Check out the new album by Bob Bert!

Today, we are psyched to debut the new single by Bob Bert! You all know bob. He was in Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, and he's also recorfed with Lydia Lunch. And now, he has got a freaked out album on the docket. Beach Bongo Bloodbathm out via Bar None, finds Bob mixing originals with some warped covers. Listen people, this is far out. For example yes, "Mississippi Queen" is a cover of the Mountain classic… sort of. It really is more of a broken down, built up reconstruction that calls out to the essence of The Residents, Devo, and The Units.As per Bob, Beach Bongo Bloodbath is my first ever solo album. It was recorded casually after doing some solo performances with my unusual percussion set up. It contains 8 cover versions and 5 songs under a minute. By not including any guitars or bass BBB takes you on a trip from the beach to Mars through the jungle."But don't take our word, here's what Lydia Lunch has to say: "“Bob Bert proves he's the coolest thing to come out of New Jersey since the vibrating bed, as he takes over the controls and spews his groovy magic all over his latest joint BEACH BONGO BLOODBATH. Playing nearly every instrument, spouting the occasional beatnik banter and covering Love Comes In Spurts makes this psychedelic hullabaloo the perfect party album.”Listen to the whole thing below right now.

DS Album Review: Steppin’ Razor Blades – “Stay Sharp”

Daniel O’ Day and other members of punk band River City Rebels return with a new collective project delving into one of the most relevant music genres of now: ska.  A completely different sound than the glam punk style of R.C.R., Steppin Razor Blades take a hold of the elements of 2-Tone, or New Tone as it’s being called in 21st-century America, and take it to the dancefloor and leave it there. 

Their debut album Stay Sharp is a 10-song collection that commands you to move for every tune. With strong keyboard chords, a reliable saxophone, and powerful drum fills, Stay Sharp is musically pleasant to the ear, near impossible to not dance around to, and has politically conscious lyrics that appropriately fits its 2-tone grooves.

Standout tracks for me include “Friend to a Memory”, “Ska Boy//Ska Girl”, “True Drug Lords” and “Coming of Age”.

While Ska in itself is a hard genre to master, 2-Tone is a different beast; and Steppin Razor Blades are quick to tame it. This is a great example of how to blend ska and punk to near perfection.  I can’t recommend this album enough to punks of all ages.

Stay Sharp by Steppin Razor Blades is available now on Bandcamp.

Watch the teaser for Aaron Sorkin’s ‘The Social Reckoning’

<p>Remember Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps? No? Well, that’s the vibe we’re getting from Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning, which is a sequel of sorts to — you guessed it — The Social Network. It’s missing one big component, though, and arguably it’s the most important one: Sorkin didn’t just write this one, he’s directing it as well. This is presumably because when faced with the choice between making a sequel about Mark Zuckerberg failing upwards and directing a new […]</p>
