Serena Maneesh "SM Backwards"

No Music today, but some cool news. I just got word from the Serena Maneesh people that their new album "SM Backwards" which compiles their two previous import only releases for a US a release, will be in stores sometime this fall. Originally, they had reported that the record would be out in early May. However, early May came and went with no release. After looking around the net I found that no one had any info, so I decided to email them myself. Below is their response:

hey bo thanks for writing.. well it has just been postponed. just took a little more time to get it ready.. so release is set for early fall. just over the summer. will let you know.

So there you have it! Lets hope it sticks this time! I love these guys and can't wait to hear the new (old) material.

UPDATE: According to their official site, it looks like the release date is September 1st.

i found a suckadelic cd in the bargain bin today for $2 and the fact that he used cartoon villains for the vocals intrigued me. i figured, ive bought shit for $2 that im never going to listen to again so i might as well give this one a shot too. turns out, it is insane. the beats are good, the tracks are funky, and the cartoon samples are killer. i couldnt find free mp3's other than the samples on his website but i suggest checking those out and maybe even ordering something. if suckadelic wants to throw a free mp3 our way to tempt the listeners, even cooler. otherwise i guess its just a few free clips. the nerd in me totally approves.

The Colour Revolt are quite interesting. Their press kit bio tells me nothing except that maybe they like dogs. But that doesn't matter when you rock this hard and this smart. There is one thing in the press kit that gets it correct: "there’s a lot of guitars in Colour Revolt. But they’re not dumb guitars." Not that we have anything against dumb guitars. One could argue that the Ramones are "dumb guitars" but you better not say that around me if you value the look of your face. Colour Revolt has a fresh aggressiveness, but an educated sense of atmosphere. It all works together to form one tasty sammy......yum...sandwiches....

shocking pinks, "i want u back"

i want u back

i was originally drawn to this one because of the bands name. for those of you who dont know, the shocking pinks were neil youngs band in his rockabilly phase and the accompanying album, "everybody's rockin" (which was basically put out to piss off the record company). this is totally nothing like that. lo-fi, noisy and short.
