FUN GUNS - LEMON DEMOS

Fun Guns is a three piece from Las Angeles, CA. They just self-released a 4-track EP demo (nothing as good as the DIY effort) and it's pretty slammin'. The first track, 'Swiftly, Idiot,' has a nice lazy surfin' blues feel with a familiar progression that you may or may not recognize from here or there. The next two tunes swing and groove with some classy 60s garage influence, but to be honest...song four - 'Calligraphy' - just might be a waste of 1:44 of listening experience; maybe it just doesn't belong on this release (four songs is A-OK) - you be the judge. These guys finish pretty strong with an oooo-ing and ahhhh-ing four chord slow jam. Also, as many of the artists featured here, Fun Guns has been gracious enough to let us have there blood, sweat, and tears for FREE. DOWNLOAD IT.




(LOOK! Some cute black kids with fancy fun confetti guns!)

PAPER - ENDLESS SUMMER

paper(the moniker of Ryan Robert Jacobs), is a from the glamorous and dehumanizing LA. Like so many other bands, paper put out a release on January 1st of this year, probably wishing to jump on some sort of second decade rock and roll era...at this moment they have managed to leak their music everywhere and have managed to get a write up or two here and there. Though the promise of instant fame and stardom with a New Year release has yet to set in for these gents, they did produce a nice sounding release. 'Endless Summer,' the ADHD influenced album, starts with a killer introductory track, revealing the short lo-fi crunch and reverb drowned sound that will accompany the rest of 'Endless Summer.' After continuing to listen to the remaining 12 minutes and 7 tracks(two of which were covers), it was decided that the band's merit will need to rest in their ability to create catchy noise/surf/blues/garage tunes for the sake of. The 'band' also put out a little avant-garde release in OCT 2010 titled 'pilot.' This release is a collection of music that was created by Mr. Jacobs All in all, paper is most definitely worth checking out. You can't talk shit about them if you never listened to them, so here is another FREE anthem for a 13 and 1/2 minute journey.
