DOWNLOAD: Old Blood - I Win + Cannibal Lovin
Musical moments of the year so far #13: when the drums come crashing down on top of Old Blood's 'I Win'. The brother-sister duo of Caleb and Jael Steinmeyer live in Las Vegas after relocating there from Los Angeles some years back. You can hear the spare space of a town it takes an hour to cross in Old Blood; in the raw, melting guitar work and the base rhythm of the drums. Too young for bars or the strip at 20 and 18 respectively, brother and sister prefer instead to jam out demented takes on The Strangeloves' "I Want Candy", their punk noise simultaneously more direct and psychedelic than the rest of the mob, flung forth towards your flabby beer gut to bruise. A four-way split, also showcasing the dubious talents of Graffiti Island, Male Bonding and Rapid Youth, is eagerly anticipated in March through the frontiersmen at Paradise Vendors Inc.
