WEIRD TV


WEIRD TV sound like they are from the Pacific Northwest - dirty fuzzed out rock with a snotty singer who sounds equal parts Cobain, Zapata and Crash (Kurt, Mia and Darby, respectively). Aside from the ill-advised version of "Gloria" - a song that is right up there with "Sonic Reducer" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" on the "Don't Do That" list - these tunes have the perfect mix of grunged out 90s post rock and new millennium art soaked punk. I think that WEIRD TV could easily venture into unpleasant hipster territory on future releases, but for now I stand firmly in their camp. Oh...they're from Olympia, so I guess that Pacific Northwest supposition was pretty spot on.

WORD, NERD!
Thanks, just heard about this. Have you heard iceage? Their record 'New Brigade' is brilliant - but it also has that feeling like they'll be going indie rock sooner than later. Early Deerhunter was pretty much noise punk and now they're the Beatles, apparently. It happens.
