Fake Your Own Death

“Fake Your Own Death played only their fourth show ever Friday night and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The music is a mix of Joy Division, Love and Rockets and The National with brief moments of Interpol thrown in. This three piece debuted songs from their forthcoming album to a sizable crowd Friday which was really great to see…My favorite track by FYOD sounds like it would fit really well on “Alligator” by The National. “Few Plus One” is a simple track, but one that packs a serious punch. And with lyrics like “Burning airplane/ which way to crash/ no message, no map/ you take the keys man, I’ll hide the stash…”, you can see quickly the comparison to The National, at least lyrically, is pretty spot on. Another sweet track is the rocker “Mouth to Speak” which features Brain’s favorite line “Your face, my fist…I haven’t been this excited about a local group in quite some time. Get to know them.” (Front Porch Musings)

Jetskiis

Comprised of members of San Francisco’s New Centuries and Send for Help, JETSKIIS brought their adversities to the studio to be forged into the new album Spraycation, recorded by Jeremy Black of Apollo Sunshine. During the recording sessions, JETSKIIS focused on texture and atmosphere to develop their Island Grunge sound. Blending polyrhythmic grooves and reverb drenched melodies, the songs swing from deeply laid back to aggressive and raw. A mixture of Roxy Music pop art and the Meters’ driving funk, Spraycation reaches beneath the surface of the compromised modern life to find glory and sublimation.

The Young Republic

Embracing old and new influences – from Dylan and late, Lennon-led Beatles to Pixies and Arcade Fire, with The Wolf conjuring up the sort of combustible commotion you might expect from The Raconteurs – The Young Republic’s subtle borrowings and hidden homages play out against a larger, intricately designed canvas that makes significant claims for a band whose time has come.
