SIDS Xmas single!!!!? on Rob's House


Just got an email from Trey at Rob's House about this new one from SIDS...
So happy and shocked to hear they're still active after being flung around the country for various reasons, and cryptic myspace messages. I kind of was fondly remembering the ghost of SIDS past...but a Christmas single?!!!!
Well I couldn't be happier then to buy myself a little something to put under the tree.
The packaging promises to be amazing, but even more importantly I can't wait to hear where these tracks are going to go.
One of my favorite bands that I'm still working out exactly what it is to the sound.

I sat down to take a listen to their other singles again and they sound just as good. I keep wondering with this kind of genre, the synth nightmare. There's not a hint of low fi in this...unlike Blank Dogs or something, that is like that hazy dream nightmare. This is rocking right out in front of you in the middle of the street. You went out to get the paper and 1,2,3,4 the explosion starts and you just drop everything and stare.

rhr048 SIDS - xmas single another knock-out 7" from SIDS [http://www.myspace.com/suddeninfantdeathsyndrome]. its still driving punk rock done with keyboards but this time its also a creepy xmas record with bells. in typical SIDS fashion, it come wrapped in amazing packaging, just in time for xmas (hopefully). [300 pressed; clear vinyl] side a: winter. side b: awake all night. ------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

100 copies went to the band so we only got 200 for sale. super limited but assuming it does well (why wouldnt it?) we'll probably end up repressing it for xmas next year.

available now at www.robshouserecords.com

Those blood red 7" shoes


blood red shoes
its getting boring by the sea

A. Its Getting Boring By The Sea
B. Box Of Secrets

Pre-order now to recieve a LIMITED EDITION SIGNED COPY and bonus sticker!


I keep going back to check this band out and everytime I really like them, the franticness, the repetitive guitar.
I don't think this track 'It gets boring by the sea' is the best, compared to some of the other tracks on their myspace, but you get a signed copy for 2 pounds? Nice.
2 person bands always get me, I like the collaboration aspect, and the forced minimal sound. Here they sing together like Mates of State, they have that yelling back and forth energy. Maybe with 2 person acts they have to try harder, they are really trying to rock the hell out of it. Get every last note in... I also kind of hear a Young Marble Giants influence here? Anyway, every time I'm not sure if this still hold up, it does. I just can't get any of these in the US....

SID just commented on the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome post about their show at [ SILENT BARN ] aka Raven's Den aka Club Krib 915 Wyckoff Ave, soon, I don't know when... thanks cardboard cutout SID I am totally there.
Goodnight records is in Brooklyn now also....and brooklyn is better for it.

Now I'm going to try to get tickets to see wolf parade at warsaw....good luck.
