Another week, another Mercury music section to read while you puff away on your Justin Bieber inhaler. What? It’s fake? Now what the hell am I going to get Wm.™ Steven Humphrey for International Global Boss Appreciation Day, a national holiday that he just told us about? It falls on every Thursday and gifts are mandatory. Hmmm, come to think of it, this might be fake as well…
A little sweet, a little sinister, Danish duo The Raveonettes return with Raven In The Grave. That’s so raven. So, so, raven.
LISTEN:
The Raveonettes – “Recharge and Revolt”
Three records in, Point Juncture WA come together like an indie rock Voltron. Yeah, but I highly doubt they could even defeat King Zarkon. Damn, fell right into that nerd trap.
LISTEN:
Point Juncture WA – “Chronological Order”
The busiest man in town, Jared Mees juggles his role as a frontman, record label owner, and father figure to the disheveled masses of wayward indie rockers.
LISTEN:
Jared Mees and the Grown Children – “W.W.J.B.D.”
The original headline to this Grave Babies article was “Weed Smokin’ Corpse Fuckin’ Satan Worshippin’ Motherfuckers.” I think that says enough.
LISTEN:
Grave Babies – “Gouge Your Eyes Out”
They might be new to the stage, but Ghost Animal channels some classic musical influences in their raw sound.
LISTEN:
Ghost Animal – “In Your Room”
End Hits: LET’S GO VOLTRON FORCE!

If you want to hear some awesome Point Juncture tracks, watch this film by local filmmaker Hart Noecker. Totally worth it and the music (all by PJ WA) is tops:
