Modey Lemon - Modey Lemon

Modey Lemon's eponymous, and first release is exactly what you want if you're into some ferocious garage rock. This album is fantastic and if you can get your hands on it - do so now. These guys are from Pittsburgh, which doesn't necessarily brew notably angry people. However, their self titled is like punk-blues. It's loud, energetic and misanthropic with songs like, "Grandpa's Bones" and "Jesus Christ ( for dinner)." Also, apparently their show is full of just as much uumph, with members acrobatics across stage. They are into demonstrating the chaos of their music I guess.

I'm going to suggest sticking to just this album if you're interested in music like this. Modey Lemon's newer material goes to kind of experimental voids and is much more tame. I enjoy Modey Lemon simply because it's raw, and makes me want to bang my head.

Song in the video is "Big Bang" is the first off the album, and a taste for what's to come. Next, songs about a garbage man that murders his woman, then a number on not feeding babies during a divorce period. This is closely followed by the terrible story of Caligula full of incest and murder. Finally, a song about rejecting Jesus Christ's request for dinner, that ends in an awesome blues harmonica solo to put the whole depressing saga into perspective.
