Resumé is not only something Haddy Racks can present to all potential employers, it is the name of his brand new album, and it’s his first. From it is a nice cut and if you’ve been paying attention to the songs I’ve been posting from him in the last few months, you are sure to appreciate this one too so have a listen to “Take You Home”, which also features Evie Blanco and was produced by AListFame.

RECORD CRACK: The Rashida Joneses release limited edition lathe cut as new single
If you’re someone who is into labels or artists who release lathe cuts as records, you’re going to like this. The Rashida Joneses have released a new single and you’re only going to be able to pick it up when they are doing shows for the next few weeks. First and foremost, here is where you’ll be seeing this crazy trio:
July 1… Oshkosh, WI (Reptile Palace)
July 5… Minneapolis, MN (Kitty Cat Klub)
July 6… Madison, WI (Mickey’s Tavern)
July 7… St. Louis, MO (Foam)
July 8… Chicago, IL (Mr. Rodgers Playhouse)
July 9… Detroit, MI (Donovan’s Pub)
July 10… Fort Wayne, IN (The Brass Rail)
While the label is calling this a “split single”, that’s not the proper term for what this is. Their new single will be released as an 8 inch lathe cut, made differently than your standard records. They had them done through Precarian Cuts of Tucson, Arizona, the process of which was documented below.
Technically, a “split single” is the phrase used when each side of the record features music by different artists. What Tasty Tapes are focusing on is the fact that both songs on this record are bangers, solid hits, a double A-side if you will. You may have a listen to one of the tracks below, called “Alien Ocean”. Remember, these records are only at shows, not at stores so show some support and if you can, say hello.

SOME STUFFS: Crazy group Spirit City become spirited with new release
You may not put together the words “Utah” and “rock band” together often but that will change once you get to know Spirit City. They play a nice blend of pop with their rock and they’re going to show everyone what it takes to maintain that power when they drop an EP called We’re All Insane but how crazy are they? Maybe they’re not that loonie but have a listen to the title track to see how much they’re off their rockers.

Out on September 23rd will be a new album from Sweden’s death metal monarchs Usurpress.

For a taste of the ugliness, have a listen to “Across The Dying Plains”.
