Hello.

Brando Skirts

By Jeremy Krinsley » Delightfully eclectic damaged rock.

Brando Skirts

Brando Kills, also a killer designer label

Not that rock bands are ever more than dime a dozen, but I'll pay you a dollar to find another one making eclectic guitar-based song-bound music with this kind of range made as a group rather than a bedroom head trip who I'd never heard of til yesterday.

I'm sure they're out there, I just happen to have five dolla, and this is where I will blow it all.

Yesterday, Brando Skirts hit us up with a delightfully eclectic mix of damaged rock songs, more often than not guitar-based, but most of the time weighed against fantastically freaked out vocal loops, or a rolling hill of feedback, horns on the fritz, heaps of dual-melody dissonance, found sound city Frequencies, vocal harmony. It almost feels like a throw-back to an earlier time when bros made dissonant post-punk and Sonic Youth reigned as the one and only right way. 2003? Maybe just 2010, this stuff is great.

Take a listen to their album, Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, and pay them "what you want," maybe in English pounds.

Brando Skirts, "Grim Dissection of Perpetual Dissatisfaction"

Forget everything I just said except "eclectic" and "horns" in order to enjoy their new single.

Brando Skirts, "Love Song" (new single from an upcoming LP, not on the album for download)

Isn't this a take on the old PiL song This Is Not A [Love Song]? If not, it's ascloseasthis.
