10 Minute Major, L-R: Eric Perry, Pete Figoni, Nick Yulico, and Bart Ostrowski (CREDIT: mëdusa @rand0mbella) 10 Minute Major is a new Alternative Rock, Post-hardcore, and Indie Rock-leaning band hailing from Huntington, New York consisting of four seasoned Punk/Hardcore vets. 10 Minute Major's current line-up is vocalist/guitarist Nick Yulico, guitarist/backing vocalist Eric Perry, bassist Bart Ostrowski, and drummer Pete Figoni. Amongst them, these Long Island Hardcore vets have spent time making and playing music with Glass Jaw (an early iternation of Glassjaw,) The 2 Minutes Hate, and Breadless Circus. 10 Minute Major dropped their debut single together, "Everyone Lies," back in February 2022. It was a fitting precursor for 10 Minute Major's debut EP , simply titled EP, which dropped right at the tail-end of last year in October 2022. Over time, we got to know 10 Minute Major frontman and guitarist Nick Yulico, strictly online, and once he began following our ...

The Folk Implosion originally existed from 1993-2004 and primarily featured Lou Barlow (Dinosaur, Jr., Sebadoh) & John Davis, as well as players Russ Pollard & Imaad Wasif. Folk Implosion were on an indefinite hiatus between 2004-20 and at different stages thoughout their career, were also known as Deluxx Folk Implosion/D.F.I. with memebr sof Boston's Deluxx, Ljudska, and The New Folk Implosion/N.F.I. Davis left the band around 1999-2000 and Barlow recruited Pollard & Wasif to help record The New Folk Implosion (2003.) "After 22 years, Folk Implosion have, today, self-released a new single: Feel It If You Feel It (two songs, two remixes) available on Bandcamp (it'll be on [your] Apple Music, Spotify etc. on April 29th.)" Feel It If You Feel It by The Folk Implosion "We got three physical formats to choose from: CD, cassette (get 'em now!) and 12-inch vinyl (pre-order, get it in November.) These songs will *not* be on the LP we are working ...

"You could fit the contents of Tony's previous releases on Slumberland and Matador [Records] onto one side of a 90-minute cassette and still have room left over for the eight offerings on CONFRONT THE TRUTH , but would you want it any other way? When Tony sings about "trying to move on but I just don't know how," no extension of the time it takes for him to bring that feeling across is going to solve the problem at hand. You're immediately thrust into the orbit of these songs; you know how he feels, and now you can relate. Transference is complete. You've got plenty of time left over to dwell upon them. The eight offerings on CONFRONT THE TRUTH notch a significant advancement in his style and approach. Almost completely absent from these new songs are the over-loaded guitar crunch of DISSED AND DISMISSED , or his earlier work with OVENS; it's replaced by gentle acoustic balladry, tasteful Mellotron and piano backing, the kind of musicianship that o...

I usually try to stray away from conjuring up those vague, strangely obtrusive analogies to describe what a band "sounds like." But here's one for good ol' time's sake: Black Flag/Dinosaur Jr. /Motörhead . Now, that's a pretty damn accurate description of Amherst, Mass' very own California X 's scuzzy brand of guitar-driven Garage Punk/Rock ; Lemmy, Dan & "Cool" (guitar-bass-drums) also incorporate stylistic touches of Rock "N" Roll , which sound similar to The Stooges and Foo Fighters . The band's self-titled [untitled] full-length, California X , is out on Don Giovanni this upcoming January 15th. It's the follow-up to their Damage 45, "Sucker/Mummy" from early 2012 and overall, they're describing it as "noisy 80's Western Mass. Rock , fuzzy 90's Garage Pop , and classic Post-Hardcore SST sounds." While California X and their crew are currently cutting together a SCARY final e...
