"...absolutely overwhelming and beautiful; a palette-cleansing barf mitzvah of the highest disorder.

Jazzy Joe Romita's Original LP solicitation
February 16th, 2006:
-----------------------------------------------------
Greetings Graft-O-Philes! Another New Year is a'dawning in this, the third Golden Age of SKiN GRAFT Records Over Mid-America. Now, in the year previous, your omnipotent anchor was accused of being a bit too haughty - a tad too supercilious - a trifle too overbearing in his reports of the happenings here at the outhouse of ideas. Yes, accusations flew that Jazzy Joe was drunk with power, his magnificence shining too bright for the more sensitive readers of his wondrous writings. Those naysayers will be relieved to read that your Jazzy One is still hung over from the glory of the previous year and has every intention of getting through this news update lickety-split. Nevertheless, future generations shall surely recognize the wonders your magnificent maestro shall impart on this go-round as nothing short of monumental, - and to pull the reveal sans hyperbole is an injustice that Jazzy Joe simply will not allow. So, with alka-seltzer at my side, let the dilly-dallying cease - ! Grab hold of your partner - eyes ahead - and - cue astonishment!
ITEM(!): AIDS Wolf's full length debut is upon us! SG's press magnet Charlie Nite has enlisted vivacious Vikki Warner for a seriously sultry solicitation this time out, so lets all join together and give it a read:
Freedom Summer is not a fleeting season.
It is a state of being, and it doesn't end when the weather gets cold. Freedom Summer is being on the road. It's being part of nature, snuggling with wild animals and howling naked, in the woods. It's the AIDS Wolf way of life: live pure, live hard, play music accordingly. It's not entirely voluntary.
The four members of AIDS Wolf, part band, part life-force warriors, are a harmoniously grating blare. They aim to play tight, but they're not always structured. They transform pure chaos into something you can convulse to, an indoctrination to their Freedom. The sound is agitated, driving, and filled with twitchy energy. AIDS Wolf have released a split 7-inch with The Fugue, and make improvisational music released "cassette-only", on a very limited basis. They have written a million songs.
AIDS Wolf's first full-length album, The Lovvers LP, has arrived. Presented by Skin Graft Records in a deluxe vinyl edition, wrapped in a fold-out 25" x 25" double-sided four-color silk-screened poster sleeve. Printed by Canada's critically acclaimed screen-printing outfit Seripop, "The Lovvers LP" is filled to the brim with mind-liberating graphic nourishment, the centerpiece of which is a revealing band centerfold.
AIDS Wolf recorded with Arlen Thompson of Wolf Parade at the 100-Sided Die, an art and music creation mecca they helped to build in their home city of Montreal. They are citizens of the world - and they tour it - stopping their Ford Econoline van frequently to gather wild berries and roll around in the grass.
Voted "10th most pretentious band" by the Montreal Mirror's readers' poll, AIDS Wolf are already known far and wide for terrifying, ear splitting performances that include improvisation, audience participation, freedom, truth, and biting. With no commercially available recordings available, the band has received an unprecedented amount of attention from the likes of the New York Times, Pitchfork, CMJ and the Associated Press, their output to date limited to demos and cassettes.
Start here.

A raucous adventure through noise, no wave, off-kilter DIY prog, and the absurdist side of post-punk from Pagan Athletes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2023
The racket avant-rock/noise group White Suns make is queasy and challenging, but with a taut sense of dynamics and composition. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 19, 2021
Psychic Graveyard are just so brilliant and clearly deranged but what I like about them is they sound like no one else, they like to push themselves into unwanted territory of trying different things. Saw them live recently supporting Metz and they were freaking awesome, off the SCALE Darknight
