FUCK YEAH: Bang

MP3: Big Business - Guns

I've got to go and get some beers for tonight, so this is a quick one - enjoy the best song on the recent Quadruple Single by Big Business. Have a good weekend!

FUCK YEAH: Melvins, as always.

MP3: Melvins - Pig House

As I stated in the comments of that post, I totally stand behind Matthew's selection yesterday. That said, it did sort of pussy things up a bit and it's the fucking weekend, so let's make some shit happen.

I don't know what the fuck this is about (yes I do, P4K just doesn't get it), cause the new Melvins record "The Bridge Screamed Murder" is another slam fucking dunk for the dudes since they recruited Big Business to make things more radical. Jam this one loud, we'll see you next week with some more choice nugs.

FUCK YEAH: The Whip

MP3: The Whip - Freelance Liaison

MP3: The Whip - Sheep and Goat Judgement

The Whip were 2/3 Karp and 1 part Thrones that left the world with only one incredible 7 inch after the passing of their drummer from a boating accident. This is that 7 inch. Get yer gashes ready and if you dig it (you dig it) buy it from Wantage USA right here. Fuck yeah!

FUCK YEAH?: Melvins

MP3: Melvins - Nude With Boots

I don't know what happened between recordings, but if "Nude With Boots", the title track released earlier this week from the upcoming Melvins lp is any indication, we're in for something different from the band.

Not that it's shocking: these duders change it up in some way all the time, and since taking Big Business into camp with (A) Senile Animal in 2006 it's only gotten better. This song might be fucking weird as all hell, but it still fucking slaughters and pisses on your record collection. Looking forward to the record on tour to follow boys!

"Nude With Boots" is out July 8th from Ipecac Recordings.

FUCK YEAH: Big Business

MP3: Big Business - Grounds For Divorce
MP3: Big Business - Start Your Digging

What you may have missed {week} nears it's end!

Big Business. Big FUCKING Business. Sure, you can look at the dudes' past bands (uhhh Karp?! Murder City Devils?!) or the fact that they're in the Melvins. That's all killer on it's own but what really counts is that Big Business are a band. An awesome band.

"Here Come the Waterworks" came out earlier this year and I fear that some people may have missed it. It's a solid effort and a fantastic follow up to their debut "Head For the Shallow". Working with producer Phil Ek (Built to Spill, most everything awesome), the dudes crafted 8 songs, all brutal and catchy (tell me "Start Your Digging" doesn't have one of the best riffs you've heard in like forever).

Part of the appeal of Big Business is their attitude. The liners are full of trophy's and giant foam number one fingers. It's nice to see people who love what they do, and you get the feeling that they would listen to themselves if someone else was making these records.

But luckily, no one else is. Thank god for Big Business. Fuck yeah!
