For a preview of what world ending shenanigans are coming at this week's end, look no further than tonight's Empty Bottle show with Lasers and Fast and Shit . Their music, as their name implies, is fast and shit. Their tunes are quick and aggressive takes, which is clearly founded in punk rock but have some serious hard rock grit to them. It's like a dancing club on wheels careening off the side of the cliff - dance while you can but soon shit's gonna be blowing up. Their latest EP, Second: Cat Fight [...]

Shaper Pulsating with a certain ramshackle vibrancy, Leeds based Shaper’s winding post-punkish pop hits upon some intriguingly great moments interspersed with some head-scratching ones in its disorienting 5 minutes of sparkling guitars, galloping drums, horribly cheap keyboards and spirited teenage belting, coming together for some Wu Lyf recalling artsy bros chants only to disassemble again for proggily off-kilter interludes. Shaper - Teenage Days

The hood Internet When they’re not busy photoshopping tacos into classic album covers , Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell are busy infusing hip-hop jams with indie pop and rock tunes. Chicago duo The Hood Internet is back with Trillwave 2 , which is now available for stream or download via Soundcloud . The 25-track album finds musical connections between artists such as Das Racist and Cults, Raekwon & Ghostface Killah and Destroyer, as well as M.I.A. and Sufjan Stevens. The end result [...]

The cacophony of Chicago comes flailing through the wave of sounds brought by SHAPERS . Blatantly noisy and anything but noisome, Shapers concoct some of the most harmoniously melodic almost-drone that I've heard. The psychedelia of ever-present synthesizers is songs like "Milkbug" keep you from quite calling it shoegaze, while the marauding syncopated beats in tracks like "Hot Gravy Available" keep you on your toes. Shapers debut album, Little Big , is (to understate) hypnotic - the kind of background music that swallows the room you're in before you realize you've been consumed by [...]

Chicago krautrockers Shapers are keeping busy. They just finished one of those swell Daytrotter sessions , they're currently on a tour with Tobacco and will hit Chicago's Lincoln Hall tomorrow and they've released a brand new music video. The video is for the track, "Jar," from their latest LP, last year's Little, Big , and is pretty out there to say the least. You've got the band all in masks playing some crazy instruments, and scenes from a, um, weird and twister looking party. But honestly I wouldn't expect anything [...]

If you were looking for a soundtrack to Snowmageddon 2011, look no further than Chicago krautrockers Shapers .

Finally, there’s a jam worthy of turning up the heat, stripping down to short shorts and frightening that howling wind with your finest dance moves . And for those who need a Shapers fix, the band [...]

Today, things get hot and heavy as contributor Ross Meyerson reveals his list for Top 10 Albums of 2010. 10. In Tall Buildings - [...]
