WMUC is one of the oldest independent radio stations on the East coast, as well as one of the very few still broadcasting on an FM band, yadda yadda....point is there's a lot of history in that station and all the cool stuff we got to do and all the awesome folks we met through MINDGRINDER would have been impossible without WMUC.

To be blunt, the hard-headed tech-death-thrash style of RAMMER doesn't really bleed over too much here--which is not a bad thing. Slaughter Strike is well balanced between Death Metal and The Endless Blockade's brand of grindcore (real grindcore) on the demo...they deliver a pretty vicious grind attack with some grimy breakdowns here and there. It's everything you ever could have hoped for from this pair-up.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?o66362bavdfbs8t">Slaughter Strike - Demo</a><br /><br />They just released a record on Cyclopian Records, buy it <a href="http://www.cyclopeanrecords.com/index.php?/store/shop/">herr</a><br /><br />Also thanks to those of you who have still been sticking around since we stopped posting back in July. I'll try to post 2 or 3 things every week if I can manage it from this point on.<br /><br />--fredfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272916060528173000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-8530209780630255082010-08-31T22:32:00.002-04:002010-08-31T22:35:23.518-04:00On The Air NOW til midnight (eastern time)stream online: <a href="http://wmucradio.com/wmuc-high.m3u">http://wmucradio.com/wmuc-high.m3u</a>fredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272916060528173000noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-87219738376920192462010-08-27T15:51:00.004-04:002010-08-27T16:35:14.764-04:00Update - New Radio Schedule<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/THghVPRJ9hI/AAAAAAAABD8/jKZQTljPOCI/s1600/mindgrinder-patty2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 346px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/THghVPRJ9hI/AAAAAAAABD8/jKZQTljPOCI/s400/mindgrinder-patty2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510190792847259154" /></a>Long time no update! It's been a pretty long fruitful summer full of job hunting and moving and now I feel like I finally have the time to get back up to pace with the blog and reboot the radio show for one more year. The schedule for WMUC's upcoming Autumn semester has been posted with MINDGRINDER re-taking Tuesdays at 10PM-12AM, our former timeslot that we held down from Fall 2008-Spring 2009. Unfortunately, Trey is no longer a permanent co-host on the show, but he, along with Hasan from <a href="http://deathbyhanger.blogspot.com">Death By Hanger</a>, is still a member on the blog, so hopefully their contributions will help alleviate some of the downtime in the next year. I'm still shopping around for some more people who might want to contribute to an already established blog, so if you're interested, shoot me an <a href="mailto:fredwhite3@gmail.com">email</a>. Anywho, thanks for the support from those of you that still visit the site and have added us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/MINDGRINDER/275030921672?ref=ts">facebook</a>. We'll be back soon with some tunes.<br /><br />--fredfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272916060528173000noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-9454713071374509752010-07-07T13:30:00.003-04:002010-07-07T13:35:11.005-04:00Mercenary Cockroach - Steps to Nowhere<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/TDS6QTX1juI/AAAAAAAABDs/YyKWKdY9mTQ/s1600/mercenary+cockroach.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/TDS6QTX1juI/AAAAAAAABDs/YyKWKdY9mTQ/s400/mercenary+cockroach.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491218634912403170" /></a>Fast bootyblaster grind from Croatia.

Much like The Screaming Trees (see above Theory) they pretty much toiled outside the mainstream while all their contemporaries went on to make millions, though they certainly had the requisite cult following of any decent band. They had Tommy Tillman of U-Men fame (or lack thereof), and at one point Dan Peters (Mudhoney) though he had long been replaced by Jason Finn when Dayglo came out. It's a solid release by a solid band and although their other releases pale in comparison, 1999's Confusion Au Go Go saw the triumphant return of Peters and another great record which turned out to be their swan song.</div><div><br /></div><div>It wouldn't be here if it didn't carry our recommendation, so checks it out already.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?tzwdjjzdwzo">Love Battery - Dayglo</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Disclaimer: Trey's Theory of Psych/Garage Influence is not in anyway original or even true, probably.

I've already uploaded 4 or 5 tapes from their catalog, but you can get a handful of tapes for around 10 bucks with only 2 or 3 dollars shipping...all quality underground stuff. Plus, they just put out a <a href="http://thrashmouthrecords.bigcartel.com/product/dos-amigos-godstomper-split-tape">GODSTOMPER/Dos Amigos split</a>.

I ripped the record at both 45RPM and 33RPM, as I wasn't sure which was the right speed...but it sounds a hell of a lot more evil at 33.

With two members from Grief, scratchy-throat vocals, grinding guitars, liberal use of samples and an overall lethargic tempo you pretty much know from the first song what you're getting in to, though elements of grind, d-beat, and straight up punk peek through. Fans of Grief certainly won't be disappointed.<br />Final Verdict:<a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zltojg0mwlo"> this is the kind of music I like to get drunk to.</a>Treyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02167141840774556219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-10697788538073609382009-12-20T17:26:00.008-05:002009-12-20T17:41:51.050-05:00Faction Disaster - 3 Minute EP (Tape)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy6mZZCI-9I/AAAAAAAABAY/0vRKVKg_ABI/s1600-h/faction+disaster.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy6mZZCI-9I/AAAAAAAABAY/0vRKVKg_ABI/s400/faction+disaster.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417450356920089554" /></a>power-violence from Michigan; another <a href="http://thrashmouthrecords.bigcartel.com/">thrashmouth</a> release<br />(limited to 25 copies)<br /><br />Tracks:<br />Shut the Fuck Up<br />Outrageous Decisions pt.2<br />Spastic Breakdancing<br />Mouth to Mouth Regurgitation<br />Smoke PCP and Kill Everyone in Sight<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy6m6qiRi9I/AAAAAAAABAg/aXuUFVQzj2U/s1600-h/full+front.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy6m6qiRi9I/AAAAAAAABAg/aXuUFVQzj2U/s400/full+front.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417450928553954258" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/mentalgenocide">myspace</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?my1vd4qmgkm">DOWNLOAD</a><br /><br />(more tapes tomorrow)<br /><br />--fredfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272916060528173000noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-82056252538121301642009-12-20T01:22:00.003-05:002009-12-20T14:01:18.314-05:00Salome playing 'Master Failure' in NY<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qdw_AMaLBuM&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qdw_AMaLBuM&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />RELEASE MORE RECORDSfredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04272916060528173000noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407738618598305013.post-92119739494019668272009-12-19T23:38:00.008-05:002009-12-20T00:00:12.362-05:00Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy2rgm1xC5I/AAAAAAAABAI/szGcQQLcTjw/s1600-h/thorrshammer3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2mHNLTRIAuk/Sy2rgm1xC5I/AAAAAAAABAI/szGcQQLcTjw/s400/thorrshammer3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417174503466797970" /></a>Another '<a href="http://www.southernlord.com/">Southern Lord</a>' treasure -- Those dudes from SUNN O))) team up with a norwegian exchange student to make some crushing doom jams.

I heard their <a href="http://mindgrinder-wmuc.blogspot.com/2008/10/kowloon-walled-city.html">first EP</a> and dug it...but only to the point of half-listening to the first few tracks, agreeing with a riff here and there then veering off to listen to something else. <br /><br />Sentiments of the "ass-heavy", "low-end", and other popular buzzwords (or conjugations, whatever) used by people, including myself, to describe this band barely do justice to express what's special about this band, and more specifically, their new record <i>Gambling on the Richter Scale</i>. If you're familiar with their EP, think of this as the track 'Turning Into Bricks' expanded into eight tracks, heavy riffage and verse-trailing solos included. <br /><br />Using the word "heavy" to describe their music may prove deceiving. The bar has been raised so high in music in terms of technical ability within the past decade that the definition of "heavy" has transformed from the indulgence of a slow complimentary solo to shitty soulless tech-grind breakdowns. It's debasing to say what they've created is simple...less technical songs display a different sort of musical ability than masturbatory solos and string fingering. <br /><br />Compare their music to what Soundgarden was doing before they fizzled out in the mid-nineties. Dark, heavy, depressing kind of shit. The ability to conjure emotion with instrumentals is what defined their heaviness...and this stands as the same case for KWC. Track for track, this record is a slurry of voluminous thick spirited and urban-centric songs rooted by this strong backbone of murky music born by the many grit-toothed noise rock (and grunge) bands that came before them. Although, most of the tracks do embody this sort of slow dark-melodic sort of feel, they do indulge in the kind of heavy-flesh-grinding minimalist sludge comparable to Corrupted. <br /><br />And that's just what makes KWC so attractive...they have this awesome dynamism that sounds great, but doesn't make their records incohesive.
