Why? - By Torpedo or Crohn’s
Why?’s record Alopecia seems to be a staple on my iPod; something I throw on when I don’t know what else to listen to. The penultimate track to the album is the downtrodden, defeated “By Torpedo or Chron’s.” Yoni Wolf is uncompromisingly personal, and the song benefits greatly from that. It’s not self-pitying ever, just observant.
Cheap Girls - Ruby
Cheap Girls’ new record Giant Orange is out today on Rise Records! I’m a huge fan of this band; I love their grungy, fuzzy sound. It’s like if Dinosaur Jr. drank as much as they smoked weed. Their new record rules too, so definitely check it out. They’ll be playing in New Haven on March 8th with the Sidekicks, New Years Revolution, and Dagwood so check that out too!
Forming - Hate My Gutz
Forming’s self-titled 7” (out on Vitriol Records) is one of my favorite 7”s in recent memory. In fact, every night this summer I would listen to this song before I went out to a party or something. Why? You tell me. Bearing that in mind, as my 21st birthday approaches, I feel it only appropriate that I revisit my fuzzy anthem. Oh and the best part is you can download this record for free right here!
The Weakerthans - Confessions Of A Futon-Revolutionist
I’m only beginning to delve into The Weakerthans’ discography, but hearing this gem off of Fallow really cemented the fact that everyday I like this band a bit more. “Confessions of A Futon-Revolutionist” is a really cute, if not slightly self-deprecating, song that talks about cats, drinking, and the impending class war.
