Ponytail

Ponytail is an energetic experimental band from Baltimore. They often get compared to Deerhoof but I really don't think that makes enough sense. (although I love Deerhoof).
I'm not even sure if the singer, Molly Siegel, actually has any set lyrics to their songs but, ya know what?...I don't care.
They're fun!



also, playing Sonar in Baltimore November 12th! go!


Ice Cream Spiritual

Salome

Salome is a 3-piece (vox, guitar, drums) super slow super doomy metal band from Virginia.
I'm not usually a avid listener of this type of stuff.
But the vocalist Kat's screams and growls just get to me.



Playing the MarbleHaus in College Park November 16th, who wants to go?

Salome

Appalachian Terror Unit

Just when I thought the scenery was the only good thing about the state of West Virginia I came across the band APPALACHIAN TERROR UNIT.
Staying true to their name, they play straight out brutal ass hardcore punk. Their songs address a variety of issues from mountain top removal to the legalization of marijuana.




Armageddon won't be brought by gods, just men who think they are

Greenwashing

Made out of Babies

I admit that if Made out of Babies wasn't fronted by Julie Christmas (also of Battle of Mice) I probably wouldn't enjoy them as much. This band creates a sort of post-something or other sludgy metal sound with really haunting and weird vocals. Think The Jesus Lizard with a female singer.
