Three-piece band from Little Rock, AR employing a mix of various kinds of punk/hardcore, spazzed-out, robotic-sounding, speedy heaviness. Its sardonically political in spirit with a touch of the absurd in the lyrics. We have a minimal website with mp3s http://www.thethingthatalwaysexplodes.com. Myspace sux. Much more detail and better stuff is on that page.
The Thing That Always Explodes's Friend Space (Top 16)
4 bands Tommorow @ Circa 76 Records! 9pm Sunday may 10th
HELL-KITE (Tempe, Arizona) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFQpPL-jlAE http://www.myspace.com/hellkitemusic "The other Arizonian, Hell-Kite, a young woman named Ann Marie Philipp from Tempe with pleasantly "symmetrical bone structure, shared somber, minimalist songs, accompanied by her electric guitar and petite Marshall amp without a mic. It was like witnessing her play in her bedroom, and when her voice rose, the cry became tremulous and palpably intense, as if just hearing it was verging on invading her privacy."
Stephen Stienbrink of FRENCH QUARTER (Pheonix Arizona) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mgX6KvQ0yE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGoECcqJOrU It’s a relief not to be blinded by the sparkle of production, and to simply accept the drafty-room acoustics and dusty guitars. In the place of aural bling, there are spare moments of innovation, inadvertent field recordings, and a snare drum that sounds like a wet towel hitting the locker room floor. And when Steinbrink’s voice harmonizes with itself to create eerie intervals that make these songs something more than merely pretty"
VIRGINIA VOID (Little Rock) www.myspace.com/virginiavoid jenny Horton, Jake Pruett, and Rachael Choate kickin up dust, spittin in your drink, showing bubble gum through ttheir pants.
