LEWD DEWDZ - UPCOMING 7" SNEAK PREVIEW


 Shameless self promotion I suppose, but in January I did a REVIEW of Lewd Dewdz "Tape". About two months ago I started playing bass in the band and now we are a 5 piece and the sound is HUGE! Recently we just finished recording 4 songs for an upcoming split 7" with local ragers BEARDAGE that should be out in the next couple months! For your listening pleasure I have posted two tracks from the LEWD DEWDZ side, entitled "Floating Brain" and "Fuck You, I'm Drinking". ENJOY!

KDC-...good mourning

KDC give hope to modern day hardcore. It's not because they are Puerto Ricans, its because they are that fucking good! They bring something different to a scene of expected breakdowns and over emphasized gang vocals.  Recorded in Yauco, Puerto Rico and now out of print; "...good mourning" is an excellent package in 7 songs of pure honesty and aggression.  You can tell what this record meant to these guys and can feel the emotions play out, so take a listen!

CLOUD RAT - CLOUD RAT LP


It's been a dog's age since I posted to this blip caught up in 'the wave' that all you internet surfers are currently riding, maybe I will start posting more, who knows. Nothing has caught my eye in a while, but this was a must. I got added to a show last minute yesterday and ended up opening for these Mount Pleasant, Michigan bangers.

Cloud Rat is a three piece comprising of vocals, guitar and drums. I dont really have anything else to say other than they bring energy and fun to the show, but wow this band is heavy as fuck. Melodic riffs, grinding blast beats, atmospheric doom...this band keeps it really fucking interesting. Dont sleep on this shit!

Blood Ceremony - Living With The Ancients


Blood Ceremony releases it's second effort and moves towards a much doomier sound as opposed to the classic, heavy prog. feel that was included in the groups self-titled release. If you enjoyed the first record as much as I did, this will be a nice follow up.

Old Mayor - Old Mayor EP


Brighton, UK's Old Mayor formed in 2005.  A two piece sludge act that instantly caught my attention on the first listen.  Songs on this EP go from an eerie, creepy ambiance to an almost hellish sounding sludge metal with piercing screams and heavy, distorted guitars.  Old Mayor does a great job keeping it simple but allowing each song to be its own and interesting.  The riffs are menacing and the drum fills are thunderous. I dont know too much else about these guys but I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the future, as should you.

HOAX - Demo 2010


Hoax are a band that recently formed in western Massachusetts that display the uglier, darker side of hardcore that I love most. It's direct, it's mean and it gives you nothing pretty or sincere in return for the straight-forward blend of music they deliver to the listener.  I just recently stumbled across this band from a post on a blog I frequent called I Could Die Tomorrow.  "Living On The Brink of Suicide," the final track on this demo, is  a song I can relate to during this cold, bleak winter that just doesn't seem to end here in western New York.  I highly recommend this record to the person that has been looking for a break but gets the door to the face. I recommend this to those who's nights drag on longer than the days without any salvation. Stick in there and take a listen, people can relate.

Lewd Dewdz - Tape


Coming off the press as fresh as a double order of chicken wings (suicidal w/ extra blue cheese!) comes Lewd Dewdz, soon to be a Buffalo, NY favorite in the underground punk scene. These six songs were just recently recorded to 8 track with the help of Eric Foster (Trystero, Robot Has Werewolf Hand) at The Funeral Home; an old funeral home (who woulda thought?) converted venue/punk house!  Maxing out at a little under ten minutes, Lewd Dewdz "Tape" flows very nicely! Vocalist Ben Barbour delivers witty angst in his straight forward vocal approach. Aaron Adkins lays down the "sic" riffage and leads while Joey Simmen (bass) and John Anderson (drums) hold down the rhythm section quite well!  This is an enjoyable tape to sit around, get fucked and plan a world domination to! Any parties looking to book Lewd Dewdz, send them love or hate mail here: lewddewdz@yahoo.com
