Baklavaa

Baklavaa is absolutely insane band from Baltimore. I checked them out after Jane from Curse mentioned them in our interview. You should check them out. They're kind of like a harder edged Tera Melos. They've got an LP available for pay what you want on bandcamp or you could get a vinyl copy of it for $10.



Also check out the brain-hurtingly strange video for Salsa Shark.

Pandas - Maximum Fucking Tenderness

 

Pandas are from Baltimore, MD. Here's how they describe their sound: "It’s like punk, but with more musicianship. Maybe it’s actually prog, but prog that never went to Berkeley. Then again,maybe it’s metal, but without all the spiky leather. Or perhaps it’s hardcore, but more Greg Ginn and less Jamey Jasta."

'Maximum Fucking Tenderness' is a quick little four track EP that packs in the heaviness. I kind of feel like this might be what Between The Buried and Me would sound like if they were a punk band and had fewer break neck time changes.  Check them out on Bandcamp.



Feels like I've been posting too much mainstream sort of rock stuff lately so I'm going to follow this up with something weird.
