Event Details
Kash (Italy)

They have both toured with Shellac and recorded with Steve Albini, so it's easy to put our stamp of approval on this one.
"Kash blend elements of Shellac with the ashes of Sweep The Leg Johnny: the rhythm section is almost mechanical, yet occasionally breaks into a relaxed groove...vocals vary between a speak/sing and a hardcore scream...they're also adept at taking their time to evoke a mood"

Sleepcomesdown (MKE)

"The ominous cool of Sonic Youth and Unwound is an easy ploy for a band to hide behind, and so is the circuit-stabbing experimentation of Health and Black Dice. To merge the two takes a little more dedication, and surprisingly doesn’t mean getting swallowed whole in pretension, at least for Milwaukee-via-Kenosha band "

The Fucking Hotlights (Buffalo, New York)

"So there’s a lot of well-deserved chatter and hype about Obits and their hybrid of classic-rock swagger and hardcore/noiserock grit. For my money, though, The Fucking Hotlights are way more visceral and rewarding. This Buffalo NY outfit ups the ante by throwing in some nods to Jesus Lizard and Circus Lupus and churns out a record that epitomizes fuck-all rock and roll. Dig it."- Flanneljammies Best Of 2011
