weekly mixtape

weekly-tapemix-3-no-overlay

Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t but there was no mixtape last week. Can’t exactly tell you why, but all you need to know is that this week is completely different than last. Guess it’s a good thing that this particular wrap up will include tracks from more than one week, right? Starts off fast and hard like punch in the face and ends up soft and smooth while the swelling subsides.

lovvers//ocd go go girls 7″

LVVRS7

Lovvers are another band in the recent trend towards a punk reawakening. The guys from the UK will be releasing their OCD Go Go Girls/Flowers 7″ August 3rd for download through Wichita Recordings. (Aug. 10th for the real deal) The sound is full of no-fi, fractured guitars with buried vocals well behind recognition at times. The group played @SXSW this past spring along with appearances beside Yeasayer, Jay Reatard, and Times New Viking amongst many others. I’ve included two tracks off the 7″ in “OCD Go Go Girls” and “100 Flowers.” A new album entitled THINK (a 13 minute, 7 song chaotic stroll) is out on Wichita as well. Some more info on this guys here. Also included is “Wasted Youth,” from THINK and for those of you lucky enough to see these guys in the northeast, I’ve included the latest tour details.
