video - (join the) hatewave 7in

TIME TO GET ROWDY cuz TOTAL PUNK RECORDS has a new single out....this time from austin's VIDEO, titled (JOIN THE) HATEWAVE!!!!!!!!!!!

after destroying minds with their debut album LEATHER LEATHER on PLAY PINBALL in 2011 (which i couldn't say enough nice things about) and subsequently terrorizing the nation on tour, VIDEO is back with another snotty punch in the face....and they are anthemic, addicting and nasty as ever.....  it doesn't get any better (or more RnR) than HATEWAVE.....  A THREE MINUTE BLAST OF LOUD UNRULY MEAN PUNK ROCK THAT'LL GET THE KIDS RIOTING INSTANTLY!!!!!!!   and you might not even get to the B SIDE, CAPTIVITY, after you REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT AND REPEAT AGAIN side one of this new single........

bad sports - bras

BAD SPORTS just unleashed their third LP on DIRTNAP RECORDS, entitled BRAS, and this new album might just be their best yet!!!!!!!

after moonlighting in their side project bands, OBN IIIs and VIDEO (both recommended and raved about here), this infectious texas garage punk trio reconvened to up the mother fucking ante, distilling their brand of catchy yet snotty, 70s bent garage punk into one scorching twelve pack of anthems, sure to sit on yer turntable way into the night.......  fans of like-minded bands, MARKED MEN, BEAT BEAT BEAT, CARBONAS, SHOCKED MINDS, BUSY SIGNALS, MEAN JEANS and WHITE WIRES will for sure NEED this high octane cocktail of GLAM, EARLY PUNK, POWER POP and SLOPPY GARAGE ROCK, a mixture only the BAD SPORTS can swirl together with such addicting effect!!!!!!

maybe you missed their s/t lp, or their second album, KINGS OF THE WEEKEND,
but you certainly don't wanna miss out on BRAS......

another highly recommended smash hit from one of my fave texas bands........

LISTEN TO BRAS HERE -
   and pick it up in a store near you.......



watch some BAD SPORTS live -

blackout fest recap - VIDEO

VIDEO is a band you need to know about now...
...comprised of members from various other DENTON TEXAS punk bands such as BAD SPORTS and WAX MUSEUMS, 
   VIDEO makes some of the best dirty 
fun drunken punk rock around......


they throw in a little bit of psych, garage and krautrock in to mix, and in concert, these guys are a full on riot......... 


their full length LEATHER LEATHER 
on PLAY PINBALL RECORDS was one of 
my top records of 2011, i just can't recommend them enough.......


watch their epic set from BLACKOUT FEST below.....
