Lemuria / Kind of Like Spitting - Your Living Rooms All Over Me
Art of the Underground - AOTU 026 - 12inch
LEMURIA are a trio from Buffalo, NY that bring 7 new songs of female / male fronted punk with blazing guitar tones and loud as fuck drums. With vocal melodies a la DISCOUNT and riffs in the vein of JAWBREAKER and SUPERCHUNK. KIND OF LIKE SPITTING from Portland offer 5 new songs as a full band, as opposed to a couple of recent releases that have been more folky. Fans of BILLY BRAGG and the THERMALS should definitely check out their side of the split. One song is actually a song is a THERMALS outtake that Ben Barnett (of KOLS) recovered from his days of being in the band.

Kind of Like Spitting - In The Red
Art of the Underground - AOTU 025 - 12inch
The long awaited official eighth album from Kind of Like Spitting builds on ecclectic past efforts with a scattershot of searing rock, up-in-arms folk, bone-dry ballads and wistful traditionals. You'll hear influences ranging from Phil Ochs and Billy Bragg stretching to Propagandhi! Ben Barnett, singer and songwriter, has also played in The Thermals awhile back, and you can hear this in a few of the tracks as well.

Kind of Like Spitting - Thrill of the Hunt
Art of the Underground - AOTU 024 - 12inch
Barnett's songs can rotate between somber, solemn solo pieces, explosive, full-band rock or pop, and songs with his talented friends bringing in other instruments to highlight or create a mood. Between all styles handled by Kind of Like Spitting, though, lies the solid punk ethic and influence and an ability for immense lyrical depth and directness held by truly few.

Robert Blake - Still Kissing Last Nights Smoke Stained Lips
Art of the Underground - AOTU 007 - 12inch
If you’re going to be a folksinger in this age of irony and flash-pan marketing, you’ve got to put your whole fierce heart into it. The culture of resistance is alive and kicking, and under all these layers of empty fame there are people who are living with their art on a daily basis. Blake’s voice will remind you of that, shooting through the dark late silence to call your own fierce heart awake.
