If It's Too Loud...

Portland, OR's NEW YEAR are back with another dose of their heavy 90's infused rock. "What People Say" sounds a little cleaner than "Sundown" without losing any of the power of their previous song. It's less sludgy and has a little more of a 90's East Coast feel than a Pacific Northwest sound the previous song did. That's not to say that "What People Say" isn't filled with the remnants of early grunge from bands like Tad and Mother Love Bone, because it certainly is. But it also has some elements of Fugazi and Sonic Youth in here, so I don't think we could possibly be more on board for this one. You can listen to "What People Say" below. SO LONG  will be out January 29 on Inferior Planet. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp . SO LONG by NO YEAR

Based out of Portland, OR, NO YEAR are going to remind you a lot of the Pacific Northwest music scene from thirty years ago. Their latest single, "Sundown," is a heavy, sludgy mess (in the best possible way) of a song. It's not exactly grunge, but it's not not grunge? It sounds like if Dinosaur Jr had uprooted in the late 80's and moved to Seattle to jam with Tad and Mother Love Bone. It's a monster of a song, with occasional breaks in the heavy with some more quiet moments that are almost even pretty. The song clocks in at just under seven minutes, but it's such an epic it almost seems to go on forever. You can listen to "Sundown" below. SO LONG , the debut album from NO YEAR will be out January 29 on Inferior Planet. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp.  SO LONG by NO YEAR
