Castrovalva

It's nearly 5 o'clock, I've got another page to add to this fucking Shakespeare paper due in class later today at 2pm and I'm sitting here about to spend 30 minutes on a post why?

Castrovalva (UK) is a band I've been putting off for a good long while for no good reason besides from me being a lazy inactive asshole piece of shit. Point is, I finally sat down and listened all the way through their s/t mini album and am sitting here kind of dumbfounded that I, like a jackass, let this band slip by and sit on my hard drive without notice for like 3 fucking months. This band hemorrhages pure energy with the kind of determination only matched by bands like Lightning Bolt and Godstomper. Of course, I make these comparisons because they're fast as fuck and primarily a drums-n-bass kinda band.

...Alright, I'm going to use this really trite formula to describe this band: cram Sabot, GODSTOMPER, Lightning Bolt, and a tiny of MiTB into a blender, crank it up to bludgeon and you've got Castrovalva.

Castrovalva - S/T Mini Album

They're putting out a single with their new line-up titled "Thug Life"...preorder that here.

...and now it IS 5am. Fuuuuuuuck.

PORN (The Men of) & Merzbow

If you aren't familiar with the Men of Porn yet, check out this earlier post.

This record is a "collaboration" between PORN and Japanese Lord of cacophony, Merzbow. There's not a whole lot I can honestly say about this album...if you're a fan of PORN, it's a new album release (hooray)! If you're a fan of Merzbow, you'll dig it without a doubt.

Sincere Moment:
Don't download this expecting to reap some fresh PORN material. My take on the record is that Merzbow borrowed the masters for "Wine, Women, and Song" and did his own thing with it...but it's still an interesting listen, don't let me dissuade you. Check it out:

Shit and Shine

What an ambiguous fucking band. Shit and Shine is a Texas/London based band (which I gather means some members are from America/Texas and others from London, and the band is based in London), releases albums full of bizarre noise, drone, and tape tracks, all backed with hypnotizing percussion lines. The band performs with 6 or so drummers and a few others on guitar, but I can't pin down WHO is actually in the band. Anyway, here are three releases, take them as you will:

Cigarette Sequence
Kuss Mich, Meine Liebe
Ladybird -- My Favorite
