The Happy Hollows: Death To Vivek Kemp

-
LA rock trio, The Happy Hollows, released their new album, Spells, in late January. “Death To Vivek Kemp” is enjoyably catchy and appropriately scuffed by indie rock guitar, marrying an Alterna-femme howl with post-hardcore change-ups. Nice bass rhythm, too.





Upcoming Tour Dates:
2/18 Los Angeles, CA - The Smell
3/3 Washington, DC - Black Cat
3/4 Philadelphia, PA - The North Star
3/12 Los Angeles, CA - The Troubadour
3/13 Phoenix, AZ - Trunk Space
3/17 - 3/20 Austin, TX - SXSW

Sincerely,
Letters From A Tapehead

Behind on the  2020 Playlist , but I hope that doesn't discourage anyone from checking out some newest inclusions. _________________________________________ t ētēma : "Wait Till Mornin'" (via Speakeasy PR / Ipecac Recordings / YouTube) Album Preorder https://blixtmerchandise.shop/ipecac-music-store It's rare that a Mike Patton project is going to evade my curiosity as I've been a fan of his myriad projects since Faith No More 's Angel Dust and Mr. Bungle 's s/t debut remade my impressionable teenage brain.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings.
