STILL SINGLE

A space for thoughts on music and culture, as written by Doug Mosurock and a select handful of individuals. This is intended as a supplement to our regular feature Still Single, published on Dusted Magazine. Updates will run here more frequently, and may feature writing on music not covered in the column. Compact discs are still not accepted for review -- we have more than enough vinyl and the occasional cassette to worry about. Our Twitter feed keeps you apprised of reviews as they're published. It's kept locked and private, because with a name like @stillsingle, everyone thinks it's a dating site. Approvals happen whenever they happen.

Apache Dropout/3 Man Band – split 7” (Glory Hole)

Record Store Day release. 3 Man Band sent in a tape that was pretty raging, and was arguably the best first 90 seconds of any review tape ever presented in this direction, and even though it cooled down a bit afterwards, it remains a good, hard slap of hard rock, garage and psych moves being bound together in Knoxville, TN even as I write this. Their jam is called “Owsley (In Theory And Practice)” and it’s a good, trippy dirtbomb of solid drumming and wild man moves. Also an old friend of mine is in the band, and it’s good to see her rockin’ with authority. Apache Dropout drops another little amuse bouche before their second album comes out this year on Trouble In Mind. “Soul Sucker” isn’t one of their best, but it’s a split 7” that you’re gonna have to look for to find, who the fuck cares, this band rules. I don’t make exceptions for too many bands but Apache Dropout is fucking monstrous. Limited edition, on various colors of vinyl.
