"Detroit’s Tvyek are revered DIY lifers, still flying the lo-fi flag nearly 20 years into their existence, laying it all on the line via cheaply recorded two-minute punk blasts informed by the Ramones, The Fall, Television Personalities, etc, but shot through their distinctive Midwest Michigan worldview. Overground is Tyvek’s first album in six years and is a welcome return — 11 bleaty jams flecked with skronky sax, frontman Kevin Boyer’s free association (but thoughtful) lyrics and more musical finesse than the hissy recordings may suggest.” - Brooklyn Vegan
Spiral Dub is an assemblage of players from LIFE STINKS, MANE, DIIV and FUCKWOLF. Theirs is a laced party jive, spat in the spiritual tradition of massive-sound Mancunian legends, peppered with acid punk nihilism and with bright beams of pop shining through the clouds. Vocalist Chad Kawamura’s poetics are a thing of pure and vile beauty. The band’s pile-on triple guitar approach is hypnotic, bursting with smarts and legitimately groovy. As past-it provocateurs and a force both live and on record, Spiral Dub are at once a necessary antidote and stark affirmation of San Francisco’s current DIY Rock’N’Roll landscape, a scene where despite all appearances, no one ever actually wins.
utros is an off quilter punk band from SF. We draw inspirations from an handful of different wells like noise/drone, free jazz, rock’n’roll, and pop. It's a distinctly eclectic makeup of weirdness and groove.
