Liquor Store - Yeah Buddy 2xLP / CD
Sarim Al-Rawi started Liquor Store with friends from northern New Jersey, presumably to start trouble and mess with people at shows under the guise of being an Internet legend on Terminal Boredom. He used to play drums in Titus Andronicus, Home Blitz and Live Fast Die, where he eventually moved up to guitar. But as the other bands in his social orbit — TA, Real Estate, Ducktails, Big Troubles — began to attract critical attention, Liquor Store took a cue to look elsewhere, and started to make Rock Music with initial caps, borne of suburban bounty and room to rage. Once you get the obligations to society and one’s fellow man out of the way, you can pretty much write your own ticket. Yeah Buddy personifies that attitude. They’re the best band out of that whole scene by a comfortable distance.

The Prefab Messiahs - Franz Kafka 7"
"1982 Wormtown Vault Extraction", or so Almost Ready says. How are we, the record buying public, supposed to keep up with the "brains" behind the Almost Ready and Last Laugh labels? Bahhhh, I give up. PREFAB MESSIAHS play a fun brand of '80s garage pop, too smart and enthusiastic for paisley or Beatle boots (I see two members wearing sandals on the sleeve!). Seems like the most suitable reaction against hardcore punk imaginable, turning towards '60s garage psych and giving it a go. A really fun "fuck you" of a garage record."

Liquor Store - Free Pizza 7"
As of press-time New Jersey’s Liquor Store boasts six guitarists (at least five of whom definitely can not be heard on these two songs) and a front man who looks like he should be working at one of those chop shops outside of Shea Stadium in 1986. Stoopid with a capital “O,” the Store is a non-stop fire sale/boner party for those of us who felt “Surfin’ Bird” was a little too deep. I know “trash” gets thrown around these parts regularly as a descriptor, but man, Oscar the Grouch meet your new favorite band. The A-side, “Free Pizza” is exactly that; there’s no one who doesn’t like free pizza, but there’s only one band who decided to write a song about it (and you know what they say, even the worst ‘za is pretty good). Snooze you lose, Peter, Bjorn & John. The flip, “Trash Sandwich (Parts 2 & 3)” sams and shams and more than lives up to its title. The white sleeve and generic label are perfect, as these guys give you exactly what you need (songs about food) and not a drip more. Liquor Store just might be the worst band in the world, but they’re the best worst band I’ve ever heard.

The Pink Noise - Alpha 12" LP
Alpha runs it's 25 minutes like a drug addled time warp hell bent on uniting the long distance love affair between the 70's No Wave scene on the east and the west's Synth-Punk. While it sticks to a mostly unrefined and visceral milieu that channels everything from Arto Lindsay and James Chance to the Screamers the album has a softer, more accessible undercurrent... that whole 'Pop' side of Noise-Pop.
