Retox "Beneath California"

LP - $17.50
STREET DATE: 4/19/24
CAT#: 31G079
LABEL: Three One G

The world is falling apart one day at a time, and the majority of us sit and watch as if attending a public hanging--more and more, our interest is piqued by the appalling, while our thoughts and reactions remain largely absent. When stripped of the bloated, festering egos that so many cling to in order to feel important, we are nothing more than ugly animals. In a society that is predominantly dormant, Retox brings this reality to the forefront in a forward-thinking way, commanding our ever-rapidly-decreasing attention spans and determined to provoke some kind of visceral response, good or bad.

Consisting of Justin Pearson (The Locust, Deaf Club, Swing Kids), Michael Crain (Festival of Dead Deer, Dead Cross), Brian Evans, and Keith Hendriksen (Kill the Capulets, Virginia Reed), Retox is marked by a speed and sound that seeks to shatter apathy. Since their conception in 2011, they have toured with similarly like-minded acts such as Melt-Banana, Tomahawk, OFF!, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Doomsday Student, physically bringing every bit as much intensity as the music itself incites intellectually.

Coming off of their sophomore album, "YPLL" (Years of Potential Life Lost), Retox have emerged from the collective depths of San Diego and Los Angeles with their latest antagonistic efforts, entitled "Beneath California". Varying styles and sonically experimenting, melding the raw with the refined, the band continuously teases yet never settles on any one genre-- aside from perhaps (as members of the band itself have referred to their work) "annoying". Tracks such as "Death Will Change Your Life" spit cynical lyrics drenched in rapid-fire rhythm: "All those who have died before me, forgot trustees, cleaned streets with parolees/They dragged everything into the sea, the filth and the debris, and hoped none would see."

Overall, Retox simultaneously seems to reflect and defy, using music as a way of holding a broken mirror to the rest of us, exposing different pieces of our own fucked up realities, and forcing the acknowledgement of the inevitable self-imposed apocalypse we are creating for ourselves.

TRACK LISTING:
01. Die In Your Own Cathedral
02. We Know Who's The Prick
03. The Savior, The Swear Word
04. Let's Not Keep In Touch
05. Disappointing Grade
06. The Inevitable End
07. This Should Hurt A Little Bit
08. Death Will Change Your Life
09. Without Money, We'd All Be Rich
10. You're Only A Crook If You Get Caught
11. Wooden Nickels
12. Strong Wrong Opinion

Couch Slut "You Could Do It Tonight"

LP - $17.25 / CD - $8.00 / CASSETTE - $8.00
STREET DATE: 4/19/24
CAT#: BPR-100
LABEL: Brutal Panda

NYC's resident misfits Couch Slut have played a veritable strain of drug-fueled, incendiary noise rock since 2013. Led by Megan Osztrosits' infernal roar and subversive, vitriolic lyrics, the quintet returns with their fourth full-length opus You Could Do It Tonight, just in time for America's only holiday that matters...4/20.

Recorded amidst the filth of NYC with Uniform's Ben Greenberg (Drab Majesty, Portrayal of Guilt, Metz), Couch Slut subverts the paradigm and ups the ante in every imaginable way across nine vignettes of perverse, true-to-life storytelling layered over the band's singular, dragged-through-the-mud songcraft. This is a depraved style of noise rock that will scare the living shit out of you. With ten full years of pain and suffering under its proverbial belt, Couch Slut sounds more urgent, threatening, nasty and despondent than ever. The perfect soundtrack for 2024.

TRACK LISTING:

1. Couch Slut Lewis
2. Ode To Jimbo
3. Wilkinson's Sword
4. The Donkey
5. Presidential Welcome
6. Energy Crystals for Healing
7. Downhill Racer
