By Dolphin Whisperer
Are the ’90s played out yet? If you ask the metal world,1 or rather, the metal-leaning world of -cored and rocky sounds, we’re just getting started in the retro movement of three-decades past explorations. From the dreamy prog-leaning radioscapes of Lizzard to The Jesus Lizard-drenched grinding lurch of Full of Hell to the nostalgic Deftones-alt-castings of Bleed, the ’90s finds itself emblazoned in cut-n-scanned posters across guitar-led machinations in our current age. In a guise more Hole-y and riot grrrl, Michigan’s Tonguecutter wears close that AmRep, early Melvins, Unsane-y aesthetic with their quick-n-dirty debut Minnow. But is Minnow enough in the pond of competition growing deeper by the day?
With short-form, snakey Quicksand grooves and a ‘tude set to Courtney Love covering Facelift,2 Tonguecutter certainly thinks their debut splash serves more than just an upstart homage. Though not quite the polyrhythmic doom-lurch of Confessor or the demented grunge-sludge of Acid Bath, Minnow stirs in waters informed by the same ideas of stuttering low-end grooves and sassy, alt-coded diatribes. With punky odes to bodily autonomy (“Big Ol’ Tree”) and tongue-out anthems to perseverance (“Do You Play Leads, “Bitch Ass Energy”), it’s clear that Tonguecutter prizes the clarity of a sneering message over a technically indulgent plot. And though a little time signature trickery adds a jaunty bounce to many a number, Minnow never feels caught in the weeds of calculus-minded sleights of riff.
However, Tonguecutter holds tight the importance of narrative without searching for diversity in play, ringing stale in a tale as old as punk. For most of the intros, at least, Tonguecutter finds a strong enough footing to churn a wanting pit, with fervent d-beat runs (“Dust Collector,” “Big Ol’ Tree”) and bellowing floor tom struts (“Do You Play Leads,” “Antipode”) following a hefty bass pulse to curled and cawing choruses. But in many scenarios, these repetition-anchored refrains die on the vine of a bridge that does little to flip the riff in an interesting way. Neither embracing the brutality of a hardcore breakdown nor wankery of a metallic shredfest,3 just about every track comes to a tepid—if fun in spirit—cross of the finish that leaves Minnow feeling brief in an unfulfilling manner.
In part, and with some success, Tonguecutter does look to create a rich tonal tapestry to accentuate their low-frills attack. In sludgey and noisy waters, like those you might hear in a driving Thou or swinging Couch Slut piece, leaning on amp booming or mic frying tone hammers sits integral to the music’s intensity. Minnow may not stir quite in that stream, humming about more of a Petrol Girls lean fighting aura, but a rattling bass (“Urgency,” “Do You Play Leads) and a bluesy guitar crush (“Bitch Ass Energy,” “Yarn Horse”) take center stage alongside Chantal Roeske’s defiant tirades at the album’s finest bursts. Again, though, an adherence to the simple groove of each number keeps any one track from escaping the “now playing” screen into my wanting memory. Well, except for the guest flute solo on “RATAP,” anyway—you can take the boy out of prog but not the prog out of the boy.4
When I encounter acts like Tonguecutter, acts who promise brutal brevity and math-timed malediction, I hope to be tossed around with frightening and enlightening precision. The world can be a deeply frustrating place, and I want to get close to feeling the passion stowed away in vocalist Roeske’s pen—this gal’s got heart and riffs. Yet, Minnow, for as exacting as its efforts ring, skirts around these mission statements with a timid toeing about their extreme nature. And while it’s true that Tonguecutter hasn’t set out to become a new darling of dissobros lurking about the niche realms of inaccessible metal strongholds, whatever comes after Minnow will have to swim a little bigger with abrasiveness or catchiness to find where it does belong in the modern scene.

White Knuckle // Thee Soreheads // Caniche // Hatchday
L'Escogriffe Bar, Thursday, May 15 at 08:00 PM EDT
L'Escogriffe presents:
White Knuckle (egg punk, punk)
Embodying egg punk, an internet-spawned microgenre marked by lo-fi aesthetics and satirical edge, White Knuckle plays with cheap synth and loud guitars that seem to have escaped from a dark cartoon and a nervous high speed energy reminiscent of egg punk projects Prison Affair, Snõõper or Pressure Pin. Live, you get the feeling the singer Trevor Bushey (Shapes, Time Ghost) might crack his own shell at any moment, teetering on the edge of a violent outburst. Yet paradoxically, this very tension creates the feeling of a safe space to release our own anxiety. (from Le Büro Zine)
https://white-knuckle.bandcamp.com/album/icstq
Thee Soreheads (garage rock, riot grrrl)
Four slightly angry punks (Maria, Ally, Hugh, and Max) based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal). Known for their riotous live performances, Thee Soreheads bring a hard-hitting Riot Grrrl sound influenced by surf rock, rock n roll, and garage. From consent, to calling out white supremacists, their witty confrontational lyrics and catchy riffs meld to create wild chaotic anthems of big issues.

#Adwent_Z_Duchami Dzień 9! 🎄👻
Dziś chciałabym przedstawić wam kanadyjski zespół Softcult. Mam wrażenie, że w Polsce mało kto zna tę grupę (a przynajmniej ja się nie zetknęłam z jej fan_ami), co trochę dziwi, biorąc pod uwagę, że poznałam ją... Z radia BBC. Fajnie, że takie brzmienia – shoegaze, grunge, ale też riot grrrl – mają szansę zaistnieć gdzieś tam na obrzeżach mainstreamu!
Softcult tworzą bliźniaczki Mercedes i Phoenix Arn-Horn. Mają do swojej twórczości podejście mocno DIY. Oprócz swietnego brzmienia mają też do zaoferowania różne przemyślenia na tematy aktualne dla wielu osób na całym świecie, zawarte zarówno w tekstach jak i w swoich... zinach! Tak, robią własne ziny 💜 które krążą wokól podobnych kwestii, co ich piosenki. Można zamówić fizyczne kopie (kiedyś sobie jakąś sprawię, sam zin jest tani... Gorzej z przesyłką), albo poczytać je za darmo online tu: https://shop.softcult.band/collections/scripture-zine
Jedną z ich piosenek usłyszycie w Wigilię w @radiokapital

Sleater-Kinney Play “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun”
Listen to this track by incendiary Pacific Northwest punk rock power trio Sleater-Kinney. It’s “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun”, a cut from their landmark 2000 record, All Hands on the Bad One. From 1999’s The Hot Rock, the band were on a path away from their riot grrrl associations, moving toward more complex and nuanced musical territories. They did this in part by making key additions to their core sound. This included more prominent backing vocals from drummer Janet Weiss and lead guitarist Carrie Brownstein’s expanded role as co-lead vocalist on some cuts as a companion and foil for rhythm guitarist and lead singer Corin Tucker.
This tune helps to solidify their developing sound, bursting with pop charm and balancing the abrasiveness of the past with a kind of new wave-meets-Sixties-pop sensibility. Brownstein and Tucker’s guitars are fiery, fizzing with immediate energy, while Weiss’ drums are a primitive pulse throbbing behind them. The song’s lyrics suggest subject matter common to rock n’ roll songwriters; life on tour playing shows and hanging out with other bands on the bill afterwards. The old adage of write what you know applies heavily here.
This song is indeed about what it’s like to be on tour. But it goes deeper though, suggesting something about the social environment of the times that still didn’t quite take girl bands all that seriously as artistic equals. What’s a tight, highly competent, and unique sounding rock ‘n’ roll band to do in that kind of atmosphere? Well, write a song that sends all of that up, for one thing.
The turn of the 21st century was the age of macho-rock’s return in the form of bro-centric rap-rock and also of post-grunge po-faced frontmen with messiah complexes. In the Nineties, female-fronted bands gained significant ground in North America and in Britain. Male allies like Kurt Cobain decried sexism and toxic masculinity of established rock acts coming out of the 1980s. Things were changing by then on a social level as well as on musical ones. But by 2000, things seemed to be changing back.
Sleater-Kinney live at the Riviera Theatre, Chicago, June 2005 (photo: Sara)The mainstream rock world was awash with furrowed brows and dour expressions of dudes with a purpose. Of course, that purpose had little to do with anything outside of their own images of themselves as either self-important Jesus figures or bacchanalian gods of a golden nature. There was a lot of performative anger and put-on anguish in mainstream rock music as a kind of thrift store version of the grunge days. By 1999 and into 2000, it was reduced to a prop to serve an image more so than to communicate personal struggles or political issues with any level of authenticity.
For many bands, the legitimate anger of the past became nothing more than a piece of theatre, a texture and an aesthetic to be commodified and integrated into a musical style and approach to stage presentation. Because at that point, what did any rock star celebrated in the mainstream genuinely have to be so angry about, anyway?
Actually, there was plenty.
Rampant inequality in the industry was still very much in place across racial and gender lines, for one. And violence against women continued to be a mainstay and of specific concern. During musical events, women and girls were still not safe. Some were assaulted at high profile rock shows of the era. In the end, theatrical anger isn’t so volatile as the real thing and it’s much easier to sell. Very importantly, it’s not something anyone has to examine or do anything about.
The band who wrote this fun-loving song had proven themselves time and time again as eloquent communicators of serious subjects including the complex natures of sexuality, gender, and social change. They certainly expressed the appropriate anger that arises because of those issues in other songs, having done so more authentically than most by 2000. Since there was no need for them to put on rock airs as serious artists, “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun” wears a smirk, not a scowl. It’s full of humour, not anger or bitterness. This only adds to its charm, and sets it well apart from what was happening in music by the kick-off to the 21st century.
It knows something we don’t know.
With that knowing sense of humour in place, it makes an important roundabout point about what a rock ‘n’ roll attitude is and what it is not. And very importantly, “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun” really is fun. This is at least in part because of that knowing quality; that for all their pretentions, the rock star too above it all to hang out with their girl band tourmates is comically missing the point and/or demonstrates that they don’t know who or what they’re dealing with when it comes to rock ‘n’ roll. That this song is a lighthearted pisstake instead of an enraged missive only contributes to how well it skewers the object of the comedy, and also how adeptly it understands the gravity of its own subject matter.
You can hear the sympathetic smile and the affectionate shake of the head in it, knowing the score far better than any aloof rock star at the top of the bill stricken with an inflated ego and never mingling with the hoi polloi of opening acts. Who could react to any kind of above-it-all attitude with anything other than bemusement at best?
You’re no rock n’ roll fun
Like a piece of art
That no one can touchYour head’s always up in the clouds
Writing your songs
Won’t you ever come down?– “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun”, Sleater-Kinney
At it’s core and in the middle of how much fun and full of cheekiness it is, “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun” communicates a very important idea; that the whole point of rock ‘n’ roll is to communicate the ideals of openness and inclusion for musicians and fans alike. There’s nothing that makes music scenes or any single artistic event more fun and more socially significant than when people of various backgrounds, experiences, and identities can easily, safely, and respectfully find their way in and have a positive experience once they get there no matter who they are. This means helping to create an environment where this can happen for everyone concerned while having the most possible fun together at the same time.
For rock ‘n’ roll, the fun of it is a large part of why it’s been so important. Rock ‘n’ roll is supposed to be open, not closed off. In a lighthearted and very effective way, “You’re No Rock ‘n’ Roll Fun” suggests a solid point that frames rock music as a force that’s all the more vital; that snobbery, self-importance, prejudice, bullshit gatekeeping, and violence against women are the least rock ‘n’ roll attitudes and practices that ever were.
After a break and and extended hiatus period as a band from 2006 to 2014, Sleater-Kinney are a going concern today, active as a duo between founding members Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker. You can keep up with them at sleater-kinney.com.

Enjoy!
