DOWNLOAD: Wavves - So Bored
.jpg)
This woozy, low-fi track perfectly describes lackadaisical teenage boredom in sunny suburban So Cal and the requisite hash-smoking-from-a- Red-Bull-can that comes with it. Defiant, hazy beach punk, it would have blended in perfectly in the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack. Like most of Wavves' tunes, "So Bored" sounds like it was recorded from a live session on a transistor radio onto a tape deck; its rogue grittiness is half the thrill. Nathan Williams, the singular phenom behind Wavves, (who also runs the rap blog, Ghost Ramp), will be an ubiquitous figure at year's Austin festivities - he's playing 9 shows in 4 days.

DOWNLOAD: The Mint Chicks- Welcome to Nowhere
The Mint Chicks have attitude- feisty and furious at all times- whether on-stage or off. Um, to give you a perspective, that shot is of the lead singer hanging from the bars above a stage in Auckland. So we're considering ourselves lucky that the all-male noise/powerpop/punk/ band recently moved from New Zealand to Portland, Oregon. The song "Welcome To Nowhere" has ska-punk energy before it receeds into dark, metal distortion mid-song. Warning: If played loud, it may kill the cat.

Putting a Euro dance shine on a noise punk song might not be easy, but Acid Girls have found a way. HEALTH are coming out of the same LA scene that has birthed acts like No Age and Mika Miko, and their song “Triceratops” is becoming an anthem of sorts. The guys over at DiS are really into it and posted a few Acid Girls remixes of the joint. In a way, HEALTH’s songs lend themselves well to electrobanger remixes as all the aggressive beats and riffs are already present in the music. Add a bass line and voila! Instant dancefloor.
