Garage Is Over: The Cutting Edge of S.F. Rock Is Now Hard and Angry
The first and only time I saw THE SPITS was in 2003 in Seattle, having never heard nor heard of the band before this time. I wrote them up (and partially defamed and mocked them in the process) on my old blog Agony Shorthand, and was absolutely delighted when one of the band members got into a pissing contest with me in the comments section. So fun. Alas, those comments disappeared years ago.
Just so happens I glommed onto the band in the intervening years, truly discovering that they were an active punk rock powerhouse in 2012, when I wrote up this review on my other (still active) blog The Hedonist Jive.
Last night, I saw ‘em play for the second time at The Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco, from whence this 11-second video originated. Total blast. I threw all intelligence to the wind, dropped my knuckles to the floor and let it rip. I didn’t stagedive nor get into any fistfights, though others did, and why the hell not. Excellent ripsnorting 60-second robot punk, one right after the other, and worth almost every second of opening-band suffering/bleeding I had to endure to get to them.

Gerard Cosloy’s 12XU label and distribution arm are distributing Dynamite Hemorrhage #1, and had these nice things to say about it in their online catalog:
Superdope’s Jay Hinman returns to the print zine wars to find almost all of his old contemporaries retired (ahem) and new hopefuls few & far between in the blog/tumblr era. So what better time to launch a smart, critically-minded, 68-page rock/literary zine as keenly focused on the crucial shit from days of yore as the quality happenings circa 2013/14? If have any idea how much it costs to print & ship this sort of thing, this time is almost certainly NOT NOW but full credit to Mr. Hinman for throwing caution to the wind and getting his hands very dirty just the same.

DWARVES cassette from the late 1980s, as they were embarking upon their amazing transition from 60s paisley freaks to full-on, blowout punk rock freaks. They were absolutely mind-melting for about a year around this time.

One of our New York City correspondents took this furtive “hidden camera” photo on the Downtown 4 Express subway of a lucky, clued-in music aficionado reading Dynamite Hemorrhage #1.
If you’d like to be just like this smart, undoubtedly good-looking person, ordering details are here.
