Medication's Sacred Bones' bio: Mike Hyde has been cultivating private press style recordings since high school, and for the past few years under the handle Medication. What initially was a private endeavor went public in 2007 when a friend of his in Germany asked that he write music for a short film he was working on. At that point he started a myspace page as a means to play the producer works he had come up with for the project - mostly instrumentals and tape loops - but it quickly became more of a forum to post the other, more personal songs as well. The Medication recordings have all been a solo affair except for a side on a four tape comp, Judges Cave: The Hidden Sounds of New Haven, that came out in early 2010. The live band features Stefan Christensen who’s been in a bunch of Connecticut bands, most notably Estrogen Highs, and another a good friend of Hyde’s, Jon Vanduzee. In 2009 Medication released his debut full length on Hozac and then went on to tour in this incarnation of the band opening for The Dutchess and the Duke in early 2010. This new EP has songs Hyde has been working on for the last two years. They were all recorded on cassette four track (read: tape, not Logic) in his apartment in New Milford, CT.

Medication - Judgement Day by sacredbones

New London's Ferocious Fucking Teeth play fuzzed out stoner rock. Consisting of vocals, two drums, and two guitars, the chosen instrumentation is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this band's originality. Live, these guys lay on the heavy sonic assault that'll almost definitely cause equal parts smiles and slight hearing loss. Bring stuff to put in your ears, drink a couple before the set, and get up real close, this is going to be fun!



From Hozac Recs:
As raw and bitter as the north winds blowing off the Virginia mountaintops, we are proud to serve you a platter of new songs to ease the winter solitude with three impeccably satisfying noisy folk vibrations from Nerve City. As you may already know, Nerve City is one of the brightest home-recording projects that’s been exploding into a gripping live band, all the while holding a line of desperate tension and aggressive simplicity that climbs inside your skull within seconds and never really leaves. With a strong handle on jangling 60s guitar instrumentation and misanthropic melody, coupled with brash, shell-shockingly savage recording methods and songwriting that’s so far above its peers, it’s time you warmed up a spot in your withered soul for Nerve City before they blow up in your face.
