V/A - Acid Dreams [compilation]

Picked this up today at Other. I was sold at the description 'psych-garage'.

In the late '70s a Berlin record shop owner proved that it had actually been the previous decade that had spawned the off-kilter, angry, young and bored music that became known as punk rock. [<3 u marketing pplz]

This is badass. I want to start a garage rock band in the 60s. I'd go against the British invasion. Fuck the Beatles, fuck the Stones, fuck the Who. I'm gonna rock out in my garage with my best friends who can hardly play instruments. The walls are covered in various drug related paraphernalia and we'll play as loud as we can because we're teenagers and we're never gonna die.

Awesome lo-fi garage punk. Posted link to their myspace earlier, but here it is anyways: Nice Face. Bought two 7" of theirs from Other Music yesterday. Good shit.

Myspace Find of the...Day?

Nice Face

Thank you Last.fm suggestions. Apparently 'similar' to Blank Dogs, Wavves, Thee Oh Sees, so I decided to check out. Somehow, they're actually kinda right. Pretty cool lo-fi garage-punk. Definitely check out on your free time.

Interview:
Your songwriting seems pretty rooted in the garage, but I like when the songs start there and end up somewhere else entirely. How much does that have to do with your recording process? Or is it as simple as having varied musical influences? Tell me about them.

A.D.D. is a son of a bitch. i generally get pretty frustrated bordering on psychotic break at least once when recording a song. that's probably what you're hearing. also, i think deep down i just want to write horror movie soundtracks that sound like those old italian horror movies. super blown out creepy weirdness. that being said, i still wish i was in a band that sounded like the Coasters. but that requires talent. and being black. and having a couple of jews write my songs.

I 'lol' at the cover as well.

Heading over to Other Music tomorrow to buy the Exterminator 7" they supposedly have (according to their site)
