The Von Tramps

While some of you jerks were out having fun at fests, I was chained to a laptop that was chained to a desk that was chained to a bunch of other chains (we really need to clean this place up) in the DyingScene basement with nothing but Bandcamp for company and a bucket of fish heads for sustenance. But despite this hardship, I have scoured the corners of Bandcamp and found six bands from all over the place (all right, maybe more than half are from the midwest, shut up, you can make these decisions when you’ve been chained up with fish heads) which were absolutely the best bands I heard while definitely not on an ether binge or in a fish head-induced fever dream! Please don’t ask how I sneaked in the ether. Uh, anyway, music below!

Denton, Texas’ The Holophonics have released an album that actually can get me to consent to listening to a Bon Jovi song.

MaSKArades Vol. 11: Awesome 80s is a collection of ska covers of “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Africa,” “Never Gonna Give You Up,” and more. $6 gets you 11 very well polished ska covers of 80s standards. This is the album you didn’t know you wanted.

Check out the stream below!

Still waiting on that fourth wave.
