Hot Track Alert
Leather Towel: Natural Disasters
I've really been stuck on this Leather Towel LP lately. Featuring the singer from Ausmuteants, it actually reminds me of the visceral punk of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, but spiked with a liberal dose of American hardcore. The band's mid-paced punk songs and blistering hardcore songs are, miraculously, equally catchy, but "Natural Disasters," the closing track on the LP, is something really special, with that wacky yet infectious twin guitar lead at the end serving as the cherry on top of the delicious sundae that is the rest of the album.
Fried Egg: Eggshells
It's not easy to choose my favorite track from Fried Egg's new EP, Delirium, but if I had to pick I guess I'll choose "Eggshells," if only because it's longer and, therefore, there's more of it. This is also the slow burner on the record, and I think it always sticks out when a blistering fast hardcore can write a real fist-pumping mid-paced track. Great songs, great performance, great production, great packaging... an absolutely essential EP.
The Pose: Pride
My favorite track on this killer debut 7". The whole thing has a slightly trippy, Zouo-type vibe, but I feel like on this track the Pose get just a little bit freakier, to absolutely brilliant results. I mean, dig that awesome, Rudimentary Peni-esque guitar lead! Limited to only 250 copies, so don't sleep on this one.
