DrOgres i mean.. c'mon Favorite track: Smallpox Champion (Albini Session).

Grubo Love hearing Albini's raw and aggressive recording style on my favorite Fugazi record Favorite track: Facet Squared (Albini Session).

Mason Pond fuuuuck, finally the demos for this album. I petition that fugazi should release all the demos from every album and song.
Facet also sounds really good played slow and heavy. Favorite track: Facet Squared (Albini Session).

bcoleman3 The Velveteers have taken their brand of alt-pop-rock savagery, polished it to a perfect mirror finish, shattered that mirror into a million jagged shards and assembled them into the most seductively mesmerizing sonic disco ball of sound Favorite track: Bound In Leather.

mattgraupman The Black Keys used to be all scuzzy (and way more awesome) but their albums, Dan Auerbach's production, and the whole Easy Eye roster have all continued to get slicker and slicker throughout the years. Not so much The Velveteers, though. "A Million Knives" is even grittier than their debut, with thick slabs of guitar and pounding drums. The label could use more of their rebellious attitude. Favorite track: On And On.

mrbungleswildride This song has power, energy and passion ripping through it. The ethereal voice floats over the drums and guitar - dragging you in and down. When as you crawl up, you are changed inside & out for all the right reasons. So, yea. I liked it. Favorite track: All These Little Things.

marcadelic Just saw these guys last night in Seattle. Incredible performance. I didn't know any of their material, and they just blew me away. Great energy, great command of the sound, and the whole room was under their spell.
