Bratty. Bordering on obnoxious? Maybe, but this brash quartet out of Texas is here to prove something with its full-length release <strong>Something To Consume<\/strong> (Third Man Records). The band is filterless, with the volume set to 11 and on the attack. Of course they are, and \u201cThrow Yourself To The Sword\u201d encapsulates that all. The band\u2019s voluminous instruments leave your ears ringing with a full-frontal assault, riffing across the track with Buzz Osbourne-like prowess while playing with Mick Mars-like tempestuous fingering. Yeah, we hear it. The sound <strong>Die Spitz<\/strong> emanates from the album is larger-than-life with absolutely no fucks given. You can hear that resonate in \u201cAmerican Porn\u201d where you think they\u2019re heading in one direction but then scream &amp; howl in another. This is what we\u2019ve been missing: a group that probably doesn\u2019t give one or two shits if you like them or not because they\u2019re not here for you but for her pleasure. This is possibly the best song the Blackhearts never wrote. It\u2019s angry, it\u2019s volatile, it\u2019s wrapped in melody, and it destroys everything in its path!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There\u2019s something special about the band that separates it from the rest of the pack, and it\u2019s probably the ferocity of its delivery. Listening to the punk-fueled \u201cRiding With My Girls,\u201d there\u2019s a sense of abandon while also holding tightly to the reins or the song\u2019s structure. But the band changes things up on the smooth feel of \u201cPunishers,\u201d where the melody and instrumentation are<\/em> inviting, but the band members do crank things up on overdrive, and the song is the better for it. For fuck\u2019s sake, Something To Consume is something we can all sink our teeth into<em>, without need of flossing, because we want that aftertaste to linger for a while.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=214242996\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/diespitz.bandcamp.com\/album\/something-to-consume\">Something To Consume by Die Spitz<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>JULIA JULIA \u2013 <em>SUGARING A STRAWBERRY<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">It\u2019s as if I can almost taste it. The melting sweet grains rolling right off, and it\u2019s delicious. Yeah, it\u2019s a taste unlike anything else, and if you close your eyes, you imagine the sun touching down on the horizon as you continue to bite into a delicate fruit, and its tanginess is stifled by the sweetness wrapped all around it.<\/p>\n<p>Before I get lost in the imagery, it\u2019s <strong><em>Sugaring A Strawberry<\/em><\/strong> (Suicide Squeeze Records) that\u2019s being referenced here. This is\u00a0the sophomore effort by Coathangers member Julia Kugel. Recording as <strong>Julia Julia<\/strong>, the music here strays as far away as possible from the garage-punk of the band for a more delicate approach. Throughout the new album, we see and hear a different side, much softer, more soothing. \u201cBound\u201d opens the album, structured around light percussion, gently plucked bass notes, and subtle guitars. All the while Kugel coos around her words, floating. Her voice is airy, barely raising it but keeping listeners captivated. Make no mistake, while everything rolls around quietly, her voice lilts around sweet melodies and allows emotion to take hold. It\u2019s beautiful and sets the tone for the rest of the album. \u201cFeeling Lucky\u201d is led by a guitar chord that could explode at any moment if they chose to do so, but Kugel has complete control over them, keeping them in check with her sultry voice, and I\u2019m here for it. Her voice is sultry and tantalizing, fitted well within the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Even though there are moments when you might think everything\u2019s going to explode across a void, there\u2019s still the moment when and where it\u2019s grounded. \u201cBlackout\u201d moves this way, but again, Kugel\u2019s voice, captivating from beginning to end, holds everything together and allows listeners to ride the crescent wave of sensuality around it. Could there be a comparison to anyone else? Of course, but the breathiness of her voice remains focused, never shaking or making a misstep. Now \u201cStalemate\u201d though brings to mind Dazed and Confused with one Milla Jovovich plucking at strings &amp; singing. It\u2019s just the guitar though that I\u2019m making a cheap comparison to because it\u2019s floating in curiosity &amp; darkness. This is one of my favorite tracks on the release, with sparse percussion and Kugel lighting the way until its eventual end.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout <em>Sugaring A Strawberry<\/em>, yes, there is a hint of mystery, but it\u2019s all tied together neatly, and Julia Kugel handles it with poise and elegance. This year, this is a surprise, and it\u2019s pieced together wonderfully.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3052255947\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hearjuliajulia.bandcamp.com\/album\/sugaring-a-strawberry\">Sugaring A Strawberry by Julia, Julia<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source ghettoblastermagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loud.
