THE TRADITIONAL FOOLS

"In 2008, the trio -- Ty Segall, David Fox, and Andrew Luttrell -- bashed out a series of trashy surf punk songs, four of which are just over one minute long. ... Their intention was to create a rock'n'roll party album (from "Party at My House": "Parents comin' home,/ Won't you get the fuck out?"), and with that mission in their sights, they recorded 12 earworm-laden tracks that wouldn't sound out of place at a deranged Frankie and Annette beach party. There's a sped up version of Billy Childish's Thee Headcoats song "Davey Crockett" and a fuzzed out version of Redd Kross' "Kill Someone You Hate". With speed, volume, great riffs, and a sloppy delivery, they breathe punk rock life into surf." --Pitchfork

BLEEDING RAINBOW

Nevermind the constant threat of a cease and desist letter, when Carrie Brownstein tells you that your band name is weak, you change it. But it isn't as simple as a name change for Philadelphia's minimal noise pop duo Reading Rainbow, significant line up additions facilitated the adoption of a new moniker. So...drum roll please...as we reintroduce Philadelphia's Bleeding Rainbow, now a full-blown, Brownstein-approved, rock quartet. The name better represents the band's evolving sound and is all around more badass and trippy as sh*t. The founding members, Sarah Everton, who moved from drums to bass to give her vocals a better chance to shine, and vocalist/guitarist Rob Garcia are now joined by Al Creedon on lead guitar and drummer Greg Frantz.

While 2010's album release Prism Eyes gained significant attention and raised the band's profile among the indie elite, even that set might not be aware of the previous self-released album Mystical Participation. If Prism Eyes is, by their own description, their attempt at writing pop songs, and Mystical Participation emphasizes an aesthetic of loud and drone-y guitars instead of focused song structure, Yeah Right, the band's third album release set for October 9th, 2012 on Kanine Records, is the merging and maturation of all these ideas and sounds.

For Yeah Right, the band has opted for a bi-polar approach to production, pushing the extremes of murky, ominous and sometimes harsh and fuzzed-out guitar onslaughts ("Pink Ruff") as well as a strong repertoire of hushed, ethereal moments ("Cover the Sky") aiming to evoke a nostalgia for 90s slacker culture without sounding bored or contrived. While previous releases reside in the reverb-soaked psychedelic pop realm, Bleeding Rainbow says, "the sound this time around was more directly influenced by bands from our teenage-hood such as Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Yo La Tengo to name a few."

Generation Loss

Punk rock, featuring Hannah Lew of Grass Widow.

"Generation Loss is a sharply written album recorded by Segall Band/Fuzz guitar hero Charles Mootheart. It has the sort of fuzzy shredding that recalls recent releases from California X and Milk Music. On "Turnaround", Generation Loss sweeten things with a pop melody, though they throw in some erratic guitar sounds for good measure. They get motorik on "Hostage" and open "Paralysis" with a killer guitar solo. An impressive debut that stays diverse and captivating." --Pitchfork

Life Stinks

"Life Stinks, for all their damage, boneheadisms, and hopelessness, write ridiculously great songs. From angry slow-burns to aggressive haters to VU-worship workouts, the band can back up whatever fucking schtick you wanna lay on them because they're great. ... Best record of 2013 by a huge margin." --Maximum Rock n Roll
