Albums Of The Year, 2012 Edition

I didn't get a whole lot of music from 2012 in 2012. Here are some of the music things I dug.

Mumblin' Deaf Ro - Dictionary Crimes (above)

Baroness - Yellow and Green

The Glimmermen - Satellite People (EP)

The Spook Of The Thirteenth Lock - The Brutal Here And Now

Mudbitch - Ready, Aim, Fire (EP)

Just noticed that 4 out of 5 of those are Irish. Glad that that was totally accidental. Most of the links here bring you to a bandcamp site. A brilliant way to buy music directly from the bands.

Large Mound with The Spook again...

Hahahaha. Oh did I laugh when I found this old poster from 2006 for my band Large Mound? It's like a demo of a good poster. General layout and idea is fine but the finish is awful.  I seem to remember wanting to do something about "'til death do us part" but come on, the heart isn't even lined up properly. Must've been a busy day. I do remember it as a great gig though.

Large Mound

New Large Mound poster. This Jason Frederick illustration is used on the inside of the new Large Mound album, Another Year Of Rock. For this poster I just rotated it and treated it in the same way as I treated another one of Jason's drawings for the cover of Another Year Of Rock. I quickly hand drew and scanned the band names and 'shopped the ol' paper trick. For a super quick poster that was really only meant for a facebook event page I like it.
