Texas punks Fat By The Gallon are making a bunch of news, including the announcement that they’ve signed on with Dang! Records. The retooled band also just released a new EP, Drunk & Despondent, which you can stream and/or buy below.
As if that wasn’t enough, you can also check out a new music video, “Shit List,” below the music. One more thing, you can get a free/name your price download of their recent split with Nonstarter right here.
When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here.
