white wires - wwiii

seems like there's never enough time to listen to all the good music that comes out.....every day there's a new lp, single or music video from old favorites to young upstart new bands all vying for my attention.....and in this musical overload, sometimes good albums get overlooked.....  this was the case with the new WHITE WIRES lp WWIII out late last summer on DIRTNAP RECORDS......  if you've been reading tiny grooves for any amount of time, you know the white wires' power popped garage punk is some of the catchiest and most addicting rock n roll being played either side of the us/canadian border......so it's more than a shame that it took me so very long to post on the new album....

these ottawa kids just won't slow down or back down, and their third lp is chock full of more sugary sweet punk anthems to sing along to at the top of yer lungs.......   taking their cues from bouncy punks heroes such as the undertones, adverts, ramones and the jam as well as the classic power poppers like the shoes, the records, the knack, the speedies and the romantics, white wires craft garage punk equivalent to cocaine for yer ears.......try not to pogo around while listening to this new album......

highly recommended, just like everything else the white wires have released........

and super suggested for those infatuated with the mean jeans, steve adamyk band, bad sports, needles//pins, mind spiders, barreracudas, games, carbonas and jay reatard.......
ie, anyone who needs their punk over caffeinated, melodic and fun......

LISTEN TO WWIII BELOW.....

white wires - crazy crazy 7 inch

WHITE WIRES are back with a brand new single out later this summer on TOTAL PUNK RECORDS.....  very recommended as they play some of the best bubblegum garage punk out there...... a third full length is due out this fall on DIRTNAP RECORDS, but at least this 7 inch will tide us over until then......  fans of garage punkers like SONIC AVENUES, NOBUNNY, JAY REATARD, STEVE ADAMYK and THE USELESS EATERS need to check out WHITE WIRES now..........  love 'em......

LISTEN TO THE A SIDE 
OF THEIR NEW SINGLE, CRAZY CRAZY BELOW.....

AND HERE'S THEIR VIDEO FOR LET'S GO TO THE BEACH...

guantanamo baywatch - chest crawl

GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH are one of the newest additions to the DIRTNAP records roster.... and man, nobody brings the demented psychedelic weird pop vibe to surf music like they do.....  sort of in the same camp as THEE CORMANS with their hybrid of blown out surf/garage music, GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH ups the ante by smashing some good ol rock n roll into the mix... as well as adding some punk attitude and volume..... this is mutant pop for the ADD kids who want to fucking party at the beach......

one of the most interesting lps i've come across this year, and that's despite the kitschy art and silly band name.... which after you listen to their new lp CHEST CRAWL, you can't hold against them......

so check out GUANTANAMO BAYWATCH's BOOMERENGA off the new lp below and buy their new lp CHEST CRAWL in may.......  



watch them live below.....

sonic avenues - television youth

who doesn't need more catchy lo-fi punk from another excellent Montreal punk band?  and another awesome release from DIRTNAP records?

SONIC AVENUES have just released their new lp TELEVISION YOUTH and it's filled with exactly the kind of garage/power pop influenced punk jams that i love......  they're totally recommended for fans of WHITE WIRES, JAY REATARD and STEVE ADAMYK BAND...... i've had their new album on repeat for the past three hours........ so good......

listen below to two killer tracks of TELEVISION YOUTH...and go buy the record from DIRTNAP or yr local record shop........

mean jeans - on mars

holy shit MEAN JEANS are back with another album of drunken scuzzy punk rock jams that'll make you wanna party all night long........  the new lp ON MARS is due out April 17th via DIRTNAP RECORDS...

i haven't had this much fun listening to a punk album since the queers and screeching weasel turned my little teenage brain inside out......   

since their last lp, ARE YOU SERIOUS?, dropped way back in 2009, their follow up has been seriously anticipated at tiny grooves... but i can definitely say it's been well worth the wait....


fans of the white wires, nobunny, the spits, hex dispensers, marked men, bad sports and jay reatard should automatically buy this record.....    

can't share too much of ON MARS, otherwise the powers that be will get pissed and blow this blog off the internet......... however grab a couple of tracks off the new lp below........   

READY TO RIP

HANGIN TUFF

mind spiders - meltdown

MIND SPIDERS are back with another frantic garage pop / punk rock LP of super infectious catchy tunes for us all to sink our teeth into.  entitled MELTDOWN, this album is sure to make best of the year.....i already can't stop listening to it......


fans of the MARKED MEN, HIGH TENSION WIRES, RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS, CARBONAS, WHITE WIRES and JAY REATARD will love their new lp......and if you've ever bought a record from DIRTNAP, DOUCHEMASTER, GONER or IN THE RED, you too should just blindly go out and buy the new MIND SPIDERS lp.........  best release of february 2012, hands down......

STEVE ADAMYK BAND - forever won't wait

who doesn't need to some punk rock every now again....?  and catchy, rowdy punk at that? STEVE ADAMYK BAND is here to meet that little need for some LOUD rock we need to get through the week....

....even though they have a band name that'll fool yer dad into thinking you've found some lost 70s blues rock group he could be into, this is all scuzzy lo-fi punk rock......  and since you probably won't put a patch on yr backpack or jacket now anyway, you can't let a silly name keep you from such a good rock n roll lp.......

the steve adamyk band play ramones, adverts influenced punk rock with a heavy dose of power pop bounce... the kind of punk rock i can never get enough of.....if only the warped tour hadn't given punk a bad name, all the kids would be singing along to songs by bands like these guys.....   

after a string of european singles, P TRASH released their s/t lp last year....... and now dirtnap records was kind enough to release their second album, FOREVER WON'T WAIT, for the world to enjoy this week........  and if yr a fan of BRIEFS, WHITE WIRES, NEW BOMB TURKS, MARKED MEN or RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS...this is an LP YOU NEED TO OWN NOW..........

revolver writes.....

**THE STEVE ADAMYK BAND are a bunch of obnoxious, rowdy, "kids" from Ottawa, Ontario. While the name would automatically draw comparison to a blues, jazz or rock band given the layout, make no mistake; the Steve Adamyk Band are a punk band. The SAB play trash-pop inspired by seventies punk, the skinny tie bands of the eighties, and nineties garage rock. From the ashes of MILLION DOLLAR MARXISTS (Gearhead Records) and SEDATIVES (Deranged Records), the group was born out of necessity-a whack load of orphan songs with no band to call home. Frustrated playing in bands that would eventually call it quits, Adamyk formed a band that could have an endless timeline, even if the name is outside of the standard band name zone. Releasing two European singles before their first live performance, the SAB would go on to unload 4 seven inch singles and an LP in 2010. The self-titled LP in question sold out its initial pressing in three months and received rave reviews. The following year, the SAB toured Europe, performed at SXSW and recorded their sophomore LP Forever Won't Wait. More touring and releases are currently in the works for 2012, as it doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
