Apache
"The '70s gave birth to rock genres like glam, power pop and punk - with which Apache is clearly acquainted. Rather than merely mimicking the sounds of the past, this band has truly embraced what was brilliant and fascinating about that era of music and fueled it with new energy and the wisdom of knowing when something was done right the first time around." - SF Chronicle, 96 Hours

Curse of the Birthmark
"The sort of dark, aggressive “industrial rock” I used to envision in the early/mid 80s whenever I’d read about TEST DEPT. or EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN or whatever, whom invariably let me down. C.O.T.B. did not let me down; on the contrary, this EP is full of frothing, electronics-filled no wave guitar, some absolutely thumping drumming, and enough bleeding ear tones to keep you in the isolation chamber for hours afterward." - Detailed Twang

Nothing People
"These guys are sci fi as in Chrome, Von Lmo, and Simply Saucer." - Z-Gun

"From the sci-fi, psych, proto punk bombast of the first, the Nothing People shift gears into a moodier, darker, and creepier existence. Here you get the influence of Dream Syndicate’s Karl Precoda and the later fucked up work of Scott Walker." - Midheaven.com

Moon Duo
San Francisco’s Moon Duo was formed in 2009 by Sanae Yamada and Erik Johnson (Wooden Shjips). Inspired initially by the legendary duo of John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Moon Duo counts such variant groups as Silver Apples, Royal Trux, Moolah, Suicide, andCluster as touchstones. Utilizing primarily guitar, keyboards, percussion and vocals, the duo plays space against form to create a primordial and disorienting sonic stew. The group released two acclaimed records in 2009: the debut 12″ single, Love on the Sea, on Sick Thirst, and the Killing Time EP on Sacred Bones. Their follow-up long-player, Escape, on Woodsist, marks the fullest realization yet of the young group’s evolving sound. (bio)
