Punky Brewster + Bonding Males = Seksi Noise

So maybe you have been living under an ironic rock or lacking an active social life that includes all of the L.A. underground shows (I reside in both categories) and have not gotten familiar with the seksi London-native trio known as Male Bonding.
 [British seksi Betches!!!]

I am urging to you to awaken the angst-ridden, self-loathing punk kid in you so that you might become hyper-sensitized to their abrasively catchy tunes. It is difficult to categorize these fine fellows because although their noise driven album is primarily punk based there are still some surf pop elements. I really enjoy the distored and inaudible sounds in the beginning of "Nothing Used to Hurt" and the summer playfulness of "Pumpkin".  "Franklin" has eerie echoing voices coming form a tunnel and show a softer side of these cayoot foreigners. The entire album makes me want to kick myself for not catching them FOR FREE at my school the weekend of Coachella. To my defense I was trapped in the desert with a few of my favorite bandzsss 3v3rzzzz! I recommend to any music music lover to get cozy and bond with this band... they are kind of irresistible. Might I add that no song is over three minutes long meaning you can actually listen to them 10 times while driving back home from L.A. traffic (depending on where you live).


Also, thoughts on the video below? I love this song but for some reason the concept and tune seem to not exactly mesh well:



Looks of a complete hipster sausage fest to me. Who made this video? Looks like a cheap version of an Animal Collective album. I am out of the loop with the whole triangle movement overtaking many music artists' aesthetics?

About Me

My photo
Greetings, from me to you via cyberspace! My name is Karen and this blog was started in conjunction with my Digital Art 141 class. My creative background spans from my fascination with sustainability issues, urban design, architecture, and interactive art. I guess that I am no different than many college students in that I am not sure where my interior architecture major and women's, gender, and sexuality studies minor will lead me in terms of a career path. All that I know is that I am interested in exploring urban design work, advocacy and nonprofit work within underrepresented communities, and possibly starting my own green business. I hope to have a better understanding on design within different facets, including a digital medium because of this class. Hope you enjoy my future posts regarding art and other nonsense running through my head.
