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

Allusondrugs - Allusondrugs EP

Joel Frieders | August 19, 2014
Don't let the aeordynamics of my cool lead you to believe I didn't have a 90s grunge fetish bro. Along with the rock and roll of my dad's generation, the plaid shirted and solemn angst of Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots,...

Rob Sonic - Jesus Christ Super Tramp

Joel Frieders | August 15, 2014
My passion for Rob Sonic is constantly fresh. Not to be a dick, but I'm constantly reminded how fucking dope this dude is BY THIS DUDE, because I keep forgetting how fucking dope this dude is. I don't wanna seem like a bandwagoner, but holy...

Love Dad: August 12, 2014 - Life

Joel Frieders | August 13, 2014
Death is weird for me to begin with. I'm constantly reminding myself of the feelings I held after the last friend of mine killed himself. I was dismissive of any other explanation besides it being his fucking fault. I hurt from every fucking angle. When...

GITAR - Active Cultures

Joel Frieders | August 11, 2014
First song. At the 1:55 mark exactly bro. The fucking guitar solo FELL OUT OF THIS BAND BRO. The first time I heard that little feel fall from bro's fingering fingers my interest immediately went from "heh, deec" to "bro, I need to rewind 5 seconds to make...

Quick Fix: Rob Sonic Ft. Breeze Brewin - Not For Nothing

Joel Frieders | July 24, 2014
Rob Sonic confuses the balls off me. Because Roberto Sonic is poetically wriggleschmelting e'ethang the majority of the time, I have a hard time imagining this dude doing regular day to day tasks because of how insane this muthafucker...

Palemen - Shit Summer Mixtape

Joel Frieders | July 12, 2014
The best is ignoring your SYFFAL music submissions for four full months only to have 922 unread music submission emails and the fourth one you open has you fucking nodding like you were supposed to do so at the exact time you did so, so you did so to do so...

World Premiere: Minka - Jackson Pollack

Joel Frieders | July 8, 2014
If there's three things I love, it's many many swanky sass paintcakes splattered all up on the walls of a stuffy museum, and/or a deliciously subservient set of manface hairs in a tuxedo bro.  Thankfully all of these things, and more, are smooshed all over...

Kejnu - Centillion

Joel Frieders | July 3, 2014
Kejnu holds a special place in the syffal sternum bros. They were one of the first bands as a syffaler that I contacted and said “You don’t know who I am, but I found your music, and I want to tell you it is fucking amazing and I want to...

World Premiere: Duke Evers - Seaside

Joel Frieders | July 3, 2014
The first time I hit play on Seaside from Duke Evers, I assumed I was hearing yet another incarnation of some adorably/annoyingly folky Monsters & Men meets the Lumineers clones that have plagued our email inboxes since PR reps...

World Premiere: Blueprint - Perspective

Joel Frieders | June 24, 2014
Blueprint is not only a SYFFAL favorite, he's a gal'darn personal hero of mine. Crafting increasingly intelligent lyrics over beats that never cease to break new levels of badass in their originality and texture, Blueprint is...
