Hasta acá llega la costumbre de dejar acumular el mixtape. Bueno, en junio nos pasará igual pero hay razones detrás de eso. Nada de qué preocuparse, pues el compilado de hoy trae varios de nuestros favoritos de las pasadas 6 semanas, como Mikal Cronin, Oh Sees, El Khatib, Girls Against Boys, Said The Whale, Mo Kenney y The Thermals . Además tenemos nuevas de Typhoon y Kinski , y una edición diferente de la que escuchamos de The Orwells en la pasada emisión de El Horno . [...]
Whew! What a weekend. Wait, was it what a weekend? I don't even remember what I did Friday night! I know I worked late…but after that…Oh, right, I stayed in. That wasn't at all exciting, was it? And last night I went across town to cash in on a dinner bet and hang out in [...]

The great '90s postpunkers Girls Against Boys never officially broke up, but they've been inactive since 2003. They're back now, and that is very good news. Back in the day, they combined punishing and skronked-out post-hardcore dynamics with consciously sexy disco-funk push-pull, keeping the focus squarely on the rhythm section by employing two bassists. They'll tour again this summer, and their live show is the sort of thing you absolutely want to see. And they've got a new song called "It's A Diamond Life," on which they sound like time has left their attack completely undiminshed. This thing could appear [...]

Girls Against Boys, aka GVSB, began as a studio lark for keyboardist Eli Janney (now also a busy record producer) and Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty, both regulars on the Washington DC punk scene. They were joined by Scott McCloud, singer/guitarist in the city's Soulside, for the industrial disco that would make up the "Eighties" portion of Nineties vs. Eighties. With the arrival of two more Soulsiders -- Johnny Temple joining on bass and Alexis Fleisig replacing Canty -- the second half of the six-song EP paints a more accurate portrait of the newly christened Girls Against Boys' future direction. On [...]

by Andrew Sacher DOWNLOAD: Lycaon Pictus - "I Give You A Rose" (MP3) Back in the '90s/early '00s, an art punk band by the name of Challenge of the Future existed in NYC, and upon their breakup in 2001, guitarist Nick Zinner went on to focus entirely on his other band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (maybe you've heard of them), and two other members, Aaron Diskin and Simon [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Yea so if you told somebody to make a band that sounded something like Hole and but told them to make the music and guitars drill deep in your head they would sound like Sex Jams . While not as bombastic or crude as lets say Songs About Fucking the tunes have a sonic youth flare. In particular the 2 guitar attack is evident on the slow sex jam "Twist and Turns". Now we you know we don't just push any old crap on you so know that if you are a sex worker or [...]

L'ho già scritto altre volte che sono un fan-atico dei Girls Against Boys .. Quando qualche mese fa ero nella bella stanza allestita per il merchandising del Supersonic , al banchetto della Southern records ( ti lascio il link ma se non sai cosa è/stata la Southern, negli anni Novanta di sicuro non ascoltavi la musica che ascoltavo io..) ho dilapidato buona parte del mio budget di cd. Per cinque sterline l'uno davano via un sacco di roba 'per uso interno', roba che tenevano in ufficio, 'library copies' in perfetto stato, cd senza un minimo graffio, [...]

The random mid-90s alt-rock compilation; is there any better source for oddball rarities and bizarro obscurities? It's thanks to this trend of "let's package as many bands who we think the kids who like Nirvana might like together and see what happens" we have albums like No Alternative , with Soul Aslyum's awesome take on "Sexual Healing" and that crazy Carpenters tribute record with Sonic Youth's cover of "Superstar." Chairman of the Board , a collection of alt-rock groups taking on standards made famous by Frank Sinatra, doesn't have any classic cuts like those records [...]
