pg.99 - document 8

if you know anything about screamo you know the name pg.99, if not, get fucking ready. one of the most insane bands in their time who threw a fucking brick through the window of what was thought to be acceptable and normal. over a span of 12 releases, most of which are splits with amazing bands like city of caterpillar, majority rule, and circle takes the square, pagenintynine made a name for themselves and made what i feel real music should be like, from the heart and with everything you have. many looked at them as fools when they started doing theme house shows where if you wear a costume you get in for free or even had two drummers for a tour, but they thought "who cares" it wasnt about impressing anyone or fitting into any sort of standard, pg.99 was on a level all its own and i fucking love them for it. this is document 8, my favorite release by them and my most current and new favorite records i own (thankyou nevin at ifb!), every song fucking owns so hard. everytime i heard "In Love With An Apparition" i just want to clap along. trust me, you'll see.

Matt & Kim - selftitled

I saw this band at fest last year while waiting for "this bike is a pipe bomb" to follow them but i am glad i waited. The boyfriend/girlfriend duo consists of Matt on keys and vocals and Kim on drums with happy and upbeat tunes that always seem to put a smile on my face.

Coachwhips - Hands on the Controls

I've said it before, anything with John Dwyer i pretty much love. Coachwhips is a 3 peice noise/punk group from San Francisco with Dwyer on guitar/vocals. This band just puts a smile on my face, nothing like inaudible lyrics and repetitive noise rock to cheer up your day. The songs "the ride" and "wite lies" are my favorite for sure.

Boredoms - 77 Boadrum (retail 2008)

I know this is early but as soon as i heard this i had to share it. If you know anything about noise you know about Boredoms (or V∞redoms). Yamantaka Eye is what you could call their frontman and founder. After years playing with Hanatarash, one of the most insane bands ever. Eye would offen throw sheets of glass on stage with no regard for the crowd or his own safty, at one show he strapped a circular saw to his back (cutting his leg) and later drove a fork lift through the back of the stage nearly destroying the building. (check out some photos from it!) After a few years Hanatarash was banned from most venus in Japan and Eye would decide to forum a new band in the dust of what was Hanatarash, the Boredoms. On July 7, 2007, Boredoms performed a concert entitled 77 Boadrum in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City with 77 drummers playing one song lasting 77 minutes on 7/7/07. If that isnt bad ass enough they did it the next year on 8/8/08 with 88 drummers! I have heard a few different bootleg recordings from th 77 boadrums show but nothing compares to this retail release. its alot to take in at once but once you begin to understand what Boredoms is about you can respect it for what it is, a masterpeice. I just hope i can make it to 9/9/09!
