We Are Hex hail from Indianapolis. The quartet use aggression and experimentation in just the right proportions. They know exactly how to push the postpunk envelope. The August 3rd release date for their second LP Hail The Goer (also the second Roaring Colonel release) is rapidly approaching. Listen.

Downloadable: We are the Goer (mp3)

Oh and if you are an eMusic member, you can download Hail The Goer right now… here.

Sam Farfsing creates spazzy glitchy goodness under the moniker MICROPHONIES. And yes, Micro-Phonies is an album from Cabaret Voltaire. It sounds like this. And yes, Micro Phonies is a Three Stooges sketch (watch it here and here).

So, MICROPHONIES have a new album called TTTIIIMMMEEEKKKIIILLLSSS. The LP is pressed on 180 gram bologna-colored vinyl and can be ordered from Track Number… here or here.

Oh and right here we have a song off said bologna-colored album. Listen.

Downloadable: In 3s (mp3)

While I was in LA this past weekend, I was able to check out some of the Origami Vinyl LA Approved Show @ Bar Melody. Here are some photos and mp3s…

First up is Future Ghost.

Listen: Scream White Noise (mp3)

This mp3 does not convey the heaviness that was Kissing Cousins.

Listen: Red Lamb (mp3)

Manhattan Murder Mystery showcased their earnest intensity.

Listen: Your Mother’s Neck (mp3)

Foot Village brought their spectacle to the lot behind Bar Melody.

Listen: Reggae War Zone (mp3)

I was kinda pissed I had to miss Signals (an offshoot of The Mae Shi).

Listen: Angst In My Pants (Sparks Cover) (mp3)

I also wanted to check out Dunes (featuring Kate Hall (ex-Mika Miko) and Stephanie Chan of Finally Punk);

Listen: Handle (mp3)

You can see a few more photos of the show (including Foot Village’s blood splattered drums) over at GIMME Tumblr.

I should point out that Pity Party and Monstro were also on the bill.

So, NJshredpunkers Screaming Females have a new album entitled Castle Face. It will be released on September 14th via the Don Giovanni label. It looks like this:

It sounds like this one might just be a little more poppy and a little less abrasive than what you maybe were expecting. Listen.

Downloadable: I Don’t Mind It (mp3)

If you can’t wait for the album to come out, perhaps you should buy some Screaming Females merch directly from the band.

Upcoming NYC date:

July 17 @ Siren Fest

Screaming Females will be touring extensively in support of said new album. Check here to see if they will be playing near your town. You should totally go them them.
