Jake in the desert<p>Was actually able to grab a couple things for <a href="https://c.im/tags/BandcampFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BandcampFriday</span></a> today. Wanted to support some small artists- purchases today go towards helping with the California wildfires, too. </p><p>Here's what I grabbed. Next couple years gonna be INTENSE for art. Angry/hopeful stuff:</p><p>First, I grabbed the WHOLE (small) discography of a killer band I just discovered-- Ohio antifascist punks NO HOLDS BARRED. ALL their stuff is great. This is the EP that hooked me. Check their other stuff- love the other album covers. <br><a href="https://noholdsbarred-antifascistarmy.bandcamp.com/album/anti-fascist-army" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">noholdsbarred-antifascistarmy.</span><span class="invisible">bandcamp.com/album/anti-fascist-army</span></a></p><p>I've talked about Brighton, UK's PLASTICS on here before, and today I grabbed their promo from last year,<br><a href="https://plasticsrockers.bandcamp.com/album/promo-24" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">plasticsrockers.bandcamp.com/a</span><span class="invisible">lbum/promo-24</span></a>.</p><p>Finally, I grabbed the EXCELLENT 'What's Write EP' from a few years back, when rapper Gorgeous Jefe was still known as Malick McFly &amp; got together with Rey, Nat Gem etc as Tuscon, AZ collective TWELVOTWO to put this out in 2021.<br><a href="https://twelvotwo.bandcamp.com/album/whats-write-ep" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">twelvotwo.bandcamp.com/album/w</span><span class="invisible">hats-write-ep</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/punk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>punk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PunkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PunkRock</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AntifascistMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntifascistMusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AntifascistPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntifascistPunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/antifascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifascist</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/OhioPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OhioPunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/indie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indie</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieMusic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rap</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/hiphop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hiphop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UKPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UKBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BrightonBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrightonBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BrightonPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrightonPunk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TucsonRap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TucsonRap</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PhoenixRap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhoenixRap</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@wendigo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>wendigo</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.staticmade.com/@jeffrey" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jeffrey</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@tangleofwires" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>tangleofwires</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@Defiance" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Defiance</span></a></span></p>
Jake in the desert<p>Happy Halloween, freaks. This week's <a href="https://c.im/tags/ThursDeath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThursDeath</span></a> is perfect for today. </p><p>GRAVE GHOUL is from the UK and they just put out this 'The House of Dead Flesh' EP. It's badass. Gross and growly and gruesome. It starts out with a dude being interviewed about maniacs who see the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Sets the tone. Great cover art, too. Won't disappoint fans of crazy horror death metal. </p><p><a href="https://graveghoul.bandcamp.com/album/the-house-of-dead-flesh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">graveghoul.bandcamp.com/album/</span><span class="invisible">the-house-of-dead-flesh</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/metal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DeathMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeathMetal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GraveGhoul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GraveGhoul</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UKBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EnglishBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnglishBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Halloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Halloween</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EnglishDeathMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnglishDeathMetal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HorrorMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorMetal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HappyHalloween" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HappyHalloween</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Halloween2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Halloween2024</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@wendigo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>wendigo</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@HailsandAles" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>HailsandAles</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@BlackenedGreen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>BlackenedGreen</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@umrk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>umrk</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://metalhead.club/@Kitty" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Kitty</span></a></span></p>
Jake in the desert<p>You need wake up music for a Monday. Today's wake up music is Gold Cup. Yet another band from Manchester, this is fuzzy garage psych punk something or other. </p><p>Gold Cup put out 5 song EP 'Beyond a Joke' on October 8. It's catchy and punchy and weird.

Jake in the desert<p>Heard <a href="https://c.im/tags/MusicWomenWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicWomenWednesday</span></a> is a thing now, and the first band that came to mind for me is Ladytron. I've loved them since I first heard their first album '604' when it came out in 2001. 'Playgirl' is so catchy and infectious, it INSTANTLY hooked me. And their cool voices! </p><p>Ladytron has had so many amazing songs since, too, like 'Seventeen', and 'Deadzone' (a warning for this one, I didn't link the video here, it is VERY strange and dark, just search for it if you wanna see, kinda like how their video for another of their newer songs 'The Island' is also weird, they've gone a wild direction lately that I dig, but I'm sure it's not for everyone). </p><p>These two of their videos are rad and totally TAME, though - and worth a watch, because they are GREAT:</p><p>Playgirl<br><a href="https://youtu.be/qMH6wljk4Xw?si=i84pY0ugHjksNZ66" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/qMH6wljk4Xw?si=i84pY0</span><span class="invisible">ugHjksNZ66</span></a></p><p>Seventeen<br><a href="https://youtu.be/s6jaYJx7yeI?si=1SYOjTRhxRsDKJDu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/s6jaYJx7yeI?si=1SYOjT</span><span class="invisible">RhxRsDKJDu</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Ladytron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ladytron</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ElectroPop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectroPop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/synth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>synth</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SynthPop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SynthPop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Liverpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Liverpool</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/UKBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BritishBands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishBands</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Playgirl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Playgirl</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Seventeen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Seventeen</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deadzone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Deadzone</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheIsland</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MusicVideos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MusicVideos</span></a></p>
