Daughn Gibson, 8.1;
“Daughn Gibson’s previous band, the Pennsylvania stoner-metal trio Pearls and Brass, evoked the cigarette-smoke drag of a Harley Davidson ripping through the desert and blasting out classic rock riffs. A strong look, but there’s an element of dress-up to that kind of rock’n’roll posturing. In reality, Gibson was driving trucks, among other things, and while his new solo guise might reflect more honesty or depth, it’s no less rugged or brave.
All Hell finds Gibson digging through crates of country music past and turning up a wealth of noirish, creepy source material to sample. On “In the Beginning”, a dusty piano trapped in its own motion repeats as Gibson croons over the top. It’s a simple blueprint but one from which Gibson teases surprise as the song unfolds— from an electronic whoosh to a single-note female chorus. Those elements lull you further into Gibson’s strange dreamworld but at the same time hold you firmly on the precipice of a rude awakening. (….)
All Hell is a subtly clever record that pits one type of music that strongly evokes one era— here, country music— against another, namely this decade’s sample-heavy culture. Gibson does a lot of questioning within that framework, both seriously and tongue-in-cheek. All of that makes for a rewarding record to think about, and to intellectualize, but All Hell wouldn’t be nearly so fun to listen to if it weren’t for Gibson’s ear for melody. His thick baritone breezes confidently over the songs, lassoing hook after hook, redeeming his burnt-out characters through song. As he knowingly sings at one point: “If I lose you I might/ Write a song about some rain on a highway.”” (FULL REVIEW HERE, IF YOU’RE INTO THAT KIND OF THING)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
From Raven Sings the Blues:
Dull Knife picks up the second album from post-punk doomsayers Balaclavas. The Texas crew hovers perpetually in the darkest corners, slinking with knives and shades equally drawn. The band has an aptitude for weaving insistent rhythms, twisting with sickness, with a nail scratched doom-punk that bef…its titles like “Shit Meridian.” The second time around the tape spool hasn’t left the boys any less intense. Snake People gnaws on bad vibes like raw wire, spits blood and shrugs it off like just another day. Their fist record always felt like it should come from a place more barren than Houston and the second installment takes no detours in that respect. This is the soundtrack to Flint, MI or Gary, IN; the kind of places where the sun only occasionally shines through the smoke to bake you to a miserable crisp. This is the sound of pavement stretching to chain link for miles. Still no matter where they’re from and what’s channeled into it, the band have found a way to record the gnash of teeth well.
DOPE BODY (Drag City records) have been added to the QUINTRON + MISS PUSSYCAT show on 4/27!!

Wez Traylor rocks! One day he ate pot brownies and called Zack and called Seth like 3 times telling them he wanted to start a band. Seth said cool but only if they toured and recorded all the time so that’s what they’re doing now.
They have songs about eating drugs and white people and various other subjects.
December 2012 is not the end of the world but is in fact when Keith Richards is gonna tell the world that the Rolling Stones are stepping down and Natural Child is the new best band in the world.
