I know Post Pink from working with Crimson Wave and some of the other Baltimore bands I’ve worked with. Post Pink barrel through short punk numbers at break neck speed with hyper riffs and biting lyrics, it’s a short breath of fresh air that sounds great cranked in the car. Really looking forward to hearing…

Wildhoney – Your Face Sideways
I’ve been privileged to work with Wildhoney again, one thing I enjoy about working with artists on multiple projects is that you kind of get to know what to expect from each other. Discussing music in critical terms is as subjective and nuanced as discussing music in general so when you get to work with…
Expert Alterations – EP
I recently got to work on an excellent new EP by Baltimore’s Expert Alterations. I know Alan from Wildhoney whom I’ve worked with plenty of times (and rave about all the time) so I knew I was in for more great music. This self-titled EP is pretty easy to peg in the influences of The…
Wildhoney – Sleep Through It
Very happy to announce the new Wildhoney LP “Sleep Through It” is now out and available via digital (vinyl is coming real soon and this is one to have on wax). It’s one hell of a record too. I have had the extreme pleasure of working with this band through their EP’s and when they…
Wildhoney “Fall In” from upcoming LP
Worked on this wonderful record Wildhoney has coming out early next year. Here is the first track off of it. I’m excited for people to hear this one, they made something special here and I’m glad they asked me to be a part of it. Go see them live too, they are the real shoegazing deal!…
Crimson Wave – S/T
I had a blast working on this 3 song EP by Baltimore’s Crimson Wave. I popped these tracks on and immediately got taken back to my high school daze of listening to Belly and Throwing Muses on a daily basis. Breeders, Pains of Being Pure at Heart and some Aisler’s Set all apply here. The…
Jail Solidarity – Pretty Good Privacy
Worked with DC band Jail Solidarity on their debut EP coming out on Accidental Guest Recordings. Their sound is nice and sludgy / heavy, reminds me of early Swans while some areas reminded me of Flipper. I feel like it’s often really easy to peg a band like this into easily saying they’re hardcore, but…
CP/M 7 Inch
Worked on this fantastic sludgy / heavy 7 inch from Baltimore’s CP/M (gotta love that name). Lot’s of slow cranked riffs on this one and they also did a fantastic split with another killer Baltimore group Birth (Defects). Standout track is definitely INTL with it’s evil march-like cadence but both tracks feature the bass as…
Wildhoney Brooklyn Vegan
Wildhoney’s new EP Over and Over got featured this week in Brooklyn Vegan with spring tour dates announced too. Be sure to catch them if they are coming in or around your town. “Baltimore’s Wildhoney are unabashedly flying the early ’90s shoegaze flag, recalling not only the obvious UK influences, but also their American compatriots…
Wildhoney Over & Over EP
I had the pleasure of working with Wildhoney again on their latest EP, Over and Over. The single, Seventeen, is catchy as hell followed by two extremely strong cuts. There are a lot of great things going for this Baltimore band; they have a great sense of pop song writing and dynamics play a big…
Roomrunner’s Ideal Cities makes a Rolling Stone top 20
Congrats to my buds Roomrunner for making Rob Sheffield’s Top 20 Albums on Rolling Stone this year! Very cool news. -> 15. Roomrunner, Ideal Cities Full disclozh: I am sometimes (and 100 percent justly) mocked at the Rolling Stone offices for how much I heart the Nineties. When MTV did a Beavis and Butt-Head reboot a couple years ago, my…
Roomrunner Ideal Cities
Had a blast working with Roomrunner on Ideal Cities. This is a really cool record, super loud and super driving, it’s always a pleasure working with them, glad I got a chance to do it again. Stream the entire album over at Spin. [soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/80852597″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]
Wildhoney 7″
Just finished working with a great band out of Baltimore, Wildhoney. They have a sound that reminds me a lot of early Slumberland and Teen Beat, and of course Sub Pop era Velocity Girl. Looks like this 7″ will be coming out this summer, but they have a cassette at the moment. Stoked! [bandcamp width=100%…
