Alright, after a week’s break to take care of some personal stuff it’s time for a double-feature Jaffa Recommends!
First up,
Jaffa Recommends - Festimi Emimi
I remember first hearing about the two-piece Festimi Emimi on some myspace group board thing or whatever. The title was “ATTENTION ALL HOMOPUNX” and, so, of course I gave them a chance.
I have a special place in my heart for lo-fi recordings. As much as we’re now used to highly polished recordings, expecting so much out of even small band EPs, it’s bad ass to hear a band just hit record on a cassette player and jam the shit out of a song. It’s rad, it’s raw, and it’s totally queer.
Any fans of blast beats, street punk, or plain lo-fi should check out their EP which is now available (tape only) for two bucks (”or a nice trade”). Check out their site or myspace for more detail.
And now for a band that I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while now, and can’t explain why I haven’t already. I dig this band a lot:
Jaffa Recommends - Hey There Cowboy!
Formerly Central Standard (very recently changed their name it seems), this band is just outright fun. Very tongue in cheek approach to their music and lyrics. I love it so hard.
I’ve pretty much said all I need to say about this band. Their music is fun and awesome. Check them out. Man, I feel like I’m coping them out in this review. But they are amazing, and that’s all there is too it.
