Ayucaba, Dark Thoughts, Skintern, Secrecy

NEVER MIND NEW RIVER, HERE IS #1 presents:

AYUCABA is without iconography; it is the memory and promise we carry at birth. It is the act of dying, the omega of the imminent fate of all energy that inhabits this planet. AYUCABA IS PUNK!

DARK THOUGHTS from Philadelphia, are our finest current purveyors of down-the-middle Ramones-style fastball punk. They bash out hooks with head-spinning efficiency, and they always sound like they’re having fun even when they’re singing about being miserable.

SKINTERN: Skintern is a collaborative noise rock project build on blood, spectacle, and excess. Equal parts band and performed violence.

SECRECY: tightly wound, shadowy post-punk towards a world removed of sins
