Lemuria / Kind of Like Spitting - Your Living Rooms All Over Me
Art of the Underground - AOTU 026 - CD
Mind numbing tunes from two bands from each coast! 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. Ultra catchy tunes that'll be branded into your brain. 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. (Description taken from Interpunk)

Lemuria - S/T EP
Art of the Underground - AOTU 016 - CD
Did someone turn the clocks back to 1990? A great 7" from a band that looks like your next door neighbors with a house full of roommates. A four-songer here with good gal / guy vocals from this trio, who dish out some punky pop with and indie feel. No CD filler here. Brings back the memories of the first Superchunk (Chunk) and Discount singles to name a few. A great new single from a great new band -- that is a must for you 90s indie types. (RL)

Michael Truckpile - S/T
Art of the Underground - AOTU 011 - CD
"Michael Truckpile has created a solo work of staggering depth and impressive craftsmanship. It's also a hell of a lot of fun. Through 13 cuts, he asks the tough questions: Who am I? And how can I fix this screwed-up world? The musical responses are alternately angry, bittersweet, fearful, and hopeful. Such self-examination risks sounding self-absorbed. But Truckpile's observations are sound, and his compositions are unnervingly personal and effortlessly tuneful." -Jay Blotcher, Chronogram Magazine

The Failures' Union - You Know Who
Art of the Underground - AOTU 010 - CD
To make music as sincere as this is rare feat these days. Some of the star tracks sound like they could even been "hits" given the right time and place. Like in the early nineties, perhaps? Tuneful as this album is, this is a recording that has depth, guts, melody and coherence. A pop/rock record with equal grit and intelligence. Just wait for the the hooks to sink in.

Robert Blake - Still Kissing Last Nights Smoke Stained Lips
Art of the Underground - AOTU 007 - CD
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.
