Yup, Buzzgrinder shirts. Just $10 (+$5 shipping). ORDER HERE.
I’ve had Another Way Home in my weekly playlist since it came out last October. Any excuse I can use to do some subtle head banging during the work day is fine with me. A darling of a hardcore album, refined with (sorry) a southern twist, Remove The Veil does just enough to keep things interesting without coming off too “oh look how many time changes we had on THIS song!” And my goodness; the vocals of Mark Hendrix are some of the best in the genre.

NPR speaks with Zooey Deschanel, star of Tin Man and Elf, about her foray into the indie music scene.
She’s teamed with M. Ward to form She And Him, and they’ve put out their first album, Volume One. If alt-country meets classic jazz vocals sounds like your thing, then this is for you.
Meeting up with bands that are readers of Buzzgrinder is always a strange thing. Heck, Joshua Mikel, the drummer from Look Mexico, wrote a piece for Buzzgrinder last year (Vote Or Dye? Author Andrew Keen, 2007). (more…)
Justin Stover recently interviewed Saddle Creek artist Orenda Fink (formerly of Azure Ray). She talks about her solo work, future projects, and her current band Art in Manila. (more…)

:: How does the 42-year-old Moby stay awake for late night shows? “Beer and espresso or vodka and cheap coffee.” Nothing like mixing depressants with stimulants! I hear it’s great for the heart. Oh yea, and he just bought a $3 million dollar home. [link, Largehearted Boy]
:: Some pics from Young Widows, who just got back from tour with Baroness.
:: The new Fear Before The March of Flames album will be titled, “ergotism and its effect on the human psyche.”

The Seven Inch Project recently released the fourth volume in their series with Brain, from Luke Temple (you might remember Seth gushing about him a little while back). Not wise on the Seven Inch Project yet? Well, I’ll help you out, then.
It’s a label that releases only seven inch records, hence the name. In addition to their latest release, they’ve put out records by June Madrona, Half-Handed Cloud and Agent Ribbons. And they have volumes five and six lined up (Rio En Medio and Francois Virot respectively). There are a few words about each of their first three releases after the jump.

Natavia Lowery, charged with the murder of Linda Stein (one time co-manager of The Ramones), “was denied bail Wednesday even though the defense argued new DNA evidence justified it.”
“Lowery is accused of using a heavy stick to beat Stein, 61, once a co-manager of the rock group the Ramones. Stein was found facedown in a pool of blood in her Fifth Avenue apartment around 10:20 p.m. on Oct. 30. She had scalp cuts and a fractured skull.”
Throwdown guitarist Mark Choiniere on their relationship with Trustkill Records:
“I mean, I don’t like to talk shit, but… I just think things could have gone better. Just from touring with other bands and hearing how their record label helped them be the band that they are… it’s just kinda like, we could only imagine what it would be like to be on a label that really pushes you.”
A Cursive Memory (on Vagrant Records) needed a music video. The band put their heads together, brainstormed for probably about 12 seconds and came up with the video above.
The premise is this; carry around a boombox and film themselves as Bandarazzi, you know… like paparazzi only even more annoying. Genius.
Bonus points for getting Kevin Connolly to call their act, “the dumbest f**king thing I’ve seen in my life.”
