derTANZ - Kaktusz

derTANZ is an ass-kicking trio from Budapest/Balassagyarmat, Hungary. Szofia from Summer Schatzies told me that they are probably the best live act, and she described me derTANZ like this: they will hypnotize you with their stomach-stabbing bass lines, head-exploding noise sequences and droning instrumental parts. I watched their videos and saw resemblance with american hardcore punk band Flipper, cocky frontman sounds like one of the best hardcore punk singers in the 80's with his shivering minimal voice. The band told me that they recorded this LP in an old empty post-socialistic community house in some small village in Hungary so they could remake the atmosphere of their live gigs.

Cooper Burton - Marion Gray

Cooper Burton's second LP Marion Gray has been released through Retroflex Records, small record label from Louisville, Kentucky. It seems like they have pretty exciting scene over there and I have completely lost my count of how many bands from Louisville I've posted about. Cooper Burton's music is really clouded, mysterious and gloomy and it reminds me a lot of Nirvana. Whole album was made in that trashy fashion with VHS cassettes sounds, crackling guitar sounds, sometimes peaceful and sometimes shouting vocals. All in all, interesting & fresh music with a lot of references from 90's music.

DEBT - Iceland

This band is coming from hot streets of LA. They don't have to say that they are from LA, you can hear it from their jolly surf melodies and sweet but yet melancholic vocals. They have a lot of influences from 90's music especially: brit indie bands, american alternative grunge bands and screamo revival. Surely, we all have some influences but we always put our flavor in everything. You can download their releases Iceland and DEBT on their bandcamp.
