*** PODCAST #187 Dollie Rot ***

    I've been diving hard into DOLLIE ROT's discography daily for the past few months, so I decided to fire a long shot and see if the Ann Arbor solo artist was interested in a podcast. Spoiler alert...she was. Not only that, but my label Softseed Music will be releasing her first two EPs on a cassette in October! The tape will house 'Survivor's Guilt' on side A and 'Mercy of the Gutter' on side B, and be limited to 100 copies, 50 for Dollie and 50 for Softseed. Keep the good news coming? Okily dokes, "Die a Drunk" was released just a few days back which you can check out here. A few things we discussed in this podcast: judgement from Wayne's World, genre hopping, the matriarch of the dark artist, pulled in a carriage through a magical forest, high school EPs, mom's laughing as an easter egg, screamo talk, Loss Of Life plug, future expansion, chainsmoking or growing up?, David Lynch movies, the future and Softseed Music, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Annie Eve, Holly Mae Henry, Katie Jane Garside, King Woman, Ostraca, and Roy Orbison. Listen to podcast #187 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.

     Sup y'all! This week's premiere is from the New York band CARE who play a ear-shattering mix of noise rock, screamo, and blackened grind. The single "D355A" comes from the six-song EP 'This is Just Survival' which is due out Aug 20th for the digital/physical release drop by BSDJ records, followed by some other tapes available through Mummified Gasp for US distribution. Check that sucka out below!

(2025) CARE "D355A" (from 'This is Just Survival')

     The third song of the EP detonates immediately with dirty/bassy instrumentals and some ridiculous drum work utilizing the hi-hat to a most excellent degree. The vocals drop in about 15 seconds in and are warbled, demented screams that absolutely annihilate the listener and remind me of early Usurp Synapse with even more bite and less restraint. The song itself disintegrates after 50 seconds and a repeating noise closes out the song until its 1:14 conclusion. Absolute brain melt.

     Another day, another sick premiere on OMSB! Today's feature is from the five-piece screamo band from Newcastle, Australia - DAISY CHAIN. Their four-song self-titled EP releases in full on August 27th and is a vicious ride through screamy hardcore with slight metal leanings, although I'd argue the rest of the EP dips more into screamo and post-hardcore than metallic hardcore (with "Betting" being my fave of the four). Cited influences include: Conation, Blind Girls, American Nightmare, Envy, Këkht Aräkh, Daitro, Elle, Ehncen, Sed Non Satiata, Love Like Electrocution, St Albans Kids, Saetia, Orchid, etc. This sucker was recorded, mixed, and mastered on Awabakal land, by Joe Andersons at Woodriver studios, Newcastle. Cover artwork: Ben Mills. Live Photo: Joe Andersons.

(2025) DAISY CHAIN "Pighouse" (from 'Daisy Chain')

https://youtu.be/l9q6BFCzmIo

     Opening with commanding bass and drums, the guitars soon meet up and push out the atmosphere until the 40-second mark when everything syncs up and the vocals drop in. The subsequent two-and-a-half minutes are a wild trek through intriguing leads, shattered screams, and genre-shifts galore.

Lyrics:

The pig I serve

Is myself 

From the people I hurt 

The pig I serve

From the mouths 

Of the people I hurt 

The pig here 

I serve

Lives to

The ends of the earth

The pig I deserve 

Live to 

The ends of 

The earth

Pigs live to the end of the earth

This pigs living to the ends of the earth.
