Here are another six tunes to try and cheer you up a little bit on another dank and dreary Friday in England... First up is Hardly Art's Unnatural Helpers and their raging first single, Hate Your Teachers , from upcoming album Land Grab . River City Tanlines keep the energy levels fizzing with their own garage-punk howl and shred of Stop My Heart taken from the forthcoming release Coast to Coast (out on 31st July). We have Ranch Ghost who play a loose, raw brand of [...]
And like that, half the year is gone. For the doomsdayists, that means less than half a year until it all comes crashing to an end. In light of being prepared, I picked up a new little toy this last week: a beastly, black on black 1979 El Camino. The thing has a 350 V8, gets terrible gas milage but is in great condition. It growls and twists its body when you hit the accelerator. It makes you tingle. One of these days I'm going to create a playlist dedicated to [...]
My round up of the tracks that I haven't had the space to post is a little late this week. Don't worry normal service will resume next week ... Protocol Afro From: Jakarta, Indonesia [...]
Unnatural helpers releases what's probably 20122s official out-of-school summer jam, "Hate Your Teachers." It comes from the band's forthcoming LP on Hardly Art Records, Land Grab . Look for it in September.
Celebrate summer vacation with this modern take on old-school hardcore punk, "Hate Your Teachers", by Seattle four-piece Unnatural Helpers . This hard hitting track is the fifth cut from their upcoming release, Land Grab, which hits stores September 25th via the always reliable Hardly Art label. Download the Unnatural Helpers single, "Hate Your Teachers", [...]
Seattle punk rock firebrands, Unnatural Helpers, have a new track from their forthcoming LP, Land Grab, set to drop 9/25 on Hardly Art. This is Hate Your Teachers. Put it in your earholes. Unnatural Helpers; Hate Your Teachers
This new rocker from Unnatural Helpers goes against my better judgement to post since it's called "Hate Your Teachers", but it still kind of rules. The track appears on a new album by the indie rockers called Land Grab due out September 25th via Hardly Art . While the song may be a jam, please don't hate your teachers kids. We have feelings too.

Hay un monton de razones por las cuales la escena musical en Seattle ha sido sumamente importante e incluso, me atreveria a decir que muchas personas al ver que una banda proviene de esta parte del mundo de inmediato comienzan a pensar que se trata de una banda increible. Digo, ya todos sabemos que este lugar en Estados Unidos fue parte fundamental de la historia musical que se empezo a escribir a principios de los 90s con todo el asunto del grounge, asi como del tipo de hardcore punk que iba emergiendo y en lo personal, me parece que Unnatural [...]

There's also a show at the Paramount with Scissor Sisters and another cool show at Barboza with Terry Malts, Permanent Collection, and [...]
Guantanamo Baywatch 's Chevelle Wiseman was mysteriously strutting around Vitus on Saturday. I've been obsessed with the band since March. Their shows in Austin and soon after at Thee Parkside were perfectly nasty surf slime. Turns out she is on the road with Mean Jeans as the merch gurl. After modeling her spiffy minivan and stuffing her jean jacket with beer, I insisted on a quick tour of Jack London Square. We did a fly-by at Merchant's Saloon and had drinks at Heinold's First and Last Chance . Thankfully she will [...]
Ghostland Observatory will lazerize WaMu this weekend / photo by Christopher Nelson We've got another great week of shows in Seattle, with a ton of variety. This is a city where you can see a good show just about every night of the week, and this one is no exception. Starting on Monday night, we've got some great Northwest connections back in town with former Fleet Fox Josh Tillman's new project, Father John Misty , performing at Neumos. On Tuesday, there's a psych fest at Neumos with Black Moth Super Rainbow, Lumerians, and Pictorials . [...]

Another variety show, no particular theme. It was set to be a sunny weekend, and that meant hitting the road. After a late Friday night at the station, I woke up early, grabbed my bike and went on a solid 10 mile ride. It was the first of the sort for 2012; the first of many. I need to get in shape for the 200 mile Seattle to Portland ride in July. Just about half way, I paused to snap the shot above. The Skagit Valley is known [...]
The Twilight Sad live on KEXP from KEX Hostel during Iceland Airwaves '11 photo by Michael Matynka Another fantastic week of shows ahead with something for just about every taste. Starting Monday, Yukon Blonde and Jon Pontrello are at the Sunset. Tuesday, Cloud Nothings are at the Crocodile, Punch Brothers are at Neptune Theatre, and Crocodiles are at Sunset Tavern. On Wednesday, Slow Club is at the Sunset, and the Love Me Some Townes Van Zandt show is at the Tractor featuring [...]
Breaking up is hard to do. Everyone is doing it. Russell Brand and Katy Perry. A famous professional athlete and a woman millions of other men would like to get to know intimately. Will and Jada. Ike and Tina Turner. Unfortunately for my tender heart, many Seattle bands are breaking up as well. Spurm is not the only one who [...]
I figured with my previous show being devoted to songs that remind me of sleep, this one would be the opposite. After a few bouts of standard indie rock, things got thick and loud. A shout out to my buddy Brett, for tuning in from Sedro-Woolley. Next time I'll have to add Tullycraft to the list in honor of how we met. The show began with a song off one of my desert island top 5 albums, and ended with a track that's nearly thirty years old. [...]

It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest, because it has been unusually cool, and even rained (which almost never happens in the Bay Area during summer). One of the best things about summer is taking trips to the beach. We're blessed with being only a [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest over the past week. But the unusually cooler temperatures, and even rain (which is almost non-existent in California in summer). Nevertheless, the rest of the country is enjoying the summer, and it'll soon be returning to these parts. [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
