FLAT WORMS

Filled with anxiety and angst, Flat Worm's summon perseverance in an apocalyptic era, passing through decrepit strip malls and surreal headlines. These songs were recorded by Ty Segall in his home, and is now being offered on his label, God? Records.

"This is sheer balls-to-the-wall pummeling garage punk that is sure to blow the lint from your belly button as soon as the first wails of feedback make their presence known.” - Post-Trash

BLUES LAWYER

There’s a muted romanticism buried under the caustic veneer of a Blues Lawyer song. The Oakland four-piece, comprised of Elyse Schrock (The World), Rob I. Miller (Mall Walk), Nic Russo (Dick Stusso), and Alejandra Alcala (Preening), began as almost comedic side-project to house some of Miller’s more off-kilter compositions. Now the band have become a staple of Bay Area lineups, appearing alongside bands like Sheer Mag, Gun Outfit, and Omni. Blues Lawyer’s brand of minimalist punk could fit equally well on Flying Nun’s catalog of wiry lo-fi, or amongst the understated slacker-pop of Courtney Barnett’s Milk! Records.
