Between hosting CMJ showcases with Impose, Art Fag, Gorilla Vs. Bear, and Yours Truly, DIY do-gooders at Brooklyn's Shea Stadium had the strongest line-ups across the board during the 5-day festival. Visit their website to hear full sets from Main Attrakionz, Bleached, White Fence, Acid Baby Jesus, Gauntlet Hair, and Dent May. Hear Trash Talk's set below. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
CMJ is finally here! While we couldn't be more stoked to present our own party at the New Museum this Saturday with Trash Talk, Eric Copeland, araabMUZIK, and Atlas Sound, among others, there's four other nights of music to behold. Read on to see the CMJ shows that you absolutely can't miss. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
Acid Baby Jesus' approach to failure is not to dwell, but to look back and laugh. In this cut from the Grecian quartet's self-titled LP for Slovenly Recordings, they espouse that wisdom over a raucous mixture of twanging guitars, proto-punk vocal coos, and a shuffling rhythm that keeps our stay in the garage short, sweet, and catchy. --Matt Sullivan, Altered Zones
Acid Baby Jesus' self-titled LP is out on Slovenly Recordings; catch them in New York during CMJ
--Previously
Acid Baby Jesus' "Hospitals" is a surf-inspired garage opus that's as heavy on distortion and delay as it is on vibed-out, chant-along vocals. In other words, exactly what you'd expect from a band hailing from the marble mothership of Western civilization: Athens "yogurt, not peaches" Greece. No? After comfortably treading in some insidiously catchy, guitar-driven waters, the track launches into a cacophony that will either suck you down to the ocean floor or leave you gazing at the shoes you've been tapping to the beat for the past two minutes. Lifejacket not included. Shout out to Rich Moms for the tip. --Ric Leichtung, International Tapes
