the real techno

If any of you follow us on twitter then you probably saw us tweet this video, for those of you who don’t follow go watch the video and meet us back here, we’ll wait… Alright so what you probably noticed other then how sweet the early 80s were was the rad-ass jam in the background. That track is the first one on the list below which many people credit is the first Detroit Techno track to hit the streets along with Alleys of your Mind by Cybotron, both in 1981(song below). Juan Atkins is one half of Cybotron and is the guy who coined the term techno. While few people we’re taking notice Cybotron was dropping crazy singles like Cosmic Cars [song below] and Clear [song below] which you’ll recognize because it got lifted for that Missy Elliot song. Atkins, Kevin Suanerson, and Derrick May (Belleville Three) are know for laying the initial blueprint for techno. The last song below is Atkins‘ first single under the name Model 500 called No UFO’s which other people consider as the first real techno recording. But then you got Kraftwerk in ’77 so it really depends who you talk to. This is a very brief background on early techno but it gives you an idea of where these jams came from. All you need to know is it’s awesome at parties. Bring on the dance gauntlets.

injected - the truth about you

Tyler Jackson

Injected was an Atlantic hard rock band that got pretty popular around 2002 with their single Faithless off their debut album Burn It Black, which all around, was a great record. After extensive touring and the loss of a guitarist the band went to work on their second coming album The Truth About You. 2005, the record was rumored to have almost wrapped recording but there was still no word of when it was coming out or when the band would be touring again. After being on their mailing list this whole time and not receiving any messages from the band there mysteriously one day was an email update. No fancy graphics just a straight paragraph written by Danny Grady the bands lead singer and guitarist. It was an off the cuff rant about how he was listening to the demos of the new songs along with putting up with his neighbors fighting all the time and his plot to bring them over to listen to the songs to end the feuding. He went on to say that the band would be playing a whole bunch of dates coming up but under different names. Basically if you saw a flyer for a show and saw a ridiculous name for a band like say Cowboy Buttfuck it might have been Injected trying out the new songs. Then their official site Injected.com vanished. A message from the band on the Injected fan site said “changes at their (record) label left the band with no support and few options. Under the circumstances the band members decided to go their separate ways.”

What a pussifuk you know? Then in the summer of 2006 there was a rumor of the band getting back together with the new album but after much talk a message from Jade posted on their myspace fan page read “…well the rumors aren’t true (anymore). We flirted with getting back together, but it’s just not gonna happen. too many day to day things keep us having to focus on paying bills, eating, mowing the grass and expanding our waist sizes. oh well…almost right? thanks for the love my friends! take care, Jade”. What blue balls, the rumor floating around last year was the guys we’re re-recording some tracks for The Truth About You but there has yet to be anything seen. BUT we have found this 20 track unreleased gem and its awesome. It was like unpacking clothes from when you we’re a kid and finding $100 in the pocket of your old jacket. Below are some tracks from the album and below that are links to download the album.

forest farms

Tyler Jackson

So this post is a little more selfish then usual. When my last project, Pandoras MusicBox, broke up years ago I went to work on another solo project I am now calling Forest Farms. The problem I realized back then which still persists is I would never be able to pull any of it off live, but I really didn’t give a shit. Bands are hard to keep together and if any one tells you different they’re full of it. These songs are a couple of the ones I’ve been working on over the years. Some almost 5 years old, some not complete but either way worth a listen (my biased opinion of course).

meet me at the vertigo

Tyler Jackson

Meet Me At The Vertigo was a reckless experimental post hardcore band from PA. Known probably more for their on and off stage antics, there music still held its own resembling bands like At The Drive-In and Million Dead. The band was working through their second ep when they parted ways. These are the rough to say the least, missing vocals, missing instruments, and lots of single takes. Many of these songs were only played to a audience a couple times if any.

cowalker exclusive

Tyler Jackson

Cowalker was one of those indie bands that was right on the edge of “making it”. Full of talent and adored by fans but with not quite enough exposure. At one point near the end of their career they suffered the loss of their drummer and bass player leaving only 3 members. Most bands when hit with such a substantial roadblock would usually go on hiatus for awhile till they found new trainable members or even brake up all together. Cowalker evolved and adapted by tailoring their songs so that 3 members could manage a whole live set and still keep the quality and power that Cowalker had become to be known for. The first track is one that they wrote after the downsizing and its amazing. The ascending guitar lines in the chorus are just brilliant. The 3 tracks after that are the remixed demos minus vocals of their new evolved sound before the band finally parted ways for good. Is Cowalker done for good though? No one can be sure, not even the band mastermind Tucker Stewart. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the future holds but for now you can hear the studio versions of some of these songs and other tracks by Cowalker on myspace.com/cowalker or on their site www.cowalker.com.

I wanted to throw this in too, this is the original home recorded version of Kali before they recorded it for their ep. The emotion in his voice in this version will send shivers down your spine. To get the ep click here.
