Hello there!
Thank you to everyone for
coming out recently to our sold out shows for R Stevie Moore, Future
Islands and The Space Lady. What a trip this last month’s worth of shows
have been! Our next concert falls a week tomorrow for the effortlessly
awesome CHAIN AND THE GANG, supported by COMET GAIN and ACTUAL CRIMES
at Tufnell Park Dome. I’ll send you a reminder about that next week,
but right now I wanted to draw your attention to our two new Upset The
Rhythm releases that came out this week. Fans of no wave clatter and
minimal punk swoon will find much cheer with our two new releases by NO BABIES and ED SCHRADER’S MUSIC BEAT hitting the shops and our webstore!
Below we have some info on
each release and the option to stream them too! There’s also new
additions to our upcoming shows list for BRENDAN FOWLER (BARR), ASHLEY PAUL, ALEX CAMERON, JACK OBLIVIAN, STRAIGHT ARROWS and an album release party for THE PHEROMOANS, joined with loads of great bands in June!
OK, onto the new records...
\\\\\ ED SCHRADER’S MUSIC BEAT /////
\\\\\ Party Jail (CD/LP/Download) /////
Ed Schrader's Music Beat
are Ed Schrader and Devlin Rice, a minimalist punk duo from the fair
city of Baltimore, Maryland. In the beginning there was only Ed: a man
unhinged, channelling to the world a sacred message in the form of song.
His only divining instruments: a single floor tom, one light, and a
commanding baritone. “He’s a master songsmith who has reduced pop and
punk to their most basic building blocks,” said Christopher Weingarten
of the Village Voice. Ed was soon joined by Devlin on bass, who proved
to be an acute match for encapsulating the space-time from whence they
came.
‘Party Jail’ picks up where previous album ‘Jazz Mind’ left off, adding a thoughtfully crafted, minimal pop vibe to their already terse punk sound. The follow-up features songs that are equally loud and destructive, pensive and strangely haunting. An early version of "Radio Eyes" was chosen for the "Sub Pop 1000" Record Store Day 2013 compilation. A new version of this song appears on ‘Party Jail’, as well as the upcoming single "Pantomime Jack" which, among other subjects, ponders existing in a universe that culturally charts music that began and ended with the “Live Aid” generation through its self important pontifications and documentaries. “Music begins now!” says Ed. The album also features additional drums by Jeremy Hyman of Ponytail, Dan Deacon, and Boredoms. ESMB are currently on tour in Europe with Future Islands.

\\\\\ NO BABIES /////
\\\\\ Yo No Soy Como Tú (7” EP/Download) /////
No Babies
are a free-punk five piece from Oakland, California. Since forming in
2008, they've worked tirelessly to develop a unique 'new punk' sound
influenced by jazz, art music and hardcore, not unlike Old Skull playing
Schoenberg, while Magma heckles from the audience. In 2011, Upset The
Rhythm released their debut self-titled album to rabid acclaim, they
have since followed that up with a number of tours and singles released
through Isolated Now Waves, Gilgongo and Folktale.
Now the band return with
their "Yo No Soy Como Tú" EP, featuring new members and new
instrumentation, but with the same joyous and chaotic intensity that has
long been the band's signature. This new five song record for Upset The
Rhythm (and Gilgongo in the US) rapidly shifts between catchy melodies
and jarring atonality, creating a sound that is simultaneously chaotic
and controlled. Happy and angry, beautiful and abrasive.
Thanks for reading and as
always listening! We’d also like to take this opportunity to wish
Kathleen Hanna a swift recovery, more news on The Julie Ruin’s postponed
show soon I hope.
Have a brilliant weekend!
