Much thanx to JM at tiny grooves, who allowed SEX TIDE to bust him up pretty bad! Bloodied, he opines: "...their debut platter is chock full of scuzzed out mutant guitars strangling each other, blown out riffs exploding over the trashy menacing rhythms, all of it teetering on the edge of completely falling apart into a wall of feedback and madness.....just like all those long forgotten heros of the underbelly of rock... so exactly the kinda noisy, garage punk that will always find a home on my turntable, even when most think it just belongs in the gutter..... fans of deliquent noisy RnR from OBNOX, UNHOLY TWO, COUNTER INTUITS, PAMPERS, GINO & THE GOONS, TRUE SONS OF THUNDER and other like minded bands, NEED TO CHECK OUT SEX TIDE NOW......" A full accounting is here.

If I said “female-fronted Cheater Slicks” to you, what would you do? Buy this record? This new-ish Ohio trio doesn’t have the vocabulary of the Slicks, but that was something learned and earned over the years, through turns and burns and occasional yearns. Sex Tide at least cuts up on the...

hey! i saw you are playing at the house of some friends of mine in columbus next month! i talked to some of you guys in eugene, or where i live now. tell meg from vvk meagan says hiiiiii and shit yeah sex tide is really good like damn wat a good show wish i was going to be back in ohio

SEX TIDE is such a good band omfg cant wait to pick up their LP i have not heard it yet but i have great demos. The first time we played in Columbus we played with them and Daniele and I were standing at the front of the stage with our arms out like almost crying/disrupting the show we were so psyched on them. I’m pretty sure we were screaming something like “IS YOUR BAND EVEN REAL” and “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON” over and over and everyone was a little weirded out, it’s like we were compliment-heckling them

Anyway, we will pass along this message — that Eugene firehouse show was one of my favs

This is just the kind of irrational exuberance we expected the SEX TIDE record to cause. PRIESTS know! PRIESTS are super 666 - catch their fever at Sister Polygon Records.

YOU’VE GOT THE RUNAROUND -Dynamite Hemorrhage’s Best of 2013

I made an online mixtape over at 8tracks of 28 of my favorite things that came out in 2013. If you’ve listened at all to the podcast we put together every couple of weeks, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard many of these righteous tunes, but you might wish to hear them again, right?

I think it’s fair to say that it was a “good year” for music, as years go. This mix is ample proof.

Sex Tide- FLASH FUCK (A WICKED COMPANY) Don’t think that I don’t know what the word on the street is, oh yeah I know, “Hinely’s gotten soft.” I know you’re all sayin’ it. Oh sure, I’d rather listen to The Field Mice than the God Bullies these days and who can blame me (my ears took quite a...

Dirty dancing: SEX TIDE "Laudanum"

(directed by Kellie Morgan)

[dynamitehemorrhage]

SEX TIDE, live in New York City this past weekend. Now you know why we like ‘em so much around here.

[awickedcompany]

[dynamitehemorrhage]

The awesome SEX TIDE from Columbus, OH - whose new record I can’t stop playing repeatedly, and at top volume. All 20-something jarring, dissonant, swampy minutes of it.

[awickedcompany]

It seems Jay has succumbed to the wanton seduction of SEX TIDE. YOU ARE NEXT.

Maybe you were offline last Friday. Maybe you just weren’t checking your Tumblr. It’s for you that I provide a re-post of Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #23 podcast here:

I’m doing my best to crank out an hour of music for Dynamite Hemorrhage’s several dozen listeners every two weeks, and mission accomplished this time, with DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO #23 coming out just about two weeks to the day from the last one I recorded in Norway (!). This one was able to shoehorn 24 songs in a mere 1 hour, 2 minutes - that’s a lot of short, aggressive songs. As promised “on the air”, I’ll try and mellow out a bit next time.  This one showcases some new stuff from SEX TIDE, RUBY PINS, THE AR-KAICS and FOSTER CARE, along with recent stuff from Pampers and Danny and the Darleans…..then there’s some good olde-tyme rocknroll from The Vidiots, Green on Red, Supercharger, Expando Brain, Liimanarina and yes, The Fuckin’ Flyin’ A-Heads! Feel free to download it, stream it, and consume it however you see fit - and while you’re at it, how about trying some of the other 22 hour-long episodes as well? (scroll down - they’re all there).

I just got hipped to the brand-new howler from Columbus, OH’s SEX TIDE, and I’m pretty goddamned impressed. Their debut LP with the pleasant and very safe for work title “Flash Fuck” just came out, like, last week. The drummer and singer’s name is Aurelie. Whoa. My first listen and a half through this thing unearths many markers of quality – the shambolic fuzz-command of The Scientists; the thudding 60s riffs of Pussy Galore; and a general loose-limbed aesthetic that comes either from lack of sleep, lack of practice or a studied improvisational nonchalance. I’m all over it. Maybe you will be too – check out “Laudanum” from the new LP here.

[awickedcompany]

Some solid action from Dynamite Hemorrhage. Thank you Jay!

[awickedcompany]

Oh yea, our tumblr.  We've neglected you long enough over here. But we've not been idle. No, A Wicked Company ushered a record by SEX TIDE into the world and damn we're proud!

We tell it like this: "✮SEX TIDE✮ is three, a trinity of carnal miners cavorting barefoot throughout our turd of a solar system. Their crudely deformed bison bop leaves ears singed the color of frozen meat. ♥Aurelie Celine♥ beats the toms mercilessly, conjuring corroded surf curls from henchmen ♥Chad Bad♥ and ♥Chris Corbin♥ as if “Have Love, Will Travel” was being tugged from the run out grooves of your very last seduction. But a word of caution: handle with care and don’t drop your guard! ✮SEX TIDE✮ cast their spells broadly, as broad as a big haunted boat. Although Aurelie’s yowl can never be mistaken for a careless whisper, the eight tunes on ✰Flash Fuck✰ ricochet from untamed midnight howls like "Never Get To You" and "Oh Ah Ha" to wonky roller riff coozies “Laudanum” and “Dead To You,” the latter short circuiting electricity in our office at the 53 second mark every goddamn time. It all collapses with the sloggy slow jam closer “Gone,” on which Chad and Chris vie for the ultimate grieving chord."

It's here for $12

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth

Assorted characters of death and blight

Mixed ready to begin the morning right,

Like the ingredients of a witches’ broth

A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,

And...
