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!

Daughter - Not to Disappear

Joel Frieders | January 19, 2016
I know nothing about Daughter. I know only what I've recently heard. But I know I know all I needs to know to know that they're all I've needed since the earth decided to turn my habitat all tundra on a motherfucker. The cold has been fucking...

One Song: Radical Face - The Road to Nowhere

Joel Frieders | January 15, 2016
I love being pleasantly surprised.  Wait. No. I love being unbelievably, undeniably, and perfectly in the right frame of mind in the right place at the right time to be in said frame of mind in the right place. (READ THAT AGAIN, YOU MISSED THE JIZZT.) This...

Audego - Side Effects

Joel Frieders | January 14, 2016
I don't know what it is about this woman's voice that kills me... What the fuck am I talking about? Of course I know what the fuck it is about this woman's voice that kills me. She flings and thwaps that fucking lilt around like a nine inch stiletto heel, it'...

Chase City - Don't Wait

Joel Frieders | January 8, 2016
No idea who Chase City are. No fucking clue. Alls I knows is that once the drums kicked in I was swaying both of my arms over my head and dancing around multiple piles of half-ass folded laundry like a fucking asscrumb.  Whenever you take a...

One Song: Thom Byles - In Your Blood

Joel Frieders | January 6, 2016

One Song: Wolffe - Trouble Ahead

Joel Frieders | January 5, 2016
This woman. This Wølffe. I don't completely understand what she's doin' to a motherfucker, but I've been interpretive dancing with this box of Kleenex for the last half hour with "Trouble Ahead" on repeat. Yes, I'm twisting and...

Brookfield - Cloud9

Joel Frieders | January 4, 2016
I remember last year at some point Tom told me about Amber Run, saying he knew I would love it. I listened, curse Tom's name, and then ended up loving it. But they had these three EPs they dropped and I hadn't heard any of them until they all had dropped, so...

Phox - Amor Fati

Joel Frieders | December 29, 2015
The best part about Phox is that Jake Gyllenhallz provides their craft services.  The other best thing about Phox, besides all of the sex, is that they're crafty and they're just my type.  "Amor Fati" is a mini...

Amycanbe - Grano

Joel Frieders | December 28, 2015
Whenever you find a band that, with every fucking song, makes you perform an interpretive dance where most people watching said interpretive dance can determine that you're a plant emerging from the ground and budding live in front of them, that band's a...
