Dirtnap Records has announced tomorrow's release of a three song EP of loud, chaotic pop from Seattle's Little Cuts . The band features Dave Hernandez of Scared of Chaka and (more recently and famously) the Shins . Dirtnap had the following to say about the release " A-side is a slow building pop jam that would not have sounded too out of place in Broadcast Oblivion's (Dave's underrated post-Scared Of Chaka pre-Shins band) set, backed with 2 garage stompers on the B-side. Expect more from this [...]

It is becoming increasingly difficult to not describe a band of early 20-somethings in terms of the homage they're paying to some other band. For the most part I'm not entirely put off by it, but I will say the continuing trend towards, maybe unconscious, imitation grates on me a bit. Something Fierce latches their [...]

In 2011, Dirtnap is an anomaly: the first local indie-rock band to use keyboards and an oft-referred to foursome that scenesters could possibly lump together with some of the founding fathers of... Continue reading "Dirtnap's Pete LaPorte has a new perspective for an old band" >
In the past I've expressed fears that the cyclical nature of music is slowly bringing us back towards the woe-begone days of power punk and ska. What I have never mentioned though is the idea that even though the cycle might whip is back in to the mess, the context for which the "mess" exists [...]

The first salvo from the Mind Spiders came with last year's World's Destroyed 73. It was packed with four great songs and no one was sure if this was a one off thing for Mark Ryan of the Marked Men or not. Turns out that there's a lot more where that came from because Ryan in his Mind Spiders persona has just let loose a full album. It's got the swagger of T-Rex , the rabble-rousing of Jay Retard and a certain sleek, moody psychedlia reminiscent of Love [...]
