What happens when members of influential hardcore bands like City Of Caterpillar, Majority Rule, malady and pg.99 get together? Well, something very different than you might expect, and that something is Pygmy Lush.

Their first record, Bitter River (Robotic Empire), was noise-punk tracks mixed in with some of the quieter songs. Those more restrained songs, which had at first been an aside, began to over take the set: "Still filled to the brim with a sense of abandon, only here they have put down their angst for introspection, traded their aggression for a slow grit. "

Today we're happy to bring you a stream of the new album from Cheap Girls. The record is titled Find Me a Drink Home and we reviewed it earlier this year:

A guitar, bass and drum trio that mix three-chord pop songs with some bar rock riffs and solos for a sound that recalls the finer power-pop bands of the last decade. [...] Graham’s pleading, albeit reserved, vocals recall Josh Caterer of the Smoking Popes in their pleasant crooning approach. It’s this soothing delivery, coupled with often-excellent melodies that make Cheap Girls a recognizable face in the power-pop crowd.
