full and place your pre-order of the record over at Faux Discx's Bandcamp page . All pre-orders come [...]
In a black tinsel hung room that resembles a warped Anti-Claus grotto, Santa is nowhere to be seen. Instead Cold Pumas are going hell for leather with guitars that sound like sticking your head in a washing machine and pressing fast-spin cycle. They have vocals so smothered in everything that it's impossible to hear any words – this is the sound of the lo-fi garage-punk scene if the garage was built in an echoing cave. "Have we got any bass coming through this?" their lead singer questions pointing to the stage monitors - technicalities are obviously not the [...]
i FINALLY went to see Cold Pumas last night. it was awesome and pretty sweaty. Cold Pumas - Beat Mystery [buy it on gorgeous vinyl here ]
No Soup For You Like the self-combusting Explode Into Colors , the visceral Foot Village , or even the viscious HEALTH , Cold Pumas exorcise their daily malaise in extended mutant dance, post punk and psychedelic hardcore. Their songs are jittery, anxious cliffhangers that transform you into an overstimulated mess the more you listen to them. 'Altered Yeast' is mile-a-minute, edge-of-your-seat song with barely a breath of vocals amidst a chorus of pummeling guitars and drums. Meteoric rhythms jump-start cyclical guitar notes in 'Party Trip' in the [...]
Oh hi guys! I haven't got a lot of time to blog, as mentioned before, so I decided to put a couple of musical things I enjoy together in one post. DOM - Living In America [ mp3 ] "It's so sexyyyyy to be living in America" This pretty much says it all. Amazing, fresh summer sing-a-long jam. I can see myself dancing to this on a festival as the sun goes down... Hopefully this won't just stay a dream/thought. [...]
Cold Pumas specialize in pounding, motorik repetition that grabs the groove for dear life. Running rings around themselves with exultant abandon, these 3 spirited men from Brighton are haunted by grand visions, combining cyclical, harmonised guitar riffs, impressionistic vocals & interwoven rhythms to great effect. Their latest offering comes on a 73 finding Cold Pumas at the zenith of their dance orientated weird-outs. "Beat Mystery" is an epic growing repeato-jam, echoing guitar driven along to euphoric heights with a propulsive energy. The drums hit hard into a kraut vault, shimmering away into cymbals just at the right breathing [...]
