Veil of Maya - False Idol - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Power pop legends The Rubinoos are known for turning bubblegum into gold with ridiculously catchy tunes like InchI Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,Inch their cover of Tommy James & The Shondells' InchI Think We're Alone Now,Inch and the theme song to Revenge of the Nerds. They were the backing band when Jonathan Richman recorded the alternate version of InchRoadrunnerInch and they opened 56 shows for Elvis Costello on his Armed Forces tour. But what's most impressive is that The Rubinoos are approaching their 50th anniversary and penning some of their finest songs to date. InchFrom HomeInch is a homecoming recording of sorts. It reunites the original lineup of the band and was recorded in the same studio where they recorded their first single for Beserkley Records nearly half a century ago. The album was co-written and produced by Chuck Prophet, and right from the opening of the lead track InchDo You Remember,Inch you'll realize that The Rubinoos never left and are here to take you back to Berkeley with them.

Philadelphia, US, noisemakers The Mary Veils return with new album Esoteric Hex, their first full-length as a band. Mixed by Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs etc) and Cory Hanson (Wand, Ty Segall etc), Esoteric Hex is a scintillating ten-track exercise in punk-inflected garage rock rooted deeply in the intersection between riffery and melody, taking it's cues the classic punk of New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders and The Dickies, as well as more contemporary influences like Osees and Hot Snakes. The record is out on Sweden's PNKSLM Recordings (ShitKid, Les Big Byrd, Holy etc.).
