Genghis Tron - Board Up The House (2008)
Grindcore / Metal / Electronica
Those who do not abide the eardrum-rupturing squall of grindcore under normal conditions shall fall on worshipping knees before the aptly-named Genghis Tron as they molest guitar and sampler alike.

The Arusha Accord - Nightmares of the Ocean EP (2008)
Technical Metal / Prog
Not for the faint of heart, the music of The Arusha Accord is heavy like a calculus exam, and does justice to all those folks who like to compare heavy metal to classical music.

The Sound of Animals Fighting - The Ocean and the Sun (2008)
Experimental / Prog-Rock
Experimental supergroup including Anthony Green and members of Rx Bandits seizes eardrums with bombastic jams, scattered musical non sequiturs, tempered by jazz-like restraint. If you haven’t yet been introduced, say hello to the new Radiohead.

Jaguar Love - Jaguar Love (2008)
Punk / Indie / Noise
With his flair for surrealist lyricism and “Cedric Bixler getting a root canal sans novocaine” shrieks fully intact, whatever’s hurtling out of former Blood Brother Johnny Whitney’s mouth at any given moment becomes Jaguar Love’s main attraction.

Happy October
As you may have noticed, Three Star Smash is wearing its Halloween costume all month. We like October here.
The Undiscovered Country #1
There’s a ton of great music out there, eager and waiting to be listened to, just like the artists that create it. Sometimes it’s hard to get to everyone… especially if they haven’t done so much as release a proper album yet.
Here are some up-and-comers and shiny jewels waiting out there to be discovered.

Darker My Love - 2 (2008)
Psychedelic / Shoegaze / Retro Pop
Darker My Love seem to be set on recording a ’60s psych-rock primer for today’s indie kids and shoegaze holdouts: 2’s cloudy-behind-the-eyes lyrics, organ, and scuzzed out anthems galore will please fans of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and My Bloody Valentine simultaneously.

Watersigns - Watersigns (2007) [FREE MUSIC]
Rock / Instrumental / Technical
Hard-edged music theorists Watersigns forego a singer in favor of wandering guitar suites that toe the line between technical/math rock and pop repetition.

Jealousy Curve - …This Is For Your Own Destruction EP (2007)
Alternative Rock / Hard Rock / Indie
Jealousy Curve kick the living shit out of your speakers with a much-needed dosage of high energy hard rock that camps somewhere between Muse and Stone Temple Pilots.
