The Ex-Optimists – See the Dirt Gang

redchapterjubilee — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:04:02 +0000

College Station’s The Ex-Optimists clear a room like no other band in Texas. But if you’d just stick around, maybe stick your fingers in your ears or something, you’d hear an ingenuous noise-pop band with well-written songs at the heart of all the excessive volume.

White Crime – White Crime

admin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:12:02 +0000

Imagine the dark guitar cruise-pop of Davey Crockett at the hectic coked-out pace of The Cutters…and you pretty much have Houston’s White Crime. These seven songs make punk rock dark again, somewhat dangerous and less about attitude and more about the insane rush of fucked-up rock & roll.

admin — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 18:00:33 +0000

Two sides from College Station’s The Ex-Optimists make for SHTI’s first vinyl release.

Comes with download code for MP3 action plus two bonus tracks. (MP3 download also includes the two previous Ex-Optimists releases!)

The Cutters – The Cutters

admin — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 06:00:15 +0000

Houston’s The Cutters sound like amphetamines and stale beer, all white knuckle truck stop 5 hour energy guzzling hamfisted organ riffs, manic drum avalanches, and a seeing-double singer balling the jack while clawing at the wheel Hammer-handed punk rock with a whiff of nosebuddy and paranoia.

The Tron Sack – Bitsmoker Trilogy

admin — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 18:00:14 +0000

It is difficult to capture The Tron Sack’s colossal towering mass of feedbacking bass riffs, resounding drums, and analog synthesizer atmosphere in mere 1’s and 0’s. Yet they have managed to present 80 minutes of stoner drone metal that is both soothing and unnervingly epic.

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 06:00:18 +0000

Vegenaut can mellow your head and move your feet all at the same time, shuffle-step you beyond the solar system with his electronic dance music, both ethereal and concrete, like neon lights on wet pavement at night.

Stay In Touch – Losing Friends

redchapterjubilee — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:00:15 +0000

Stay In Touch melds soaring emo ultramelodic vocals, post-metal palm-mute riffing and a workmanesque rhythm section into a taut metal-inspired punk rock that makes Losing Friends not just a unique release for the Brazos Valley but pretty unique in the current punk rock scene.

redchapterjubilee — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:00:45 +0000

Houston’s Davey Crockett cranks out 1960’s Pacific Coast Highway rock, a kind of top-down sunny music but with a paranoid vocal up top and Southern Gothic overtones that hasn’t quite shaken off the dirt from the grave.
