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!

Ancient Astronauts & Asphate - SUFFOC-HATE

Joel Frieders | September 3, 2015
"__________'s life was taken too quickly." I don't have much to say beyond I have no idea what to fix, what to fix first, or how to help beyond standing up when being told to sit the fuck down and yelling into my kids' faces that they are no more important...

Wild - Wild

Joel Frieders | September 3, 2015
This band Wild bug the fuck out of me. For a few reasons.  First and foremost, why is this shit being sent to SYFFAL? This is the most obvious Top 40 perfection I've ever fucking heard, there should be no "grassroots PR campaign" by the three...

Black Violin - Stereotypes

Joel Frieders | September 2, 2015
Holy shit. Talk about goosebumps.  There's nothing I love more than surprising someone by stomping on a previously held stereotype and simultaneously ruining and making someone's day. I've experienced my fair share of stereotypes as a tattooed white male in...

One Song: Astronauts, etc. - Shake It Loose

Joel Frieders | September 1, 2015
Ah fuck. This is fucking smooth balls.  While I wasn't sure if I was down with Astronauts, etc., I can now properly slap myself with the balls I just called smooth and start the relationship between their fingies and my side face holes (ears...

One Song: Volkova Sisters - Holiday

Joel Frieders | September 1, 2015
I have no idea what the fuck is happening around me but I'm simultaneously confused, aroused, and petrified.  Volkova Sisters are a SYFFAL submission that juuuuuuust rolled in this morning and I accidentally opened the link and the soundcloud...

Miracles of Modern Science - Lean On (Major Lazer Cover)

Joel Frieders | September 1, 2015
A few years ago me and Tom were covering a show at the Hideout in Chicago for a band called Saint Motel. The opening act was Miracles of Modern Science and Tom and I both agreed they were fucking awesome. They brought a classically original...

Balthazar - Thin Walls

Joel Frieders | August 31, 2015
Balthazar’s last album Rats was in my ears for a good six weeks straight because immediately following the first time I heard the song “Sinking Ship” I got all itchy and started wearing an ankle length trench coat and...

Benn Grim - Eat My Shit

Joel Frieders | August 28, 2015
I fucking love this dude. I spent the better part of Wednesday listening to a 15 second snippet on repeat on my cell phone since I couldn't find this song in full. Benn Grim sounds like the way I rap when I imagine I'm a rapper in my head...

One Song: Altered Tapes - Jamie xx - "Loud Places (Altered Tapes Rework)"

Joel Frieders | August 28, 2015
Altered Tapes just fingerbanged Jamie xx's "Loud Places" in a way I didn't think imaginable. While the track was already a loose shouldered "I'M NOT USING MY EYES ANYWAY" jam for me, I never considered hitting it...

Quick Fix: Blisses B Midwest Tour - Chicago! Kalamazoo! Delton!

Joel Frieders | August 26, 2015
Blisses B are one of the pi-bro-neers of the SYFFAL generation bro. For fuck's sake they covered "Hey Dude" for our Pop Cultures Collide series back in 2011, they should be knighted! Regardless, our bros who bastian the letter B are...
