Scarcity of Tanks - "Fear is not Conscience" (2012)

Matthew Wascovich, the Clevo skater/sporto/wordsmith/punk dude, is touting two new LPs (via his own Total Life Society imprint) that bustle with his crud-bathed white-noise blues.

Oneida/Man Forever drums master Kid Millions, punk-jazz provocateur Weasel Walter, saxman Jim Sauter (of avant-jazz noisemakers Borbetomagus) and Necking's Nick Lesley descended on keysman Don Godwin's Gowanus studio with SOT regular and Electric Eels guitarist John Morton, armed with Wascovich's cerebral-cum-bombastic wordage and sticky guitar-anthem hugeness.

Alex Chilton - "Like Flies On Sherbert" (1979)

To say that Like Flies on Sherbert is a masterpiece of lo-fi punk would be a misnomer. Chilton wasn’t a punk rocker, even if he wanted to be.What he found so exciting about punk was its engagement of the audience. Like Flies is G.G. Allin tossing excrement on his crowds; it’s Iggy Pop rolling around in broken glass and peanut butter; it’s Elvis Costello cutting the band off mid-song on SNL and launching into “Radio Radio” instead.  

Like Flies is the sound of a musician railing against the indifference he felt his career had endured. It certainly isn’t perfect, but it’s absolutely real. 500 copies of no-compromise attitude, DIY grit, and triumphant artistic expression.
