Two Short Reviews. Good Shoes - The Photos On My Wall (Single) ...and... Psychic Ills - Early Violence (Album).

Good Shoes - The Photos On My Wall:

Sketchy guitars – check. Vocals/delivery akin to various 70’s post-punk bands – check. Cheeky lyrics – check. Less than two minutes long – check. Nice little break a minute and a half in – check. Indie-schmindie – check. Nothing new then, but reasonably adept nonetheless; and it’ll please the scenesters – nice.


Psychic Ills - Early Violence:

If you like dense, lyrically sparse fuzz-rock with minute-long portions of feedback and slow, chugging repetition en masse that leave the overall impression that physical time and song structure are largely irrelevant, I recommend you consume this prelude to the current Ills material.
