DPT-002 ROYAL TALONS/BLIGHTER/BLEACHEDBLONDE TRIPLE SPLIT

So here is the moment some of you have been waiting for - The second DIE POP TAPES release! DPT-002 is a triple split cassette release with Colorado bands Royal Talons, Blighter, and BLEACHEDBLONDE. Royal Talons, featured here a handful of months ago, is a three-piece atmospheric sludge and doom band from Denver and their songs - nearly ten minutes a piece and the entire side A - are heavier than Rosie O'Donnell. They have put together some tunes to burn to, to drive to, and well...to fuck to. Seeing them live is also a great shoegazin' head-bangin' treat. Blighter, the first three tracks of side B, is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and this is their first time featured on DIE POP. A veteran presence in the Springs' scene, Blighter has finally pulled together some cash, popped in a studio, and released some decently recorded versions of a handful of their songs. Their tracks are a bit doomy, a bit sludgy, a bit jammy, a bit stoney, and a bit crusty. If you are down for anything relating to that, then we are sure that you will find Blighter's contribution to this split most excellent. Pulling the last leg of the track is the label's first band to release, BLEACHEDBLONDE. Despite the band's apathetic, loud, and trashy value of their first cassette, BLEACHEDBLONDE's  three tracks on this particular cassette lack a bit of luster. Though the bass lines are thick, the guitar riffs moving, and vocals full of hypnotic and absorbing noise, the drums are pushed back to a nearly inaudible volume and are very rudimentary. BLEACHEDBLONDE and DIE POP also have plans of a X-MAS split release with another Colorado Springs garage troupe, Cat Color - so if these tunes aren't hooking you, then wait for their redemption and new sound coming out in December. For all your true musos out there, if it not for BLEACHEDBLONDE, then get this one for Royal Talons and Blighter. It's a run of 150 and 6 USD; that includes international shipping! Use the bandcamp music player (located amongst these words) or our store to order. And for all you free loaders, did we mention there is a free download? Because there is.

ROYAL TALONS - S/T

Drink a bottle of cough syrup and light up before giving this one a listen. Royal Talons, a three piece from Denver Colorado, pour out thick and slimey doom and gloom that makes Seattle look like Arizona. So wear all of the black clothes you own, sit on your couch, close your eyes, and fly away. These gentleman just played with BLEACHEDBLONDE, The Conjugal Visits, and Knife Fight last Sunday and was it ever awesome. As these boys began their set, the tiny, dirty, glass shard abundant Cafe Carioca became packed with handfuls upon handfuls of Denver's finest boys and girls dry heaving in super slow motion or trying to give themselves head; in case you didn't know, that is a good thing and a compliment. Royal Talons are also on a Colorado comp-This Ain't No Cowtown-with all sorts of other musicians. You can check out that June 30th at Lost Lake. Because the bastards put their shit up all funky on bandcamp (probably due to the incredible length of each song), DIE POP has done you the pleasure of compiling them together and creating a nice little demo for you all to enjoy. The first track, the Scroll, begins with some flange'd out guitar, but do not put this one in the discard pile because at about the 2 minute mark life is given to the lonely guitar and it is accompanied by the other members. Then before you know it, you are stuck in an eight minute exploration of a fuzzy and heavy bass driven atmosphere. The second track (also the track featured on the comp), Robot Cities, will ring your ears for a solid nine minutes and it has some gnarly guitar work that begins 'round 4:45. Shark Skull, the next track, is an all around stellar representation of what May 21st might (more like might not) bring to the table; a sky melting earth shaking torrential apocalypse. The last two tracks, D-Day Spell and Western Path, continue the band's life-long-testimonial-style songs and put a larger emphasis on some poetic shouts of pain and loathing. Check 'em out, it's FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
