Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill

Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill

One of my favorite songs from the Godless America Records Vol. 6. This is a wonderful basement home recording with a massive acoustic guitar and distorted blown-out voice. It’s a shaggy dog story of sitting and staring at a cup of puke between your feet and wondering who is starting all this bullshit now? Epic and cool. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods

Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods is one of the many music ventures of our friend Quinn Powers. Here he is all catchy pop and delicious beats and synth. The understated vocal line is so hooky and dreamy. Wonderful play with dynamics – not loud and soft – but simplicity and complexity. This is so good I was dumb enough to ask if it was a cover – I’m dumb.

Song We Like: Give Me Metal or Give Me Death by Lavender Blue

Song We Like: Give Me Metal or Give Me Death by Lavender Blue

Some of the prettiest, most beautiful singing. The evocative wanderings of the artist. “Give Me Metal or Give Me Death” is a graffiti slogan. This is a sly love song, through the recounting of a day, she asks for a piece of his/her heart. As a listener you’re totally willing to give Lavender Blue a piece of your heart. Also – just wonderful slide guitar.

Song We Like: Killer by Ruby The Hatchet

Song We Like: Killer by Ruby The Hatchet

It is so redundant to say that Ruby The Hatchet is bad ass. The riffs are killer, this is so tight, and the blues rock organ in gorgeous. The is the finest blues rock, leaning into the metal space, you will ever hear. These guys know how to give the audience exactly what it wants – and they deliver. Total killer. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #83 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Beneath The Sea by The Hit Dogs

Song We Like: Beneath The Sea by The Hit Dogs

We know Neal Ward and the various bands he’s fronted. So The Hit Dogs just released their first album – “Without Further Ado” – and they’ve moved from their grunge and Pearl Jam influences of their previous bands. It’s really interesting to hear them developing this new rhythm and percussion and very cool understated guitar and vocals.  Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #82 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: I Piss On You by Hotdoggrrrl & The Sesame Buns

Song We Like: I Piss On You by Hotdoggrrrl & The Sesame Buns

So glad this band has come into my life. Fantastic garage rock, classic rock-n-roll, fronted by this wonderful singer – all attitude and crassness and depraved sexual shenanigans. I am laughing and also very nervous when I listen to this band. This is an artist who is fearless and has truly stepped off the ledge and is floating in the air. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #82 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Airborne by Wussy

Song We Like: Airborne by Wussy

Yup – I’ve listened to this a hundred times this week alone. There’s something so intimate in the male/female vocals – this conversation about miscommunication and mixed signals that leads to a break up. The woman’s voice is just the truth. I believe everything she sings. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #82 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.

Song We Like: Shot Me Down by The Drain Outs

Song We Like: Shot Me Down by The Drain Outs

So fun. Some shagadelic updating of 1950s/1960s surf pop. Like if Austin Powers was fronting The Strokes. We at Holy Crap Records Podcast love it when underground bands lean into dance music. So catchy. It’s a mystery why this song isn’t everywhere. Girls are screaming and men are peeing their pants with excitement!

Song We Like: No Justice by Federale

Song We Like: No Justice by Federale

It’s so refreshing when an underground band ventures into new territory and absolutely creates music of such epic beauty. Federale ride into the wide open spaces of the spaghetti western and lonesome heartbreak. The voice is as rich and full of honey as any crooner from the 1940s and 1950s, and the composition is restrained and gorgeously evocative. Wanna hear us talk about this song? – Featured on our #82 podcast at www.hlycrp.com.
