"Brooklyn's Proton Proton have been concocting this succinct, sparkling sound for less than a year, and already they've dispensed with the peripheral. Like disparate forebears Can and Fugazi, they have a sparse, selective sense of sound, showcasing awkward rhythms and vocal stabs in isolation. There's no sonic mush for their quirks to disappear into, and even where their idiosyncrasies pile on top of each other, they're splayed in such a way that every limb is identifiable."

"Brooklyn's The Art of Shooting has spawned a disc of raw energy and pure guts. At times, messy beats provide a danceable element accompanied by the shared vocals of front women Kelly Corson and Jessica Jurgens. Wailing over one another to provide an eerie, cool quality as the music builds and drops dramatically in what can only be described as "Art Punk". Their rock has a sort of an unhinged feel to it, like at any time the band might start pounding their instruments uncontrollably driving the speakers to explode! They say it about movies, why not music, "It's an amazing thrill ride..." - independentsonly.com www.myspace.com/theartofshooting
The Butcherings: "I CANT HELP MYSELF, sometimes I just want some absurd, "hard science" (rational) phenomenon to explain why one performance is so turribly UNPLUGGED and the next is a non-stop, seamless stream of blistering, ballistical, flat-out-fobulous flailing n wailing." www.myspace.com/thebutcherings
"[Limbs has] concocted some intriguing, non-formulaic post-rock that lands somewhere between the dense sonic layers of Polvo and the odd, fractured rhythms of Slint." -Delusions of Adequacy www.myspace.com/limbs
Ana Lola Roman is not dance music. Not even close. I've been on this female vocalist kick over the last couple weeks, and Ana has provided a great working soundtrack. She writes bizarre musical fairytales, driven by off-kilter piano, synths, and her unique vocal style. Her music is very unusual -- for me, it conjures mental images reminiscent of Jan Svankmajer's Alice, one of those visually abstract films which has seared a couple great scenes into my mind. We're talking sawdust-filled bunnies with over-sized teeth, and jars of formaldehyde-soaked somethings (yes, somethings). ****************************** www.myspace.com/analolaroman
