Bandcamp Blitz - April 12th, 2019

The Bandcamp Blitz is about to wreak havoc in your headphones.. I mentioned the vast amount of music coming out so far, and it has not slowed down. So far, the year is eating me alive with new albums.
I'm happy to report that everything is going smoothly with the current irons in the fire. Nerve Salad is moving forward ever so slowly... ever so slightly. We've been hard at work, peeking into other universes and feeling up the planetoids.They feel really neat, by the way. All smooth and hopeful.
It's freaking cold outside again. I hate it. I was hoping to be baking in the sun by now.
Anyway, keep up the good work. You got this. Don't forget to eat your veggies. Call your grandma.



Earthward - By The Pound
https://earthward.bandcamp.com/album/by-the-pound
(Fine hard rock with a few curled upper lips, broken skate decks, headsets, cold brews, and Bic lighters. Some classy jams from Massachusetts, reminding you that your current lack of flatulence might be the cause of not drinking shitty beer.)



We've Got Muscles - Phonotron
https://weve-got-muscles.bandcamp.com/album/phonotron
(Wow. This is the kind of post rock that makes all other post rock bands sound like lily-livered nambie-pambies. The noise rock is strong with this one. I typically am afraid of most post rock bands, as many of you can be. Fear not, friends. This rules. They've got muscles, indeed.)




Yellow Hammer - Resist The Cure
https://yellowhammer1.bandcamp.com/album/resist-the-cure
(Another fine collection of tunes from Norway's Yellow Hammer. Touches of atypical, wispy "mountain folk", gently packed into little silver cans, and sealed with the wind, to be opened, at leisure, any time the world begins to implode, which is all the time... )





Eliot Wilder - My Heart Is A Cathedral
https://eliotwilder.bandcamp.com/album/my-heart-is-a-cathedral
(I don't know what I've stumbled on, but this might be the most prolific songwriter I've ever seen. Not much info around, but if this is the product of a person named Eliot Wilder, then I'm pretty sure that this Eliot Wilder cat might be the busiest songwriter out there. REALLY good alt-country, hip hop, alt-rock, indie, noise, folk, funk.. and a bunch of other genres. Beyond astounded... This guys has more music out there than just about anybody I've come across by simple stumbling.)








SugarTape - Over Me (single)
https://sugartape.bandcamp.com/track/over-me
(Fine track! Every new tune just gets better and better. SugarTape are onto something,for sure. Anxious to see what happens next. Might be something special for them in the very near future. Excellent classic rock from these young dudes. Keep your eyes and ears peeled. I've got plans for these dudes.)





Clouds Taste Satanic - Evil Eye
https://cloudstastesatanic.bandcamp.com/album/evil-eye
(The latest chapter in this band's luxurious and spine-tingling catalog of soundtracks to darkness and evil. The purchase of this band's albums is the BIGGEST no-brainer ever. Instrumental doom, played within a certain distance from fields, that will serve as the wake-up call for plagues of biting insects and rats..)




Beastwars - IV
https://beastwars.bandcamp.com/album/iv
(Ummm... fuck yeah? New Beastwars? This is beyond awesome. Sounds like they came back stronger than ever, thanks to the little sneak peak we get into the madness. You just can't keep such a savage beast down.)





Lucy In Blue - In Flight
https://lucyinblue.bandcamp.com/album/in-flight
(Keyboard-Heavy, King Floydian Nektar Heep retro prog from the Land Of Fire & Ice. Pleasing to the ears. This latest addition to their series of opuses contains enough atmospheric '70s feelies to get you through your year. The Moon Dog and the March Hare knew they were here way before they were here. This is a stunner.) 





M. Lockwood Porter - Communion In The Ashes
https://mlockwoodporter.bandcamp.com/album/communion-in-the-ashes
(A tasty little Americana/alt-country album. Highly recommended if you like things like Tom Petty, Wilco, Jayhawks, etc. Really classy. Has had many spins over here at NSC, and has yet to wear out its ebullient welcome.)
