Joel Frieders

Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

One Song: Kauf - A Ruin

Joel Frieders | May 23, 2016
I fucking love Kauf. I fucking love how his songs sound like he dropped a metal bowl of slinkys and marbles onto a hollow wooden floor and then recorded the flitters and skitters and then records whispery sexy vocals over them and all of a...

Well Hung Heart - Touch the Sky

Joel Frieders | May 20, 2016
This fucking band bro... A few years ago, when we were first starting out with SYFFAL, Well Hung Heart was the only band that didn't seem like they were completely unaware of their image while at the same time actually cranking out music we...

One Song: Gang of Youths - Strange Diseases

Joel Frieders | May 19, 2016
Wait for it. Listen.  Shut the fuck up and listen you dick.  This is The Killers into a bunch of 30 Seconds to Mars crowd chants leading into some motherfucking Kings of Leon vocals and ALL I WANNA DO IS PLAY THESE AIR DRUMS LIKE IT'S MY ONLY FUCKING JOB!...

MARKS - Heartbeat

Joel Frieders | May 19, 2016
This MARKS track feels like one of those songs that plays while you're getting ready to go out and all you wanna do is the robot in the mirror. While I'm an admitted electro fanboy, this shit is Sunday morning coffee on the patio fucking...

Onry Ozzborn - Flee the Colony (feat. Nate Quiroga)

Joel Frieders | May 18, 2016
Goddamnit. This is my fucking soooooooooooooooooooooooooong. I had JUST gotten over the itch to listen to this whenever I headed into work and here they go dropping the visuals for it. So now my addiction to this fucking song is back front and center. Can we...

Thrice - Black Honey

Joel Frieders | May 18, 2016
I've hit play on this video six times in a row. This song reminds me of my sophomore year in high school, with its bar chords and denim jackets and dirty ball caps. I fucking love it. Nevermind the references to the bees bro, this song is fucking awesome. AND...

Moondog Matinee - Ghost Dime

Joel Frieders | May 17, 2016
So, yeah, let's move Moondog Matinee from the "bad ass record makers" column and now sit them astride the line between that category and the "kicks fucking ass live" column.  Holy fucking pipes. This dude sounds like the entire year of 1979,...

Album Review

Sykoya - Strange Night EP

Joel Frieders | May 17, 2016
Sykoya sound like you have your faux fur hood up. You're about to step off a train in some far off Eastern European country. It's snowing sideways. You're the only person walking the direction you're walking. Everyone else is a dirty piece of...

One Song: Hanging Valleys - Endless Wave

Joel Frieders | May 17, 2016
So Thom Byles is now Hanging Valleys. I don't fucking care. I'll call the dude Cupcake if he asked me to. Either way, DUDE DROPPED A NEW SINGLE AND I'M ALL THE FUCK OVER IT.  "Endless Wave" builds and breaks like an...

Funeral Suits - Tree of Life

Joel Frieders | May 16, 2016
Once I got past the image of a few of my own friends blowing their fucking brains out, this is actually a dope fucking song.  Sure, I don't totally understand the video. Sure, I'm a dick when it comes to glorifying or portraying the act of suicide for...
