 Eat Skull
"With trace remains of the old Ohio band Hole Class (which featured Beth from Times New Viking, and Rob from The Hospitals), Eat Skull proffer up some of the most wretchedly hidden pop formulations, layered under thick scuzz and buzzing with overdriven organ tonality.Just as their brethren Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit intertwine obnoxious anti-melodies over secret pop songs to great effect, Eat Skull take their guttural complications and make even more sense than any of their counterparts, using more brute force and less room for indie-comparisons. Although the brain-melting sleeve artwork seems right at home in the mid 90s Siltbreeze back catalog, this is unmistakably the blasting raw sound of today. Eat Skull is a shining example of a band beating out unmistakably modern punk with unpredictable turns and off-key vocals, going fully against the grain of the definition of "pop music" yet helping redefine the concept in the process." - Victim of Time

 Ganglians
We're at war with technology from 2002!!! We fight for a more user friendly future! We're wizards, wizards, WIZARDS! Work up a sweat perplexing! If possible listen with headphones, backwards, in backwoods. Bring a buddy in case of emergency situation. Make loud noises to keep the bears away. Kill your buddy and eat him if you start to get hungry. Face the great white beast, and be born again a Christian. And then do it all over again, cause all life is really is one big loop.

 Finest Dearest
The San Francisco five-piece delivers a moody crunch amid various modes of catharsis. Carly Schneider’s bittersweet vocals bring out the bygone era even more, alternately recalling Sleater-Kinney and Tiger Trap. That’s not to say Finest Dearest isn’t satisfying in its own right; the group gets plenty of variety from its storminess.” — SF Weekly
“The new album features many of the much-loved classic Finest Dearest elements like stepping-stone melodies and powerful guitars, but with a few more “mature” (if you will) elements. The songs experiment with changing tempos, atmospheric backup vocals and more complex rhythms. For newcomers, the general sound is reminiscent of all your favorite 90s indie pop bands.” -The Bay Bridged

 Yellow Fever
"Jennifer Moore is absinthian, surreal, and slurring through Yellow Fever's 2007 EP, Cats and Rats (Hugpatch). The Austin fourpiece delicately slices through pop history, taking hints from girl groups and grunge. Moore's voice intoxicated on Voxtrot sneak peek "Sway," but with YellowFever, her back-and-forth with Isabel Martin surfaces." - Austin Chronicle

Bad Touch
Mean punk blues in the form of a guitar and drums duo, sounding somewhere around Chuck Biscuits and John Christ saying "fuck Danzig" and instead, jamming some Hendrix Band of Gypsies on Black Flag's beaten equipment. |

 Sir Lord Von Raven
"Rock and roll played by a Brazilian ant colony who ingested 2 tons of coffee, 2 tons of imported spaghetti, dos mil enchiladas, five chinese aligators, gasoline and tequila cocktails, and kiddie pops."
We'd tell you who's in the band but you'd only hold it against us.

 Slowfinger
Slowfinger was conceived in the back seat of a 68 G.T.O. while rocking out to Thin Lizzy and The Stooges.

 Coup de Grace
"The concept of dumbing rock down to the bare essentials has been a time-honored approach for countless bands, from ham-fisted metallic pioneers Blue Cheer through latter-day garage disciples such as Mudhoney. Local boys Coup de Grace ably take up the fuzzed-out, meathead-rawk gauntlet." - SF Weekly
