Listen/purchase: Boys by The Dicktations the new King Pizza compilation features a brand spankin new Dicktations track for your listening pleasures!

i didn’t know who put the names to all the colors that i’ve worn upon my skin and what becomes of all the others when they don’t get worn again that’s how it’s supposed to be that’s how it’s supposed to be

we didn’t know the swinging fists and the theatrics the burning lighters built into cars all were hollowed—sweet virginia all were issued their own stars is that all it had to be? is that all it had to be?

i know— when you were a kid when you were a kid and you did what you did i know— when you were a kid when you were a kid and you did what you did

Listen to: Wisdom Teeth by Dicktations

i could tell you everything that's been hanging round my mind. but that would ruin the surprise so i won't worry, besides: you'll understand. i will go out the way that i was born without a tooth in my mouth. because i won't need them any more, not for eating or for telling pretty lies. and you can say anything. anything that your heart needs to hear slip your breath, or leave your lips—anything that you gotta leave here. don't be careful. let's not get used to it.

I'm really excited that If There Is Hell Below featured H*CKHOUND as one of their favorite albums of the year. I made this album two summer's ago as a way of coping with the loss of a really dear friend of mine the summer prior—of feeling frustrated and alienated by the way we think about death and the body, and by my inability to express any of my sadness. It's been a really long process, but the record is finally coming out on tape through King Pizza Records this Saturday. 2014 has been the strangest in a long run of strange years, and i've been struck these past few days by how it's coming, strangely still, to a neat conclusion. All the loose ends of the past few years feel like they are falling spontaneously into order, and the release of this tape is no exception. We're playing a release show at Don Pedro this Saturday, for all y'all NYC folk who might be interested in coming. You can also pre-order the tape here.

If you're interested, I hope you take a listen. It would mean so much to me.

Meet Dicktations - Cîroc and Roll

Man Dicktations make a lot of noise! But listen closely; they also have quite an ear for melody. This is super-fuzzed out garage punk a la Black Lips, with the hooky stylings of Pavement. Think Weezer played full blast on blown out speakers.

Dicktations have their first full length record H*CKHOUND, coming out on tape via King Pizza Records on December 13th, but you can check them out below with their brand new video.

Our craziest gig ever was….

This show at the Penn Haven Co Op with the Dolts. Everyone just made out a lot, with each other. We made out. The Dolts made out with each other. We made out with the Dolts. Randos with randos. Then we went to McDonalds

If you could pick any time to travel back to for music, where would you go and what year would it be….
