Garage Pop trio Boytoy just premiered this hilarious video for single "Shallow Town" on Spin. You can catch the band live at the first one of our Northside shows at Silent Barn with Big Ups, Lost Boy and Weird Womb (among others) on Thursday 06.12

Since Butter the Children entered a state of "indefinite hiatus" and won’t be playing our NYC B.E.A.F. Fest at Northside, we enrolled the sickeningly named sludge rock trio Vomitface to take their slot at 9.15 on Thursday. To keep this rather nauseating food-related theme going, check out their track "Sloppy Joes" below.

Raspy punk rock has a very important place in every punk rocker’s heart.  Dead Bars seem to occupy that space.  Formed in 2013 and hailing from New Jersey,  Dead Bars are not only raw, grungy, bloodied and ragged, but they seem to also have a surprisingly talent for melody.  They could easily be confused with most bands on the Fat Wreck Chords punk label.  The band just released two new tracks via No Idea Records, one called ‘Los Marineros,’ which will appear on their self-titled EP and one called ‘Just Fine’ that will appear on a split with Sunshine State.   You can listen to the latter below. – Michael Haskoor (@Tweetskoor)

The guys at The Deli’s headquarters have been waiting for this moment their entire life: a gorgeous young lady is standing in front of them unafraid to make eye contact… with all of them at once! (But they don’t know that). She spent the last five minute being seriously flirty with them, there are no doubts, she’s into them. It appears that finally the sacrifices of choosing a career in the hip but financially unrewarding music journalism field are paying off! What’s next, girl?

On a separate note, we need to issue a ORANGE LAW SUIT ALERT!!! There appear to be two bands named "Mother," both based out of NYC, and they both seem at a point in their career where they need a unique name. (By the way, it’s our opinion that one word band names should be banned or have a 3 digit code at the end of them to avoid confusion). The video below is by the rather new and mysterious electro-pop project Mother, that’s been getting a lot of attention with two singles released in the past 3 months, while the other NYC Mother plays a rather aggressive brand of Alt Rock and just released a new EP entitled "A New Life." Since "electro Mother" is playing the familiar "I don’t-want-you-to-see-me" game (they have no press pictures), "electric Mother" gets this post’s photo!

Young Planet conjure that vintage boom bap sound replete with hard rhyming, thumping rhythms, and echoed out hooks. Their productions are clean, their themes are conscious and politically inclined, and their videos are beautifully produced. Eibol, not to be confused with the MC from Fingerprint Records, generates electronic-based beats which speak to MC Cidada’s ominous study on the ever forthcoming end-of-days. The rhyme patterns are clever and engaging and with a few more turns round the sun, Young Planet will undoubtedly show an even greater diversity of life. Their free album, New Fast Automatic, is available on their bandcamp page.
