Monster Children

Last night TOY wowed a capacity crowd with their psychedelic rock sound at Oxford Art Factory. The exclusive show was apart of Bulmers Underground, a new music platform created to support up and coming British Talent.

TOY is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope whirl of basslines, entrancing muted beats and epic choruses that explode seemingly from nowhere. Much fuzzier than Deerhunter, more jam-inclined than The Horrors and far lighter than Slowdive if you haven’t heard their debut album I highly suggest listening to it now. TOY Soundcloud 

My pick of the bunch: Left myself Behind

New favorite Scottish group! Caught these guys last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It was horrible having to go to Brooklyn (God hates Brooklyn), but these guys made it worth the while. They’re on a 17-date US tour right now (including Lane Way Detroit), and after that they’re going to Sweden I think? Check here for deets. If you get the chance to see these guys–see these guys.

Punch The Camera is a bi-annual photography zine inspired by adventure, exploration, and open spaces. All things I personally am a big fan of. For the latest issue of the zine put together by Justin Parkhurst, I was lucky enough to be one of the photographers featured alongside Foster Huntington, John Kilar, Justin Parkhurst, Jim Mangan, Kevin Trageser, and Bryan Schutmaat. If you want a little taste of the wanderlust evoked by this book of photos you should pick up yourself  a copy right here.
