I gotta second fidlar. My first impression/pithy summation of them was that they are kinda like if the black lips were a socal skate/punk band.  They quickly became my favorite band in L.A. They've also blown up quite quickly so hopefully the backlash doesn't start too soon because they're a great band.

Been playing this a lot!

One band I discovered just farting around on eMusic is The Night Beats. They're a Seattle  group but they owe a lot to the 13th Floor Elevators. A bunch of free tracks at the Free Music Archive http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Night_Beats

Another group I've been enjoying is Help Me Devil, a rockabilly-influenced trio from Spain. Matt Verta-Ray of Heavy Trash produced their debut album (2011). It's got a Hasil Adkins cover, Chicken Walk. (they're on Spotify)

They're not new, but I've a recent convert to The Oh Sees ever since I saw them on a bill with The Gories and Kid Congo Powers. Many free Mp3s at Free Music Archive http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Thee_Oh_Sees/

fuck yeah

I agree that the OFF album is great and live they were more than stunning. I would also recommend Man Lifting Banner an amazing Dutch hardcore band, then theres Cheap Time, the new Adolescents EP, Royal Headache, The Laureates, actually its a great time for underground punk rock !

gotta check that out for sure.

It sounds pretty cool, but I'd like to remix it so you can hear the drums.

OFF!

The Savage Seven, Album Pleasure Seeker from Ferndale, Michigan:

I agree, I was just pointing out his new stuff, I have "lemons" and also "Melted" and of course the self titled first LP, which is super raw low=fi and reverb drenched, yet still has a melodic quality.  Also, for kicks check out "Ty Rex" his 6 song cover album of T-Rex tunes, pretty cool too.

In my opinion the best Ty Segall tracks are on his records from <2010. Check out his S/t LP (2008), Horn The Unicorn (2009) and Lemons (2009) if you want a real treat that you just can't get from his newer stuff.

Also another up-and-comer that's getting really big is Thee Oh Sees. Their new album Putrifiers II just leaked and it rips pretty hard. I would definitely snag it when it releases early September and check out their albums from 2008 and 2009 as well. Really great stuff.
