Album Review: Master Manipulator by Native Daughters

Big, huge, massive sounds, made more enormous by their adherence to perfect rhythm. The best double drum kit sound ever. Get your metal on! Our favorite song: Sleep Lump(reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Full Length Album by The Flora Ways

Uncomplicated, joyful, well-written, badly-produced songs that make you want to jump around. We can’t wait to hear more from this band. Our favorite song: Fruit Punch (and Cowboy’s Getting Laid Tonight. And the one about Memory) (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Deaf Dogs by Bundles

Great songs with insane amounts of energy. Bundles has got to be the most underrated band in the world. We love that thing you do! Go! Go! Our favorite song:The State of Seattle (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: The Lamb by Lala Lala

We’re in love with this song. The music references minimalist post punk with dark emotional truth telling, and then explodes into the chorus “you are the reason, you are the reason my heart broke behind my back.” Our favorite song: Destroyer (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Episode 19- Honest Expulsions

John is anxious about doing the Teletubbies wrong. Also, why pirates were the first punk rockers, Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassaday, men in hairspray, the social significance of doing shots, and why girl rockers should wear huge sweatsuits on stage. We also have excellent music:

Thank you to Foot Gun for providing our theme song, and thank you to Kim Frye and Joshua Marc Levy of The Asheville Rock Collective for the excellent interview.

Album Review: Lemon Memory by Menace Beach

Some art for ya. Weird sounds and great songs. Lovely vocals and a giant sweatsuit. Highly recommended. Our favorite song: Suck it Out. Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po

Album Review: Catholic School by Joey Sweeney and the Neon Grease

Really intelligent, very listenable and indeed danceable music from Philadelphia. We don’t find it Dad-like, we find it role-model-like. Our favorite song: Baptized in Vibe.Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po
