Sean Wars is the name, Spirit Animals his musical moniker… chases plenty of tasty amp banshees and illuminated canker through his labyrinth of daisy chained hardware... every track is a joy to soak up... spins out like a hex of mouth falling blisters... an enquiry of curious statics on firework ripped hearts as slurs of accordion and skeleton ethnicity weasel their way towards ever new mutations... what's more the dvd extra captures every detail in glowing colour and skipping apparition... Fuck 2012 is well worth your attention and a steal at only a fiver [...]

Our video-blogger friends at Bands In The Backyard are big supporters of Philadelphia music, even when they're in Austin. For its inaugural (and unofficial) SXSW showcase—which was presented by WXPN and The Key—BITBY put a half dozen Delaware Valley artists on a backyard stage (more like a back porch) in a quiet neighborhood just outside of Austin's bustling downtown. The vibe was tremendously positive, from next-door neighbors extending warm welcomes early in the day, to Key favorite Attia Taylor performing her first-ever solo electronic set (which was mesmerizing). South Jersey rockers The Warhawks even [...]

Spirit Animal Spirit Animal has released the video for "Crocodile Skins" from their album, Spiritia Animalia . Watch the video in this post.

"I'm looking for something that'll… break through. You know?" James Woods' Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg's 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today's day and age, we've already drowned in media. It's swallowed us. We're nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you're losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that's moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone… left behind… abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that's more like it. -Michael Roffman [...]

Três caras estão fugindo da prisão, atravessando uma floresta e passando frio, quando do nada encontram um pajé muito louco que, além de dopá-los de um jeito bem estranho, resolve lhes enfiar "goela abaixo" uma mistura nada apetitosa. O resultado é que além de chapados, eles começam a tocar muito bem guitarra, baixo e bateria, enquanto o pajé/vocalista continua seu ritual maluco entre as labaredas de uma fogueira e pinturas com tinta neon. Esse é o clipe maluco e engraçado que o Spirit Animal fez para Crocodile Skins , faixa de seu debut [...]

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics , some 2.7 million adults were incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons at year-end 2010 (that's .7% of the whole population, FYI). New York psych-rock band Spirit Animal have found a likely solution to the prison system's overcrowding in their music video for "Crocodile Skins". In the clip, frontman Steve Cooper plays a snow-breathing mutant Shaman who encounters the rest of the band, cast as escaped fugitives, and proceeds to incapacitate them with aforementioned snow breath. His solution to effective rehabilitation involves some neon paint, guitar solos, and a [...]

A year and a half after he escaped from Los Angeles, Steve Cooper and Spirit Animal are finishing up a follow-up album to 20102s "The Cost of Living." Thankfully, the testosterone-charged electro-funk outfit seems to have decided against the title "Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Spirit Animal," instead settling on "Spiritia Animalia." Whatever its taxonomic rank, Spirit Animal's marriage of funky beats and Cooper's soaring croon is sure to leave sweat on your brow, and the band's penchant for wry, subversive humor makes their music valued-added. ||| Download: "Crocodile Skins" [...]

Spirit Animal plays the Black Cat backstage on February, 27th. "After moving away from DC in 2003, the act of returning to visit became a guaranteed great time. Re-frequenting the Black Cat, Saint Ex, The Big Hunt, and the other bars where my friends still worked was something I looked forward to every single time." "One of these kind souls who I loved to go see shows with was Ana Marin, now a chef at Bibiana (w00t!) and a long-time area bartender. She told me we HAD to go see [...]
