*** HORSE FUNERAL exclusive song premiere ***

HORSE FUNERAL
"Sazerac Drinker"
exclusive album/song premiere
For fans of: Usurp Synapse, Missouri Executive Order 44, Aim Of Conrad and Lower Automation

Bandcamp
(becomes active upon its July 31st release)


     HORSE FUNERAL are a math/sass band operating out Little Rock, Arkansas. Their email was the first I've heard of them but when they cited: Usurp Synapse, Febuary, .GIF From God, Terry Green, Euclid C Finder, Nerver, Antioch Arrow, The Locust, and generally from the 90's San Diego scene, Gravity Records, and 31G as influences I immediately dug in whilst salivating.

     I was tempted to premiere "Casket City" because it's the best track, but as it is partially already out there in various promo videos I'll stick with penultimate track "Sazerac Drinker", which leans a bit more to the screamo side while the former mixed in a lot of noise rock ala fellow Illinoisians Lower Automation. This track is fire and the mixture of drunken sassy rambling alongside piercing screams is awesome. They 've already booked a two day run in August, and are planning on touring further afteward. The debut record release show is planned for July 31st with tapes coming from texasheartusa and cds from Vamonos Records.

*** PODCAST #199 Paul (Persistent Vision, Perpetual Motion Machine) ***


    I was always a huge fan of Perpetual Motion Machine, so when I found out that the new incarnation Persistent Vision was doing great things I began following them closely. They've released a ton of awesome stuff since 2023 and with an upcoming...thing happening with Paul and the label I figured it was high time to have him on. A few choice things discussed: skate punk, everything after page 98, band t-shirts are the best introductions, Paul makes me upset, creating/running Perpetual Motion Machine and playing in Operation Latte Thunder, Sweat Lodge and Wilderness Medicine, the screamo dead years, a top five best word, Dark Days Bright Nights festival, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Assfactor 4, Ecorche, Heiße, Planesmistakenforstars, and Torches To Rome. Listen to podcast #199 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
