DOPE BODY are a primordial, psych-addled noise rock beast from Baltimore! Born in 2008 out of the dance-friendly confines of the city’s Wham City scene, this unclassifiable, heavy group ventured out into the night to find more like-minds, and came back boasting a spasm of styles and directions. Evolving from blasting three-piece to blistering four-piece, Dope Body enjoy writing their own songs, touring endlessly and pummeling basement parties with a gleeful, wide-eyed fanaticism that the more reasonable among us might mistake for insanity (it ain’t entirely so). Dope Body writhe under their own experiments, swinging from gutterish sludge-punk to snake charmer-on-fire within the confines of a single tune. Rather than comparing their ferocity to other contender, just know that Dope Body is punk spelled upside-down and standing on its hands. 2012 saw their stunning album 'Natural History' come out on Drag City. Now, two years later, the Baltimore quartet have returned with new album ‘Lifer’, which sees Dope Body taking a departure from their past releases. Their raw, off-kilter virility still makes for a ferocious record. Yet gone are the frenetic guitar melodies, being replaced with full-frontal riffing that dynamically ebbs and flows. ‘Lifer’ is the elder statesman of Dope Body's output thus far, calling for greater structure and direction without losing any of its rough intensity. If anything, they have revved up their raucous energy, with the heavy moments being relentlessly driving, a weighty Cadillac hurtling forward across a fractured tarmac. There is greater focus on progression, building the songs into the bludgeoning thrash they inevitably become.

WALKER / MELCHIOR is a collaboration between two largely prolific artists, Dan Melchior (Dan Melchior und Das Menace, Lloyd Pack) and Russell Walker (The Pheromoans, Bomber Jackets, Lloyd Pack). The duo’s sound occupies the groggy morning hours that bleed into the bright sun, as heard on their recent 7” for Kill Shaman. ‘Sad Son In-Law’ unfolds with a juxtaposing mix of buzzing sounds and glowing synths, progressively detailed by a string of jewel-toned guitar quests. Snaps, pops and perhaps even a harmonica begin to emerge in the sun-filled loop, guiding Walker’s sung-spoken-word vocals with a wonky bass line. ‘I Could Sit Here Forever’ comes off damaged and broken with unpredictable guitar noodling and beams of synth, before blossoming into something exceptionally gospel-like and inside one’s head. A debut album is expected soon!

BLACK FUNGUS have released a tape on Milk Records and already have another set of recordings in the works. This three piece feature members of Witching Waves and Gloss Rejection, who work up an impressive mix of hook laden song craft and discordant imbalance. Elements abound of the DIY American noise rock hay day combined with Gordons-esque post-punk.

LOWER SLAUGHTER are a four piece rock band from Brighton, featuring past/present members of King Of Cats and Shudder Pulps who churn out big riff righteous heaviness through volume, drawing comparisons to Pissed Jeans, Karp & Harvey Milk.
