Summer is officially here! I know cause I went from being cooped up in my apt to hitting any and every open venue I can find here in Santa Barbara. As the heat wave blanketed the west coast I too came in HOT with New Noize.

So many albums dropped this past Friday it was a bit ridiculous. I mean how can you choose an "Album of the Week" with bands/artists which included Daniel Avery, Doja Cat Hiatus Kaiyote, SPELLLING, John Carroll Kirby, Squirrel Flower, beabadoobee(I know this is an EP but whatever its amazing), The Mountain Goats, Pom Pom Squad & Birds of Maya. There was 1 stand out in this pack, and this human deserves his grammy like now. Album of the Week belongs to CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST by Tyler the Creator. Come the end of 2021 this album is going to be high on a lot of music snobs "best of" lists.

I will say that the new Birds of Maya record "Valdez" comes in at a close 2nd.

This weeks' "Song of the Week" belongs to "Smoke Break" by In The Whale out on Riot Records. This 1 track has me immensely curious on what the whole record is going to sound like.

Next Sunday is July 4th and I will be out of town so there will probably be no New Noize this Sunday unless something changes.

Ok what did I think of e3???? Excluding Devolver Digital who constantly brings their own flare and rewrites what a digital showcase is, the overall 2021 convention was trash until Nintendo stepped up to the plate. Advance Wars revived with updated graphics, Kazuya Mishima is going to be the newest character in Smash, WarioWare, and obviously Breath of the Wild 2 (coming out in 2022). Yes there is a new Metroid game coming out in October and I am stoked as it's a throwback to the 2d style while continuing the storyline which I will play day 1 BUT I WAS very upset not to see anything Metroid Prime 4 related, or a Metroid Prime bundle of the last 3 games AND NOTHING Bayonetta 3 related. It was not a great e3 compared to past e3 conventions. I must give Microsoft it’s props. It was an OK showing by them.

I went down to LA as a good friend opened a new lounge. It was fun but the first 10 minutes I had a bit of anxiety as I am still getting used to indoor venues.

Let's talk New Noize as this is why you came, right?

This weeks' "Song of the Week" was a bit difficult as I played a lot of incredible singles including Tyler, The Creator’s "LUMBERJACK, Yves Tumor’s "Jackie", The Marias’ "Hush" but I am going with "Chaise Longue" by Wet Leg. Wet Leg has some serious Dry Cleaning feels but has a stand alone sound so give "Chaise Longue" a chance.

"Album of the Week '' belongs to DC Dark Nights: Death Metal which is on Loma Vista records. What a roster of artists to represent the DC universe including IDLES, Denzel Curry, Chelsea Wolfe, HEALTH, Starcrawler, Soccer Mommy & Mastodon to name a few. The soundtrack is HEAVY, you have been warned.

As always I will be back this Sunday but will probably take next Sunday for July 4th, we shall how everything unfolds.

This Sunday I did not have to cover the Reggae SoundClash but still brought the heat to New Noize. Talking about heat its starting to creep into "the hot szn" in SoCal and this 2 hour set list is a nice preview of some summer jams you will be grooving to.

So I KNOW the new Migos record, CULTURE III is out and should be the New Noize album of the week BUT it's not. Sorry Offset, Quavo & Takeoff but the South African-Japanese living GOD known as Daisuke Ishiwatari blessed us with his newest video game Guilty Gear -Strive-. The living legend is a video game developer, illustrator, musician, composer and voice actor and did all of those things on his newest game, Guilty Gear -Strive- and if you know this game you & are obsessed with metal like I am then you will see all the nods to everything metal in this game. Let's take one of the main characters, Sol Badguy. His last name is a reference to "Mr. Bad Guy", a song by Freddie Mercury in fact his head-plate has the words "ROCK YOU" engraved on it which is a direct reference to Queen's "We Will Rock You". Take 2 of Sol Badguy's special moves, "Bandit Revolver '' which is a reference to a Japanese band called Bandit Revolver, and another move of his is called "gun flame" which is a Bandit Revolver song! We are just scratching the surface so if any metalheads want to talk about this in length, hit me up! Needless to say the Guilty Gear -Stive- OST is the New Noize Album of the Week. Currently the only way to listen to the whole OST is if you bought an upgraded version of the game (there is also a small issue on how to download this game but I figured it out, thanks google!)

New Noize song of the week is "Great Mass of Color '' by Deafheaven. Even Though it's not as heavy as the majority of their work it's a great new single setting up for a full length drop later this year. The track leaves you wanting more with a focus on where the direction of their sound will go.

Also Nintedo best reveal Metroid Prime 4 tomorrow.

See you next Sunday.

Everything made it!!

I swam in the deep side of the pool during this past Sunday's New Noize, meaning I broke into a lot of full-length albums and played some deep cuts. There were so many to choose from!! Perturbator, Red Fang, Rostam, Somnuri, EXUM, Japanese Breakfast, The Avalanches, black midi & Mndsgn all at my fingertips so I hope you enjoy what I picked out.

On the subject of picking it was terribly hard to pick this week's New Noize Album of the week but at the end of the day Japanese Breakfast came out on top (I'm sorry black midi & Mndsgn). I mean the 1st track is about one of my favorite feature length anime's Paprika which Christopher Nolan literally copied for his dream movie Inception. Oh if you like Inception watch Paprika and get at me(I love that movie). In all honesty all the records I mentioned deserve at least 1 run through.

Song of the week belongs to Rich Brian and friends over at 88 rising, California. It captures a SoCal summer style that needs to banged with the wind in your hair, or in my case the wind in my scalp.

Until next Sunday, peace out my peoples.
