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!

Pinstripe Pigeon Band - It's You

Joel Frieders | August 3, 2015
This video could be of a fucking static shot of my feet in a bucket of milk and it would still be the best video I've felt all day. Pinstripe Pigeon Band hit me right in the balls of my balls with "It's You", and as I mentioned in my...

Dirty Ghosts - Cataract

Joel Frieders | August 3, 2015
My passion for Dirty Ghosts is well documented here.  I love the fact that a female-led rock band is in my top five favorite bands, and not for chauvinistic purposes bro. Far from it.  Dirty Ghosts have pecked out this...

Magic City Hippies - Hippie Castle EP

Joel Frieders | August 1, 2015
I love EPs more than LPs for three reasons: 1. You get a quick snapshot into a band rather than having to attend their stupid fucking quinceanera. It's watching the Instagram feed pop up with just the awesome and none of the caterers putting out tepid vegan...

Wølffe - Shoot You Down

Joel Frieders | July 31, 2015
Oh SHICK RAZOR BLADES this makes me want to take off all my clothes, run into Bed, Bath and Beyond and climb up those huge towers of soft ass bathtowels and just shimmy my sweaty balls all over fucking EVERYTHING. Jesus balls on a baby blue buick with a...

Jason Isbell - Something More Than Free

Joel Frieders | July 20, 2015
A few of my friends on the softer side of life are Jason Isbell listening blokes. They're almost the typical Jason Isbell demographic: in their mid-30s to late-40s, white as Fuck, into country folk but they call it 'Americana...

Lo Noom - Groovy

Joel Frieders | July 11, 2015
If you are a musician and you've been "on that grind" as the kids say, or "about that hustle" as no one says, for any significant amount of time, this kid is going to piss you off. Seventeen years old and this dude's bedroom pop is already girthier than your...

Light Music - Ocean's Daughter

Joel Frieders | July 6, 2015
Never heard of this band. Never want to stop listening to this fucking band. Never want bands to not sound like this fucking band. Light Music sound exactly like Perry Farrell fronting Arcade Fire. But there isn't that...

Whale Bones - The Seaside EP

Joel Frieders | July 6, 2015
I fucking love this band. I love how raw and unfiltered everything sounds. I love how angry and virile and immature and fucking hopeful these fucking kids sound.  While five songs isn't a terribly lengthy barometer with which to judge a band's possible spot...

The feather - Rays

Joel Frieders | July 6, 2015
Normally, I'm completely against fucking lyric videos. Mostly because I think it's a lazy way to release a music video, but also because I don't give a shit about what the actual lyrics are. I'm a purist bro. If I think you said "take, these chicken wings,...

Nicsaan - Only Shadow (Cat Video)

Joel Frieders | July 2, 2015
Can we make this a thing? Can every song I might not get into via streaming audio-only link come packaged in a cat video? Nicsaan, you're a genius. Your cat is fucking awesome, and I have watched your video three times since opening your...
