Galaga: The Movie - s/t

Yesterday this blog turned 3 years old. For my first post, I chose to share Galaga: The Movie, one of my favorite bands and good friends of mine. So years later, it seems more than appropriate to share their new album on it's day of release. 

Behold, 2 of the greatest fuck-ups who've ever lived. Their insane stage antics and violent freak-outs have frightened most every audience they've ever played for, and they're probably banned from every single venue in the Humboldt and Solano County areas. Their music, which sways from grind to surfish riffs and back to grind, also has a certain whimsy to it:

Surfing the rain soaked clouds / down to your house / to sit perched on a tree / waiting patiently

Galaga is currently looking to book dates for a US tour sometime this year.

Favorite tracks: Stumptown, Shit Wave.

Fake Asian Rolex - 74K34514NR013X

Digging through my list of "Submissions I Was too Lazy to Post," I found Fake Asian Rolex, a French grind'n'roll band I had somehow manged to ignore on all forms of social media. It's too bad, because the band is a lot of fun, they just have a name that sets off all spam red-flags.

Image Every Time I Die with high pitched vocals and 90's powerviolence influence.

Orphan Donor - Empty

If I hadn't of been so lazy/preoccupied in 2013, this would've probably made my Best of list. Sick techgrind featuring the drummer from Secret Cutter.

You can download all of Orphan Donor's tunes free via Bandcamp.

Favorite tracks: You Can Buy Perfect, Letting the Vampire Kill You.

The Colour Line - Riff City EP

Sifting through the last.fm for new bands, I stumbled upon yet another sick UK tech metal act, The Colour Line. Fans of The Dillinger Escape Plan should probably enjoy this, and much to my delight, the bands holds many similarities with another favorite UK techgrind band from the days of Myspace, Nervaxis.

Every Time I Die - From Parts Unknown

...because, why not?

I don't think this band is capable of releasing a bad album.

Save Us From The Archon - Thereafter

A long overdue post, Save Us From The Archon dropped their 2nd full-length back in April. FFO: CHON, Polyphia, guitar-wizardry.

CHON - Audiotree Live Set

CHON, possibly my favorite underground band of the last few years, recently did a live set over @ Audiotree. The band's sound has certainly evolved since their demos, achieving new levels of focus with their song writing, and adopting a more "chill" vibe. Embedded above is the playlist in it's entirety.
