The Quiet Americans, Six Track E.P. Medicine.

Feb 20, 10:37am MOJOPHENIA
The Quiet Americans, Six Track E.P. Medicine. "Fresno, California band The Quiet Americans was formed in 2010 by songwriter Luke Giffen and drummer Eli Reyes. The Quiet Americans combine bright melodies and animal like drums with fuzzed out guitar squall. Sort of like Link Wray meets Dinosaur jr. filtered through an echo chamber. The six song EP Medicine is their first release and is out on local cassette collective Coattrack Records . The recording of Medicine was a family affair, Eli is married to Luke's sister, and Luke's little brother Ross contributed moog synth to the record. The entire record was tracked to an [...]

The Quiet Americans Take Their Medicine

The Quiet Americans: Fuzzy Melodic

Feb 7, 11:11am A New Band A Day!
The Quiet Americans: Fuzzy Melodic As if to demonstrate how ANBAD is nowhere near as wildly varied as it likes to think it is, here's another rumbling, grit-pop song with buzzy chord changes and punchy chorusus, less than 24 hours after the last one . Of course, this is solely the fault of my sloppy scheduling, and has no bearing at all on The Quiet Americans ' strikingly fuzzy oeuvre. Be Alone could have been stymied by its own ambition to be crunch-rock, but rails admirably against the [...]

Album Review: The Quiet Americans – Medicine

Jan 11, 8:00am Consequence Of Sound
We first wrote about Fresno quartet The Quiet Americans to cover their single "Weird Mountain" , whose cacophonous din is amplified by the band's signature lo-fi recording equipment. Their Tascam 8-track gives them personality and, for the most part, diversity-with the notable exception of the drums, which beat almost the same on every track-within their six-song debut EP, Medicine , while maintaining a coherent sonic ethos. Medicine stands out as contemporary noise rock, but on future releases, The Quiet Americans might benefit from increased production value, if for nothing else than to allow them [...]

Top 10 mp3s of the Week (1/6)

Jan 6, 2:27pm Consequence Of Sound
Top 10 mp3s of the Week (1/6) According to the Chinese Zodiac calendar, 2012 is the year of the dragon - the only creature on the zodiac wheel that isn't even real. What does that mean? Will 2012 be filled with music grounded in fantasy and imagination? Or will it breathe fire and destroy tiny villages? Man, I don't know - but this week's picks are hot. Bronson spits over Phil Collins, there's just a demo of The xx and of course it's really good, and there's a great new band called Conveyer who knows how to write one hell of of a song. Best foot [...]

Check Out: The Quiet Americans – "Weird Medicine"

Jan 4, 2:57pm Consequence Of Sound
Check Out: The Quiet Americans – "Weird Medicine" California no-fi howlers The Quiet Americans are anything but. Brash and gritty, they sound straight out of a tucked-away crate in Amoeba's Staff Picks section from the 1980's. This is likely due to the fact that the band recorded last year's debut EP, Medicine , on a Tascam eight-track recorder, whose "wobbly uncertainty" warps the band's raw delivery. On "Weird Mountain", Medicine 's closing track, vocalist and songwriter Luke Giffen's harmonies thrash like '60s noise rock purveyors The Sonics and Link Wray. Stream the track below, and then head over to The Quiet American's Bandcamp [...]

Song, by Toad – Festive Fifty 2011 31-50

Song, by Toad – Festive Fifty 2011 31-50 Here's the first installment of the Song, by Toad Festive Fifty for 2011 - a collection of the fifty songs I have been enjoying the most this year. The fifty themselves and the precise order can hardly be described as definitive of course, because you know how fluid things like 'favourite' songs can be, but roughly speaking this is the stuff I have been enjoying the most in 2011. Just as a note, in order to make it a broader representation of the bands I've liked the most, I have made it harder and harder for bands to [...]

Song, by Toad's Albums of the Year 2011: 11-20 Right, all the amateurs have had a go, and we've seen disturbing amounts of Bon Iver and PJ Harvey on lists from Bradford to Boston this year, but it's time for those of us who really know what's good and what isn't to step up and set the record straight. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the definitive list of what's been good this year, so you can all stop pretending to care what Drowned in Sound or Pitchfork think, and find out what you should really be thinking about music. That's all bollocks of [...]

Toadcast #202 – The Saxcast

Nov 29, 2011, 1:13pm Song, by Toad
Toadcast #202 – The Saxcast First things first, I must inevitably apologise for the horrendous lateness of this podcast. Between my mum visiting, the gig on Sunday and the Samantha Crain Toad Session we recorded on Monday there just hasn't been enough time to catch up. It's that end of year time, too, when lists are being made, accounts submitted, the last releases of the year tended to and plans for next year being finalised, so just when I thought that I could coast into Christmas, it turns out I actually have just as much work now as at any other time of [...]

Quiet Americans – Medicine

Nov 24, 2011, 8:20am Song, by Toad
Quiet Americans – Medicine Awesome: fun, pacy, hummable and with a good fucking sense of crash and rattle to it. Yes, more lo-fi garage rock, but you know what, as much of a cliche as it has become on these pages I still fucking love this stuff. The Quiet Americans are not overly rough or too distorted though and, despite the fuzz, there is a real lightness to this music which just made it instantly accessible for me. I remember my last real fad, similar to my current one for lo-fi stuff, and it was probably that sort of mental gypsy/carnival folk [...]

Toadcast #201 – The Cakecast

Nov 19, 2011, 11:21am Song, by Toad
Toadcast #201 – The Cakecast Cakecast? Yes, the Cakecast, because I turn thirty-six today, and in the absence of a real cake and in honour of the fact that I have a gig tonight at the Wee Red and will hence be working, I decided that at least a picture of some cake was in order. I don't worry about age particularly, but I have to confess that thirty-six sounds suspiciously more like 'nearly forty' than it does like 'thirty-something'. Curse you time and your unrelentingly linear nature! Anyhow, as I said, tonight we have Gummy Stumps , Weird Era [...]
