Soulbound V.8

Soulbound Volume Eight by Various Artists   (March 31, 2012) *

Out monthly collection is back.  Soulbound Eight features some of our favorite songs from the blog this past March and some older as well.  Starting off with an Australian favorite, Post Paint and ending on the concluding notes of The Rare Plants Garden, the compilation holds no standard genre or format.  Instead, view it as a whimsical journey through the global DIY scene.  We’d like to thank all the bands involved for helping us put this together.  As always, it’s free for download off our bandcamp.

Cosmic Chief (Best New Music)

Cosmic Chief by Man Legs   (January 23, 2012) *

In the vein of everything that’s dirty in todays DIY music scene, Man Legs has international potential.  Take that as this man’s nomination for representation.  Distilling the core values of the speedy kind of punk that dominates todays culture and processing them through a more consequential (and sometimes more reserved) music machine, Cosmic Chief has everything in just three tracks.  Pulling funk into the wild assortment while never losing the filthy feel, the album’s 100% worth the click.

If I were to have a party in my backyard, I’d want Man Legs there. Mainly to do what they do best, which is play damned good summery pop-rock songs. (You know the kind I mean: uptempo, jangly guitars, dreamy yet fun, somewhere between Girls and Real Estate, maybe a touch of Vampire Weekend.)  But more importantly, I think they’d just be fun to party with. I mean, look at them. These kids are living the dream. So for that alone, Man Legs, I salute you.
