For those of you late to board the White Mystery train (myself included on that one guys) they are a powerhouse brother and sister garage punk duo from Chicago, who have rocked the scene since 2009.

Hot Bagels - "Toasted"

Craig Woods a.k.a. Hot Bagels unleashes his raw vocals partnered with a distorted and distant recording style that easily pushes "Toasted" into the realm kick ass lo-fi album. Stripped down, raw, emotional, and noisy indie Punk can be found throughout this 15 track release.

Cop the digital release at Hot Bagels Bandcamp page or wait for the LP to be released via Be Happy Records on Feb 25th.

¿Music Videos?

I thoroughly enjoy every opportunity to watch Chicago suburbanite hooligans, The Orwells show off their performance skills and their new music video is a prime opportunity to get the front screen experience.


Weird, loud, melodic, throbbing, thrashing, pleading-screeching musical fun. The video for "The Righteous One" grows in simple and clean chaos mirroring the music of the song.
Watch below and party on.

Danceable beats and driving, distorted guitar droning both invade and guide you through all of Vamos's hard grooving tracks as fast as they can.

Peoples Temple of America EP (04.11)

Why they rock 'n' stuff:

PTA is made up of Ben on guitar and vocals, Harry on bass and Trent beating those skins. Their music is simple and right in the way of teen angst and mid life crisis. They produce sounds that bring back memories of bands like the Bouncing Souls and Brand New to groups like New Order and the Cure. How? By creating a sound of wispy yet driving guitar rhythms, melodic pulsing bass lines, and well executed drum lines that help build a song together perfectly. Let's not forget the urgent vocal delivery which not only melds the sounds of classic skate punk with post punk joy division-esque vocal performance but also deliver poetic lyrical banter that ties each PTA song together.  

Simply put, they remind me of who I am and how that came to be...even if I have no clue means. It is what it is. 

Hear it for yourself:

P.T.A. just released a new album that can be downloaded FO' FREE just by clicking HERE.

If you are still hesitant to click your way to eight songs of Punky awesomeness let these two tracks be a little more persuasion to join the temple. 

If you dug that...make your life that much more complete and click part II

In Case you Haven't Heard

The Orwells

The Orwells are:
Mario CUOMO: Vocals 
Grant BRINNER: Bass 
Henry BRINNER: Drums
Dominick CORSO: Guitar 
Baby CHUCK: Guitar 

The Orwells are so much more than five 17 year old guys from Elmherst, playing the typical Garage Rock influenced breed of Punk Rock. The band provides an energy that is reminiscent of 1970's New York Punk hybrid with muddled yet intent filled glam-grungesque lyrical stylings that unknowingly entrance you into steady head bangin'. Embodying everything from punk, blues and soul, to grunge, new wave, and glam, The Orwells commit to playing what they want and not what you expect to hear. As vox man Mario says during an interview for Chicago's Consequence of Sound's Rock it Out Blog, "we're not really going for anything...we're just doing what sounds right to us." To be put simply, they play their version of Rock 'n' Roll and give a big EFF YOU to anyone who doesn't care for it. 


And it seems to be working.

Staying loyal to their Chicago scene is a big part of what makes the Orwells what they are. They decided that making it first in Chicago was priority numero uno, because going anywhere else, isn't being true to who they are.  An admirable (but sometimes viewed as idiodic) trait. 

For example-- Baby CHUCK on sticking it out in the Chicago scene: "being loyal to your home and to your city is a big thing for us" 

These boys know what they are doing. Their hometown start hasn't stopped them from making themselves a force to be reckoned with. These guys have gone from suburban basement shows, to local shows at joints like The Empty Bottle and Beat Kitchen to headlining a West Coast Tour! They've been picked up by L.A. record label Autumn Tone Records and released their first full LP Remember When (click if you want to snag the album) on  August 7, 2012. The album not only received recognition locally, but has even made it to the indie mother land of Pitchfork. 

Although they will be away touring for a while the boys are making sure to wrap up their tour in Chicago at the Beat Kitchen on March 23rd. Grab your tickets while you can!

If March is just too far away for you, get your Orwells fix by checking out this recent Audiotree performance.

If you are anything like me this will be on repeat until March slowly makes its way here. 

ENJOY HEADBANGERS and SWING DANCERS. ENJOY.
