SHOW + EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: O'Death

Just a quick heads up, our good friends in O'Death are headlining a great show this Friday night at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg. Included in the cast of not to be missed support bands are the mighty Baltimore psych/electro popsters Ponytail, USAisamonster and Woods. Links to cop tickets—as well as a RCRD LBL exclusive single from O'death—are below.
Stream: Ponytail - Celebrate The Body Electric (It Came From An Angel)
EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: The Grizzly Owls - Whiskey and Clyde

The Grizzly Owls are Jenny (vocals, harmonica, and percussion) and Joseph Andreotti (guitar, bass, percussion, piano, and keys), a married couple who look towards the Dust Bowl migrations of the early 1930s for musical inspiration. So as you can guess, their particular style of bluesy folk is sparse, fragile, and sounds as if it were blown across a barren prairie land for months before it landed in your eardrums and lulled you into a rather disquieting slumber. As Jenny’s voice pleads: “This is my last night with Clyde” you have some serious doubts that everything’s going to be OK. Maybe the Depression hit them hard, or Clyde never came back from the War or something. The ‘30s were no joke, man. Seriously.
Sounds like: Marco Solo, Cat Power, Monkey Swallows the Universe
SHOW: Three RCRD LBL bands, one stage: Radio 4, Young Lords and The Weight in NYC Tonite!

Sorry for the last minute update, but we thought it was important to mention that Radio 4, Young Lords and the Weight are all playing together tonight in NYC at the Knitting Factory. We currently have a grip of downloads and streams from all three artists up on the site right now, making this show a mini-RCRD LBL fest of sorts. Naturally, you can cop all the jams using the links below.
Geek note: The new Radio 4 EP features cover art by Rick Froberg, who used to sing for almighty Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. Dude is sorta our hero.

EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: The Weight - A Day In The Sun

If you didn't believe us last time about getting down on that Gram Parsons altar and howling out them Stonesy country blues, just get a look at those nudie suits! These boys aren't shy about who they ride for and that's just as well because it means they don't hold back when they pull their chins back into their necks and scowl out that twang. here's what we said last time - this time we have a real live download!
If this is too country for you, well... maybe you oughta look into getting a little more country. These good ol' Brooklyn boys get down on the altar of Gram Parsons and shake their fallen angel feathers like they were a pack of mid-'70s Stones filthying up the French Riviera. And if this shake-a-mama shit doesn't curl your lip, we got bad news: that thing on your face isn't actually a lip.

But quit reading and stomp a boot to this nastified chicken fry. It's got enough singalong swagger and woohoohoo harmonica to cry your Jack Daniels dry. The Weight!
DOWNLOAD: Drug Rug - Walden

Drug Rug are one of our favorite new bands who make retro country-blues with a hint of drunken rock flair added for posterity. We caught them a while ago totally randomly at Mercury Lounge. They played a Dios cover and we were like, are you serious? This is the jam! This is a demo called “Walden”, enjoy!
DOWNLOAD: Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Obviously you already heard this pastoral sweetness from the frigid depths of old world Wisconsin, but has your mom? Have your neighbors? Has a busload of children? Has every girl you've ever known? Probably not. Just in case you don't have it, download this winter morning falsetto revelation and play it softly from the rooftops.
DOWNLOAD: Young Lords - Rodeo Songs

One of the most honest interviews we’ve ever read was an Oasis (we know, right?) interview from the time their last record came out. In it, Liam Gallagher talked about the fact that, after years of rock ‘n’ roll extravagance and beyond-pompous behavior, he realized that his band was, along with being one of the best rock bands of the ‘90s, a “’60s nostalgia band”, and that’s where their strength lay. For some reason, that quote popped into our heads while listening to “Rodeo Songs” by the Young Lords, the New York quintet who craft ‘60s-inspired tunes paying homage to early Rolling Stones and Kinks. It's a perfect tune if you’re heading down to Austin this week. Road trip!
