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: DOLLS + Fauxplay - JUST STOP

Joel Frieders | September 15, 2015
I won't bullshit  a motherfucker, I love me some DOLLS. Every song she sings sounds like something I'd only hear in an underground sex club where everyone's flogging everyone else and everyone drinks with their pinkies extended while wearing...

One Song: Doombird - Overflowing

Joel Frieders | September 14, 2015
I love knowing I'm going to love a song even before the vocal comes in. All I was crossing was my fingers, because if the vocals sucked I was going to demand an instrumental copy of this for sensual massages after I get out of my youth group meeting. ...

Love Dad: Get Your Shit Together - 6 More Things For Indie Artists to Remember

Joel Frieders | September 14, 2015
Guys, I don't like being an asshoel Joel, but I don't think most of you understand you're doing it wrong. I'm sure I'll come up with more after you assholes send in more music that's disgustingly packaged, but hey, here are another few examples of where you...

Oskar Schuster - Damascus

Joel Frieders | September 10, 2015
Whoever the hell Oskar Schuster is, I'm creeped the fuck out, my wallpaper is moving, and I'm relaxed as fuck. Peep this video for "Damascus", then ask yourself, "what the hell am I watching?" and then read Oskar's description of the video...

Foals - What Went Down

Joel Frieders | September 10, 2015
As a guy who prides himself in knowing a lot about what's going on in music, while remaining completely and pleasantly aloof, I can't really pinpoint my introduction to the band Foals. I feel like I know them pretty well, but my music...

One Song: Conner Youngblood - Stockholm

Joel Frieders | September 9, 2015
Who the fuck is Conner Youngblood and why am I braiding my chesthair seductively while standing up through an open moon roof while my driver drives me down a country lane littered with husks of corn and the occasional kernel?  Is it harvest...

One Song: Juan Deuce - You Right - Feat. DJ Mekalek (Produced by J57)

Joel Frieders | September 9, 2015
How come whenever I listen to Juan Deuce my shoulders push towards one another with my elbows and palms straight out towards my sides and I feel the need to wear longer gym socks? Is it the fact that he's my favorite Albanian circledancer? Is...

Love Dad: Get Your Shit Together - 5 things every indie artist should have already done

Joel Frieders | September 8, 2015
1. Know how to play music This seems sarcastic, I'm sure, but this is number one for a reason. If your cousin just got protools and you started messing around while slightly intoxicated and you came up with a hook for a song with no verses and no real way of...

Overhead, The Albatross - Big River Man

Joel Frieders | September 4, 2015
Overhead, The Albatross bro.  Normally I would be singing that and I'd have my arms out like a scarecrow and I'd continue with "hangs motionless upon the air" because I really, truly, loved the marijuana in me youth bro.  But this band? HOLY...
