Whynot TotalFest or Totally Whynot

Total Fest 2011 was amazing Big Business, The Arrivals, Shannon and the Clams, Street Eaters, Kowloon Walled City, The Trashies, Dead and the I could go on and on and on.

One of my favs though was watching an Eagle catch a fish 15 feet away from us while floating the Blackfoot with Dead and the Street Eaters. It was even more amazing when an osprey attacked the eagle and tried to take the fish right above our heads. Johnny and Megan got pictures but lost their camera in a rapid. Damm!

For 2012 we are excited for another 3 days of awesomeness during TF and Whynot Minot is gearing up for the weekend before again. Submissions are open and you can get the info here:

Here is a belated 160 character review of the Bird's mile Home self titled cd that he texted me a long while back while on tour:

MRR reviews MBR catalog...STOKED!

We were pretty stoked when we picked up issue 341 of MRR and read the review section. MBR 002 through 005 were reviewed in this issue. Various reviewers gave their takes on the records and here is what they thought:

Still Single on MBR

With attempting to get this endeavor off the ground it can be hard to get noticed. Reviewers and sites get overwhelmed with material being sent in and it seems that much can get overlooked as we are noticing. You can read a disclaimer on many sites stating this exact point. With that said I would like to thank Doug Mosurock and crew at Still Single as they have reviewed every record I have sent in to them. They may not have dug the records as much as others have but at least they took the time to listen. Here are a couple if you can say "highlights"

Hellride reviews MBR catalog

Hellride music recently went through our entire catalog and posted reviews. Here is what Jay Snyder had to say:

Martin Hill who put out twang-y, Minutemen inspired upstarts Birds Mile Home (please do check them out) has really fired up the coal as far as his label is concerned. I got a nice, fat care package with 4 immaculately designed vinyls inside. Righteous!

The Trashies in retrotrashdom

The Trashies Space Jam has been released to the masses and comes on yellow with brown splatter vinyl.

Here is some classic footage of these slumlords:

A few years back The Stranger out of Seattle did a tour diary with The Trashies it was a pretty crazy ride. 

Independent reviews Space Jam asThe Trashies Hit #1 on the chart

The Trashies 

Space Jam

by PJ Rogalski
Space Jam is the latest offering from the godfathers of Northwest trashcore (NWTC, suckers!) The Trashies. After a multiple year hiatus these dirty dogs return with an impressive album that reeks of spilled PBR, weed smoke and dirty laundry. I have to admit that back in the early days of the band I wasn't entirely sold, but it didn't take more than an impressively sweaty and destructive show or two for me to stop worrying, and love The Trashies.

The 11 tracks clock in at well under 30 minutes and while there's a clunker or two scattered throughout, the end result is nothing less than solid. "Paved Reality" is a Pere Ubu-esque earworm that smacks of apocalyptic anxiety. The Bo Diddley beat behind "Destroy" makes me want to do exactly that—but in a calm, calculated manner. It's a weird feeling. While many a band has failed at attempts to dub out, the tense echoes of "Bugsmoker" work here. The stop-and-go trashcore anthem "White Mold" is bound to inspire a few fists in the air when these dudes get trashed at Total Fest X. Don't miss it.

The Trashies play Total Fest X Saturday, August 20. Go to totalfest.org for more info on the festival.

Recent review(s) of Bird's Mile Home's self titled LP.

MaximumRocknRoll, January 2011, #332

Lp Review
"Most of you fellow MRR readers will not like this album. But for those of you out there who won't stop reading this review upon first mention of "folk punk" we have something here for you. This is way more folk than punk; in fact it's not all that punk at all. But it's gritty, it's raw and it's really well orchestrated. The songwriting is good and the lyrics are thoughtful and poetic. In a musical genre dominated by really annoying kids and bands this feels fresh. Make no bones about it, this is folk music, but if you're on the lookout for the cutting edge of folk music, check out these Montana kids. (Fred Schrunk)
