Ok, so you know that crazed feeling you got when you first heard Death from Above 1979? That whole, “Holy shit, this is so intense I don’t know whether I want to punch holes in concrete or dance on the roofs of cop cars”? (Or, you know, something like that?). The new T. Raumschmiere is totally that for me right now. The record is out in August on Mute, but damn if it’s not going to be blasting out from turntables long before that. I have to thank Mr. Dave Segal for turning me on to the guy but now I can’t let go. As aggressive as the best punk songs, gritty as you want it, and with a hard techno beat, the upcoming Blitzkrieg Pop is already one of my favorite records for 2005. And I want “Sick Like Me” as my new theme song.
