Louisville punk/hc torrent site

Some of you may remember Matt Olsen who ran the Louisville Showcase site for years. He’s currently working on plans to provide an online repository of local music using torrents. He’s interested in compiling out-of-print releases by defunct bands, and then only with permission from the bands and their labels (if any). If you are looking to make your old band’s material available again to local people, get in touch with Matt and get more info on the project. His blog/site can be found at http://www.blackheva.com

New releases (april/march 09)

A lot of these are little bit outside LHxC’s normal scope or focus for one reason or another, but so what. Go whine somewhere else. Like… the message boards.

Millions (Chicago) has a new record dropping TODAY Yesterday on 7th Rule Records. Entitled “Gather/Scatter”, it’s 8 tracks of what you want to hear if you want to hear loud, abrasive rock. Wow, how much more fucking vague can I be? This is why I don’t write reviews very often. Anyway……  Vocals are belted out by Louisvillian Corey Lyons (SHP, Bodyhammer) which is why I’m posting it here (and because he is all over the forums). Great bass tones on this record, btw. Catch these guys on Monday, Apr. 6th as they swing through on their way back from tour. They’ll probably be here later in the year again after their Euro tour. Read the rest of this entry »
