A fun drummer supports layers of this girl who sounds like Justine from Elastica back in the day. We love the snarky lyrics and the thick, unironic Melborne rock sound. (Listen to it on podcast #59)

In the verse it’s like a rubber band, stretching to the edge of those two notes, and then everybody comes in on the chorus and some other stuff happens. New York City punk is having a fun moment. (Listen to it on podcast #59, which you can find at www.hlycrp.com)

I am managing a band for a year – “Band A.” I am attaching photos just so there is proof of this next part of the story: How I had toothache and how “Band A” got on a label… 
Fact 1: A few months ago I got smacked in the face with a soccer ball and I chipped my back, left, upper molar. It was irritating and made me especially irritable on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. (I went to the dentist on Monday and he said I’d lost half my molar and this morning he sawed the remaining molar in two pieces and yanked it out – photos included.) 
Fact 2: “Band A” played at a brewery on Sunday afternoon. One member was out of the country, two members were interested, and two members were not so interested. I went to the Saturday practice and no one wanted to play drums and no one could agree to a set list. There was no center to the band. So on Saturday evening I sent a text around saying my tooth was hurting and I wasn’t going to show up to the brewery show on Sunday either. Then the two members who didn’t want to play – suddenly did want to play. I guess I was being annoying AF. (Derek Allen and Derek Frye can speak at length on this subject.) 
Then on Sunday morning, when everything seemed bleak and painful, and I was being a total drama queen, I received an email from KK Records wanting to release an EP by “Band A” – image of email also included. 
I checked them out – they have good bands on their roster. (I’ll post the redacted correspondence between me and the label on instagram.) For example The Painkillers are great – check out their song “Tomorrow” – https://kafadankontak.bandcamp.com/track/tomorrow. We’re playing The Painkillers guys on the Holy Crap Records podcast this week. (Funny, cause now I’m on painkillers.)
The label is Kafadan Kontak Records out of Istanbul, Turkey – for real – and they’re putting out a roster of garage rock bands. They said they can book us a tour in Turkey. And they’ve asked for four songs to release on an EP. Check them out: https://kafadankontak.bandcamp.com/..
Anyway, whatever happens, I will be documenting it…
