Devils Teeth – “Ride of the Devils Teeth”
Next month, Milwaukee’s Devils Teeth will release their second full-length, called La leggenda di Chong Li. The album was self-recorded, primarily in a barn that was converted into an art space, resulting in a unique sonic signature. On this record, the band continues to advance their distinctive brand of rock ‘n’ roll, which incorporates elements of punk, surf, garage and more. Devils Teeth’s lineup consists of guitarist/vocalist Jon Hanusa, bassist/vocalist Eric Arsnow, percussionist/drummer Chuck Engel, and saxophonist Caleb Westphal. Check out the video for the album’s first single below and pre-order the record via Triple Eye Industries here.
High Priests – “Control”
Last month, Chicago’s High Priests released their debut album on Triple Eye Industries, called Spinning. The trio features Mikey Alesi, (vocals/guitar) Justin Gutierrez, (bass) and Mustafa Daka, (drums). Collectively, they’ve played in or currently play in bands such as: The Brokedowns, Wide Angles and Post Child. Recorded by Joe Gac, (Meat Wave) and mastered by Justin Perkins, the record does an impressive job of balancing the group’s inherent rawness with an appropriate amount of polish, thereby allowing the intricacies of the arrangements to really standout. When asked about the recording process, Daka said “I’ve recorded with Joe so many times over the years. He’s who I want to continue working with because I feel he gets better every time and he’s already amazing.”
We’re streaming the album’s opening track below, “Control,” which exemplifies the band’s fierce interpretation of contemporary noise-rock. When speaking as to how they typically go about songwriting, Daka said “Mikey usually comes in with a song and I beat my brain up a little to figure out any of his weird timings. Then Justin and I figure out parts that we think best complement what Mikey’s written and eventually they end up all being fun songs to play.” Take a listen to “Control” now and purchase the record here.
