Fuzz Ghost - Fuzz Ghost EP

Griffin Washburn's project Fuzz Ghost accompanied by Mills Brown, Eli Perron and Luke Fedorko released a few days ago their eponymous debut EP. Based in Nashville, mostly known for country bands, these guys are proving a new wave is coming to the city, and this is not because Third Man Records has influenced them, nothing further away from reality.

The voice with an empty energy which starts 'Sandy Burn' is replaced quickly for a surf and garage ballad,  sounding as a slow motion version of Fidlar. Lo-fi instrumentation makes way to the heartbreaking lo-fi vocals on 'Lost Mind', which also is looking at the sky to sound harder than it has, thanks to the southern surf rock with a garage touch that they perform.

TIGERCUB - Destroy/You 7"

TIGERCUB are a trio from Brighton who look like from Seattle, birthplace of grunge, style they offer since the publication of 'Blue Blood' and 'Centrefold', their first two singles...being this last one released via Blood Red Shoes' label Jazz Life.

Now, thanks to Too Pure Singles Club and Cannibal Hymns, they will release their first 7", made up of 'Destroy' and 'You', the first one with a wall of metal sound wrapping the pure grunge founded in both of them, which is coming out of Jamie Hall's microphone bringing to mind Kurt Cobain...and thus Nirvana.

Hall also is responsible for playing the guitar while James Alexander is playing drums and James Wheelwright bass. Also 'Destroy' reminds of Royal Blood, but with a less powerful than their city colleagues. Its raw sound is combined with this mental dysfunction which forces their minds to the chaos, where everything is wrong and don't invite to remember 'You', this special person who had meant happiness and without that person...there is nothing more.
