MUSIC

Rudyard's presents Black Congress * The Men (NYC) * Weird Party.

 Black Congress - Impossible to describe through cheap comparisons to other bands, BLACK CONGRESS' 2nd EP is nothing if not noise fighting reverb fighting feedback. Underneath this wall of sound is an actual competent band playing some of the harshest music that Houston has seen in a while. Just don't tell Roy they sound like the Jesus Lizard and everything will be OK.

The Men (NYC) - The Men yes, “The,” are a four-piece post punk outfit from Brooklyn, NY. Their catalog, which began in 2008 with a hand-dubbed self-released demo cassette, has grown to include two LP’s—We Are the Men and Immaculada —two more tapes, and a 7-inch. They have toured three times, played over 75 shows and have grown a following of die hard fans crowding into living rooms and basements throughout the five boroughs, desperately trying to see them. The Men have been described by Mishka as, “more composers than musicians.” They have breathed new life into the genre of hardcore and created a seminal album that is truly for punks of all ages.

Weird Party - Why the fuss about a band yet to play a show debuting songs on a college radio show? For one, Weird Party’s pedigree is hard to*&^% with: helmed by (former?) Fatal Flying Guilloteens frontman Shawn Adolph and featuring once-and-future members of Sugar Shack, Muhammadali and Welfare Mothers, they’ve earned the right to at least some of the hype they’ve been generating. - 29-95.com
