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!
Album Review
Saycet - Mirage
Joel Frieders | March 5, 2015
I've spent a good portion of my life driving. I'd say a large percentage of that time has been driving alone. BUT BRO, THO BRO. I'm not setting you up for a list of complaints about it, I'm merely illustrating that most of the music I love the most I love...
Album Review
Tall Tales & the Silver Lining - Tightropes
Joel Frieders | February 24, 2015
I've long held to the theory that there are certain intangible factors that far outweigh skill or technique in decided what music is 'good'. I've felt like there are things you can just feel about a recording that can make it truly great. I believe I can hear...

Band of Rascals - Held in Thought (Not By You)
Joel Frieders | February 23, 2015
I love it when I immediately don't hate something and then I look off into the distance and start writing my grocery list in my head and then I keep starting the song over and over and over until I'm completely fucking in love with it.
Band of Rascals...
Concert Review
Doomtree - 2/20/15 - Abbey Pub - Chicago
Joel Frieders | February 23, 2015
As a recovering musician who never really broke and never really played much outside of the Chicago and its suburbs bubble, I've played a half dozen venues around the area more than a dozen times. The Abbey Pub is one of those venues.
Amazing fish and chips....

The Naked Heroes - Tonight's in Your Pocket
Joel Frieders | February 4, 2015
The Naked Heroes was a band that Timmy Bakin' Bacon Baker was all into because he felt a strange sense of refreshment when they name dropped Max Headroom and referenced slap bracelets as a masturbatory aid and shit. I always kept quiet...
Album Review
In Tall Buildings - Driver
Joel Frieders | January 26, 2015
In Tall Buildings sounds like Matthew Sweet fronting Band of Horses meets Caribou, and then some really fucking cool space aged cell phone is ringing in the background, but you hear them all together and it's just the titties bro.
Seriously...

Jilk and Haiku Salut - Periscopes
Joel Frieders | January 23, 2015
I am not familiar with Jilk. But I am more than familiar with Haiku Salut.
Haiku Salut have been sending me instrumental music to skin poultry to for the past few years, and while I'm normally appreciative of...

Hooka Hey - Nasty
Joel Frieders | January 22, 2015
These past few weeks I've been on a JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN ROCK kick.
I've about had it with fucking synths. All of these "producers" pitching their shit as "about to blow" is driving me fucking insane. Don't even get me fucking started on rappers. And since...

The Cunning - Lonesome No More
Joel Frieders | January 19, 2015
Who the Fuck are The Cunning?
This band sounds like quarter drafts, wooden bowls of mixed nuts, a jukebox so limited it's only stocked with Merle, Cash and Orbison, and a bathroom with a trough pisser. It's everything you fucking need,...
