Life Sux

Wavves - Life Sux EP

New EP from Nathan Williams and Co. I know this dude is a total douche, but god damn can he write some catchy tunes. Opening track "Bug" is one of the best songs of the year, and my favourite Wavves song so far. This is a great EP by an awesome band. I've been jamming this non-stop in the car on the way to and from work for over a month and I'm still not tired of it. Oh yeah Fucked Up and Best Coast guest on this thing, if that does anything for you.

Annihilation Time

Annihilation Time - I

Annihilation Time - II

Annihilation Time - III: Tales Of The Ancient Age

Annihilation Time were a hardcore band from California with some serious rock leanings whose sound reminds me of Black Flag mixed with Thin Lizzy and Motörhead. They broke up a couple years ago, which is a total bummer. The guitar work from this band was fucking awesome and there is some serious riffing on these albums. Lots of songs about partying and getting totally rad, which I can relate to (full disclosure: I get totally rad). I'm not sure what the members are up to now but hopefully they're getting another band together. If you like RKL, Suicide File and Turbonegro then you'll no doubt be into Annihilation Time.

The Fucking Wrath - Terra Fire

The Fucking Wrath - Terra Fire

These are some dirty fucking jams. The Fucking Wrath can go from sludgy doom-laden riffs to pummeling d-beat hardcore flawlessly and within the same song. Their debut LP Season Of Evil was the fucking tits, and this EP is a true rager. If you like your hardcore crusty and your metal sludgy than The Fucking Wrath will make you spill your children. This is their first release for the venerable Tee Pee Records, and hopefully it won't be their last.
