Have you recently realized, sometime in the course of your busy day, that W is still in "charge" and will remain so for another 18 months? Remember that acid-churning queasy sensation in the pit of your stomach that followed? There's a sound for that, and it's on tour right now. The indescribable Bay Area noise-trashers The Locust have a new record out that's a perfect fit for a summer of drinking yourself into a stupor whilst watching C-Span. Co-headliners Daughters play fast and loose with the conventions of metalcore, substituting frat-boy screaming with drunken warbling and long-haired hippie-isms, and vegan grinders Cattle Decapitation play furious blastbeats harder than would seem possible on such a low-protein diet. All we know about homegrown noise-savant Assacre is that he wreaks havoc with a fog machine. In any event, all the bands on this bill could give a fuck what you think about them, which is a pretty liberating spectacle if you're of sound mind and body. So feel free to leave the Ambien in the cabinet tonight; after all, sometimes feeling bad can feel pretty good.
