Halifax, power poppers OUTTACONTROLLER have been the purveyors of fine punked out power-pop for almost 10 years now and their latest LP ‘Sure Thing‘ is another triumph.
It’s pretty straight forward really, OUTTACONTROLLER play old school super hooky power-punk held together with wads of bubblegum that brings to mind all the usual suspects from the 70s like Cheap Trick, the Nerves, and of course…

Borrow some SATOR rock guitars, make them pick up their bus ticket of Impo & the Tents to pop cul-de-sac, stitch some thrift store RED KROSS look-a-like jeans and and ask some music early semesters out-goofing NOBUNNY songs. Here are the Real Tears! Viking helmets filled with tax-free beer from the night ferry, ready to conquer the squats. Thirteen underton-y shivery punk rock pills, twelve songs clocking in below two minutes. This is far away from retro perfection, this is the loud & fast teenage rock failure! They will be the first playing on the backside of the moon right after their Japanese Tour, no bluff! Their 'Douchebag, party now!' credo is remedy for every level of post punk affliction and procrastination known to man. After their self-released winter season album "Too Cool to Rock" their dry season album "Hay Fever" will be big with the raking kids of Finland! It will rain all summer! (SNATCH!097)
Zerodent — Landscapes of Merriment (Alien Snatch!)
ZERODENT - Landscapes of Merriment by ZERODENT
Zerodent, a punk rock outfit out of Perth, Australia, returns with a faster, louder and more fleshed out follow-up to its 2016 debut. The band picked up a new rhythm section in the interim, adding Clinton Bell and Dylan Prosser, which may account for increase in density. The core duo of Predrag Delibasich and Lee Jenkins remain, slashing strings and barking mad poetry, in a thrashing, slamming, stinging continuum between Wire-ish post-punk and Clash-like clangor. Landscapes of Merriment is Zerodent’s best so far, and that’s saying something.
I first caught up with Zerodent during our first Bandcamp.com feature (we’re working on another now), and observed of the Soulmender EP that “the temptation is to compare them to blunt and basic outfits like Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the punch and hook of these three cuts links them back to angry, funny, tuneful British punk like the Buzzcocks and Half Man Half Biscuit.” Landscapes explores rougher territories, still tuneful but more bruising. The recoil from these guitar licks kicks like machine gun butts.
You can get a long way on a riff and some adrenaline in this sort of music, but Zerodent goes beyond that with actual hooks and even, sometimes, melody, though often expressed through the instruments rather than Jenkins spoke-sung, workingman’s rants. The double-timed drumming and ringing guitar chords of “Stay In,” recall the sweat-soaked anthemry of the Marked Men. There’s a song in there, even if it’s hammered to pieces by aggression, and you can hear it in your head when it’s over. “Perpetual Obligation” has the same kind of melodic heft, a tune that gives shape to its rattling, battering assault. Even the super-jacked, close to hard-core “It Was Never Meant to Be,” buries a hook in its juddering onslaught, and good luck trying to get it out once lodged.
This is not to minimize the sheer, onrushing exultation of a punk band on its game, punching out violent tumults of guitar, bass, drums and shouts. Zerodent does that really well. But when you come out, covered with lacerations, spilled beer and anomie, you have a song in your head, too. Score.

FREAK GENES throwing shapes in the Video Premiere for “Negative Shape” (Alien Snatch Records)
FREAK GENES is Andrew Anderson (Hipshakes, Proto Idiot) and Charlie Murphy (Red Cords, Murph & The Gazorpos) and this is one of my favorite projects the two have done. I think Charlie heads over to Manchester from Falmouth, and these two incredibly prolific songwriters bash out hits together for this particular project. This here is a premiere for the first Freak Genes video “Negative Shape” off…
Austin, Texas horror garage punk institution HEX DISPENSERS will be releasing their third LP, aptly titled III, on June 6th, 2015 (the 9th anniversary of the very first Hex Dispensers rehearsal on 06/06/06, by the way). Below is an exclusive streaming track we’re excited to reveal, as well...
