Fossil Records: Gina X Performance’s Nice Mover

December 12, 2022 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Gina X

Sometimes, for whatever reason, great art slips past audiences and remains woefully underappreciated. Which is why we’ve created an essay series called Fossil Records, devoted to helping people discover lost and obscure work that never got its due. Today, we look back at Gina X Performance’s innovative debut LP Nice Mover, a seminal work from a group that had a […]

Post Pink’s I Believe You, OK is Wonderfully Twisted Art Punk

May 27, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Post Pink I Believe You OK

There are a lot of reasons why power chords endure in music of righteous anger, but when you get down to it, it’s obvious the main reason is because they just feel good. You hit that simple shape and let it ring out and feel the sustain and it’s like the vibration is synced up […]

Revenge of the Mekons is a Loving Ode to Punk’s Greatest Unsung Heroes

July 30, 2015 By Nick Hanover 1 Comment

The Mekons Lester Bangs

You could spend a lifetime debating which first wave punk band was the most important and never approach any kind of consensus. I’ve always harbored a soft spot for the stragglers and also-rans but even with that weakness in mind, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to suggest the Mekons as the prime […]

Good-Ass Music: November 2013

November 13, 2013 By Danny Djeljosevic Leave a Comment

We’ve been doing these secretly for a little while, but now we’re going to start posting our monthly recommendations playlist here on tumblr. November’s playlist is a bit dark, since we’re now settling in for winter and getting used to the one time of year when Austin isn’t drenched in sun. 7AM6WM4lTr3FHTclxTTtHx 1. YVETTE ”Attrition” (NYC) […]

The Courtneys – “Social Anxiety”

June 21, 2013 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

That bass starts and I freak out a bit because my brain instantly goes “Mclusky?!” as though that’s a totally normal response to a few guttural, sloppily plucked bass notes. Then every other piece of the band pops in and fuck, “Social Anxiety” no longer requires a reflex inspired by a fucked up Welsh thug […]
