ALASKAS Covers Foot Village

Deathbomb Arc has a Foot Village comp coming out soon featuring many different artists covering their already collaborative song Chicken & Cheese.

Stream the ALASKAS dubbed out space version below for the first time ever. Check out ALASKAS/USF tour dates upcoming here.

Easy Answers from These Are Powers


I've oft heard critics or press people claiming artists to be "of the future" in what ever tense you have. Tin can garbage punk bands, garage chambered soundscapes echo devastation and nuclear apocalypse. These Are Power's cultish future is of colorful excess, there is no vast deserted plain or cities sunk into swamps. Conventional rock instruments synthed and triggered to make this futuresque party trio blind you with what they have brought back with them.

The video for Easy Answers from their most recent LP "All Aboard Future" (which is H+H approved) is costumed by the diabolical duo Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty who continue to supply Highfives and Handshakes, as well as the world, with mind mowing reclaimed dress for the underground.

Local Wierdo's Tonight!

Another brilliant installment in the Healthy Times Fun Club bills happens tonight. If you havn't had the chance to experience Secret Colors in Seattle yet, I would recommend them highly. Casey of LP&BB and group's founder Matt Lawson take you on a pysch-pop excursion, stoning the hooks and harmonizing the riffs.

Universal Studios Florida just might have their new record Ocean Sunbirds, their second release for Brooklyn's Little Fury Things. Animal Image Search from Denton, TX is releasing the cassette. Their name makes it impossible to find them on the interweb, if anyone has a link hit us back! USF is for fans of Animal Collective, High Places, or any of you out there into popped bliss and reverbed jungle jams.

Jam on this track, Haze Coasting. Its from USF's Ocean Sunbirds which will be able available tonight, and for sale online by next week.

Hurry Up!

From the depths of Seattle an arpeggiated monster throbs and swells in its mutant form. The winners of Seattle's Newest Band to Deserve A Lazer Light Show and Fog Machines Award. Spurring the music editor of Seattle's Only Newspaper to stumble grammatically in their overwhelming, wall of 8x10 cab glory. This is the kind of shit that makes a 20 Jazz Funk Great, makes every head in the room bob, bow, and twist. You can feel this shit on the inside.

They play at The Comet Tavern on Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA July 5th with Baltimore's unruly Double Dagger.
