Its infrequent that I post up sampler albums from labels, but also it is uncommon for me to get one filled with so much great garage rock. Jeffery Drag Records really has its shit together and has co...
One of my favorite things, while flying into or out of a city at night, is imagining all the music being made down there. At that exact moment, while flying out of New York or Seattle or wherever, is...
Thanks to the reader, Dr. Bill, that sent me an email alerting me to these guys. Best I can figure is that this is a Maryland based group that way into making lo-fi music. Wouldnt call it noise rock,...
Lightning Slim (often billed Lightnin Slim) was a blues musician born in St. Louis but ended up in Michigan working in a foundry when not playing. This is a posthumous compilation of some of his song...
Theres no debate that a tomato straight off the vine tastes monumentally better than those from the supermarket produce aisle. In the same vain, music straight from the "bedroom" carries with...
Ive gotten enough split EPs in lately Ive decided to make them into a post of their own instead of throwing them into the EP Grab Bag (cause even at my ideal bimonthly rate theres more than I can rea...
So Ive mentioned Nolan Strong & The Diablos before, went so far as to share the compilation tribute album of their songs. However, I didnt share their music itself so far as it took me a minute t...
Summers in eastern Canada last maybe 2 months on average. A lot of folks in the states wonder how people can deal with so much cold throughout the rest of the year.... I say, thats easy... you wear l...
A two-piece band from Spain that plays some cheerful instrumental post-rock. Sometimes I wonder if my decline in listening to post-rock is simply because much of it feels brooding or worrisome even w...
A garage rock band that originated in Warsaw, Poland but now living in London. Theyve got a lo-fi punk sound that conjures recollections of the Stooges. Damned near the whole cassette is fuzzed out a...
Sorry about taking so damned long, but I finally got the time to plow through all these EPs. To be had here: Stolen Girls - The Girls Cant Help It! (2012)A new band with the previously featured ...

A couple months ago, Antarktikos wrote a review for an awesome Canadian band called Each Other that Ive really been digging on. Its been frustrating that their output is limited to one EP and on...

In 1994, Green Day opened the flood gates of what, for years, would be a rebirth for the punk genre (via MTV) with a resulting commodification of the culture. Soon the hallways of my high school were...

Emo, thats something I dont think Ive ever broached on Spacerockmountain. The vast majority of anything that could be called emo music is outside my tastes, but I grew up in a place and time when onl...
Wet Paint DMM are a now defunct Seattle 3-piece who are too good to not share with you, though Im having difficulty describing their sound in a non-convoluted way. I keep wanting to say "deconstr...
Now I am perfectly cool with listening to ambient music. It is far and away the bulk of what Ive gotten submitted to the blog lately. It does sometimes make it hard to break apart the different album...
This years music issue from the Oxford American came out in March. My brother gifted me a copy for my birthday, just as he gave me last years issue that compiled Alabama musicians. As the title indic...

I attribute my affection for garage rock to being a jaded and ornery 30-something. By the time some reach this age, the idealism of the late teens/early 20s mindset is a once vibr...
Been a minute since I got a chance to post up a group of EPs. Got caught up with the celebrations and necessary family visitations surrounding my birthday. Plus that much beer flowing is hardly condu...
