Nuggets 226a – Thrashy

Nuggets 226a - thrashy

Live thrash is good. Until someone thrashy comes to town worth hearing  (T54 ?) this mix will have to do.

The Thermal’s new album continues their old testament crime and punishment theme.  Katie Crutchfield from P.S Eliott shows why screaming in tune is so rewarding, and F***ed Up show us just how much breath you need to sing in a hard core punk band (though eclipsed by Jon Chang of Hayaino Daisuki who has an extraordinary ability to keep the screaming going).

I am really enjoying the Milk Music album (at long last), the latest from The Thermals and GRMLN.

Videos below, including, if I can get my act together, my lame effort from SXSW 2012 showing me heading into the Twilight Sad after eating too many burritos, crashing The Guards and catching a ride on a pedicab (a bike taxi) to see Built to Spill. Crank up the quality and enjoy it in hi-res.

PS, I applaud the photographer who persevered and filmed the F***ed Up clip below amid total chaos, bravo. This band I must see live.

Nuggets 170 – Thrashy

 

Nuggests 170

And so it is. This mix got me from Auckland –> Hamilton yesterday. There is a face off between NZ’s finest, T54 from Christchurch (more),

 

and Aussie’s champions, Iowa (confusingly they are from Melbourne).

T54 comes out tops of course.

Not the same Black Angels in tracks 1 and 2
 Will add some more comments soon. Enjoy.
