FUCK YEAH: Crisp

MP3: Leather - Novitiate

Here's one from Philadelphia's Leather. From this year's Sterile 7 inch (on Jade Tree of all places), this one is already old news snooze: Fan Death just released a new 7 inch from them called Wretch, but I don't have it yet. I'll keep you posted, but this one is very nice for BBQs.

FUCK YEAH: Who do you think you are?

MP3: Clockcleaner - Blood Driver
MP3: Clockcleaner - NSA

Philadelphia's Clockcleaner just had their seminal 2006 debut "Nevermind" issued on vinyl for the first time from the good folks at Fan Death Records and the world is much better for it. Certainly the band has only improved since it's release (their last ep on Load especially is a gigantic highlight), but for a starting point it's pretty right on and way better than most anything else. So yeah, it's more punk than sludge but that's fucking great, so check it out and snag yourself a copy.
