Here’s a nearly un-Googleable band from Sweden called GROWTH that Tumblr user UrbanKill turned me onto yesterday. Dirty, slow and venomous garage poison that he compared to Little Claw, which I don’t see any reason to argue with.

This came out on Bandcamp at the very end of 2012, and like I said, other info is nigh impossible. Who out there can tell us something about GROWTH? Because this thing just made me erupt in hives.

The latest SAVAGE DAMAGE DIGEST, published out of the San Francisco Bay Area by one Cory Linstrum, has just been read cover to cover in our offices (actually on a plane from Oslo to San Francisco yesterday).

Terrific work by a true music obsessive. The cover story’s a deep dive into ‘77-’78, gear, the SF & LA punk scenes and more with guitarist Greg Ingraham from The Avengers. If I had a massive, unchecked ego, I’d tell you that it’s an excellent complement to our own interview with Chris D. of the Flesh Eaters that graces the cover of Dynamite Hemorrhage #1.

SAVAGE DAMAGE also has a probe into the career of Larry Wallis (Pink Fairies, Deviants etc.); a brief and fairly unrevealing piece w/ one of the McDonalds from Redd Kross; stuff on The Speedies and The Mechanics and a few others things I’ll admit I’m not too familiar with. And that’s good, for the mark of a great ‘zine is true navel-gazing obsessive-compulsive mania toward weird and ignored music. Kudos to Cory and the whole SDD team.

Was surprised to see a copy of 8-TRACK MIND for sale the other day at Needles and Pens in San Francisco. I never got too worked up about 8-Track tape nostalgia, given that it’s easily the worst musical format of all time, so I’d never owned a copy of this 90s/00s fanzine before. That might have been a missed opportunity, because for a buck or two or whatever I paid for the new one, I got an edifying dose of a classic “fanzine” in every sense of the world.

Picked this one up because of a series of interesting think pieces about the resurgence of analog formats – LPs and cassettes primarily – and what the hell that means in 2013/14. It’s a real good set of reads. These are the true, unabashed defenders of the vinyl and tape faith, arguing their case with logic and passion – and now, with legion of twentysomethings and their buying habits to back them up.

I think you can probably get in touch with editor Russ Forster here and order one if you’d like.

Who out there hasn’t heard Ike & Tina Turner’s amazing 1970 b-side ode to drug parties called “Contact High”?

I sure hadn’t, until my pal Anthony dug it out of a record crate in the 1990s, and proceeded to later cover the song in his band The Resineators a few years later. It’s the most straightforward “rock” song I’ve ever heard associated with either Turner, outside of Ike’s early raw instrumental stuff at the dawn of the 60s. I think you’d better have a listen if this isn’t already part of your collection.
