Ovlov - 2013 - AM

Ovlov is an indie rock band from Newtown, Connecticut, USA. AM is their debut LP. They play a noisy brand of shoegaze rock drawing influences from Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine. The vocals are melodic, whiny and mixed low while the guitars rage underneath layers of distortion. The production serves to bury each song underneath a layer of mud from which distorted guitars and pounding drums escape. Each song starts at full speed and increases from there. The songs do blur together a little bit but that also works to create a more cohesive album. Highlights include The Well, Nü Pünk and Milk.  If you like your indie rock with buried under layers of distortion Ovlov's AM will serve well.

The singer has an excellent scream that he puts to very good use. Highlights include Skeletons, I'm Trying and Feeling It Out. If you like your screamo with a little post-hardcore and even some ambient Roanoke's Beautiful People will serve well.

Gris - 2013 - À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée...

Gris is a black metal band from Quebec, Canada. À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée... is their second LP. They play melodic, atmospheric, depressive black metal. Instead of pummeling you over and over in the face with aggressive misanthropy, Gris creates a dark, gloomy orchestral sound scape and sucks you into their dark reality.



There are still aggressive raggers like Les Forges but even it is tampered with some melody. The singer has an excellent scream which he uses with great effect. If you're down for some gloomy atmosphere and a hint of melody in your black metal, Gris' À L'âme Enflammée, L'äme Constellée... will serve well.

Culture Abuse are a five piece punk rock band from Santa Rosa & San Francisco. The Day Dreams Of Nothing is their debut EP. Culture Abuse features members of Defeater, All Teeth, Strike To Survive, and Dead To Me and plays an off kilter brand of hardcore punk. These songs are obviously rooted in hardcore punk but they come out wonky and fuzzy, drenched in fuzz, beer and weed owing a debt to the Melvins. I want to call it mysterious guy hardcore but that's lazy and derivative which this album isn't. If you like your hardcore with some strangeness to it, Culture Abuse's The Day Dreams Of Nothing serves well.

Direct Hit! is a four piece pop punk band from Milwaukee, USA. Brainless God is their new LP. They have put out splits with bands like Mixtapes, Tit Patrol, Jetty Boys, Hold Tights, the Haverchucks and Braver. They have studied at the feet of Andrew W.K., The Ramones and The Thermals, throwing all that into a blender and never letting their feet off the gas pedal. Now would be the part where I would list highlights but damn near every song on here is really good. If you like energetic, speedy pop punk that hasn't completely forgotten their hardcore roots, Direct Hit!'s Brainless God will serve well.

Casket - 2013 - Casket

Casket is a four piece emo band from San Francisco, California, USA. Casket is their debut EP. There's no twinkle here, just straight ahead punk rock with a plaintive singer. Highly recommended.

American Sharks - 2013 - American Sharks

American Sharks are a three piece punk rock band from Austin, Texas, America. American Sharks is their debut album. They are currently on tour with Clutch and The Sword. American Sharks play a garage infused brand of punk rock that takes tongue in cheek punk and runs it through modern filters of bands like Torche and The Demonics.



 If The Ramones smoked more dope and had kids with The Stooges that listened to Leatherface, those kids would sound something like this. The album is a little front loaded but all these songs are solid jams and this album is over far too quickly.  Highlights include Iron Lungs!, Freak Out, Overdrive, Cocaine, 11:11
