There's a dude named Mark up in Sacramento who knows warped punk. He runs the Mt. St. Mtn. label -- which, in addition to releasing hot slabs of vinyl from the likes of the Sic Alps, Thee Oh Sees, and Intelligence, also distributes zines by my favorite local artist, Jay Howell. Anyways, reason I bring up Mark is the guy also has his own band, Mayyors, an outfit where he plays distorted bass in a maelstrom of distorted instrumentation. The tools poking yer ears here are of the buzzing, bloated, blown out sort, and they coalate in some deliciously dark skuzz. The band has no Web site/no MySpace, and yet word on them's spreading so quick they've sold outta their singles. So this nice blogger ripped the Mayyors songs into MP3s and is offering them for free download (with the band's blessing). Check out Megan's LOLZ + Marines Dot Com LPs. -- Jennifer Maerz
