2014: Year in Review, Part 1


Just as we did last year, we're wrapping up 2014 with a wide-spanning, multi-part "year in review" series of broadcasts that highlights some of our favorite music released during the past calendar year. Especially since our 2014 broadcasts were so heavily focused on older underground music from the 1980s and 1990s - through series like Unfinished Business (1980s Post-Punk), Destroy All Music (Early U.S. Punk & Hardcore), Pop-Punk Ain't (All) JunkNick Cave - Man or Myth?, and others - we wanted to take an opportunity to call attention to some newer music too. As music fans and listeners, we here at The Way out aren't entirely stuck in the past!

As regular Way Out listeners have perhaps come to expect, 2014: Year in Review emphasizes the more obscure and lesser-known music and musicians operating today (though there are a number of high-profile indie artists featured here too). This also isn't a traditional "best of" list. There's no ranking or systematic method to the music selected here. It's just a leisurely presentation of some of the more interesting and exciting new artists, songs, and albums we encountered in 2014.

Here's the playlist for Part 1 of 2014: Year in Review, which was broadcast on Saturday, December 20, 2014:

Hookworms - "Radio Tokyo"
Raspberry Bulbs - "Light Surrounds Me"
Naomi Punk - "Eleven Inches"

Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk, Part 2


Back in September, we presented the first in a pair of shows that were designed as a mini-defense of "classic" 1990s pop-punk - a genre that is justifiably much-maligned, though when you scratch the surface there's actually quite a bit of good music to be found underneath your Blink 182's and Offspring's and Sum 41's. We called the series Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk.

The Creation Records Show


Here at The Way Out, we're still basking in the warm glow of Slowdive's brilliant return earlier this year. And then this week, Swervedriver announced that they'd be touring the U.S. (including a stop in our very own Madison, WI) and releasing a new album next year, their first since 1998. That was Monday. Then, on Tuesday, the really big news hit: rumor started circulating online that Ride would be reforming in 2015. Within a day, the rumor was confirmed as true, and Ride announced 9 shows next May and June, including only two North American appearances in New York and Toronto. In honor of all this much-welcome news, we decided to dedicate this week's show entirely to the Creation Records label - the home to Ride, Swervedriver, Slowdive, and so many other great 1980s and 1990s U.K. shoegaze and indie-pop bands. 

Here's the playlist for our Saturday, November 12, 2014, broadcast:

Slowdive - "Sing"
Ride - "Polar Bear"
My Bloody Valentine - "Drive It All Over Me"
The Telescopes - "Precious Little"
Swervedriver - "Sunset"

Destroy All Music, Part 3 (Early U.S. Punk & Hardcore)


Earlier this year, we kicked off a mini-series called Destroy All Music, which is dedicated to early U.S. punk and hardcore music (some from the late 1970s, but mostly from the 1980s). The recurring series' primary focus is on more lesser-known and obscure artists from the era (i.e., no Black Flag, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Germs, Dead Kennedys, et al). We also strive for no duplication across shows, meaning each set features a completely different list of bands/artists. Part 1 was broadcast back in January, followed by Part 2 in April and a spin-off Youth Crew Hardcore set, also in April.

Although our attention has been focused elsewhere in recent months, we've steadily been putting aside songs for future installments of Destroy All Music. In fact, we have enough music mapped out for at least another two hour-long playlists, not including this week's third installment. So, keep your ears open for more Destroy All Music in the coming months. In the meantime, here's the playlist for Part 3 of Destroy All Music, which was broadcast on Saturday, November 8, 2014:

Agent Orange - "Bloodstains"
7 Seconds - "Here's Your Warning"
Reagan Youth - "Reagan Youth"
D.I. - "Reagan Der Fuhrer"
M.D.C. - "John Wayne Was a Nazi"

Toxic Reasons - "War Hero"
Naked Raygun - "Surf Combat"

Construction of a New Action (1990s Chicago Underground Rock)


Continuing our focus on 1990s indie/underground rock scenes, this week we turned our attention to Chicago. Rather than focus heavily on a few genres or labels (as we did with our recent D.C. and Olympia shows), we tried to cover a wide range of the Windy City's musical styles and scenes/communities. We purposefully skipped the city's alt-rock heroes of the day: Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Urge Overkill, Veruca Salt, Wilco, et al. And there were a lot of great bands that we didn't have time to include: Tar, The Coctails, Red Red Meat, Mekons, pretty much all the emo/post-hardcore bands apart from Cap'n Jazz. But we were able to include a number of personal favorites (Trenchmouth, Lake of Dracula, Los Crudos, Assembly Line), as well as feature a mini-set of artists from Chicago's terrific "now wave" noise rock scene of the mid-1990s.

Here's the playlist for our Saturday, October 11, 2014, broadcast:

Shellac - "Wingwalker"
Tortoise - "Cornpone Brunch"
Gastr del Sol - "Is That a Rifle When it Rains?"
The Sea and Cake - "Flat Lay the Water"
Joan of Arc - "Post Coitus Rock"
Trenchmouth - "The Volcanic Action of My Soul"
Assembly Line People Program - "New Minds"
Jaks - "Fidgecake & Pismire"
Los Crudos - "Crudo Soy!"
Charles Bronson - "Chicago"
The Jesus Lizard - "Nub"
Ministry - "TV II"
Bobby Conn - "United Nations"
U.S. Maple - "Letter to ZZ Top"
Flying Luttenbachers - "Fist Through Glass"
Scissor Girls - "Vamps, Here!"
Lake of Dracula - "Blues Fantastique"
Cap'n Jazz - "Basil's Kite"

The International Pop Underground's Hometown, Part 1 (1990s Olympia Indie Rock)


We've been spending the early part of this Fall semester exploring 1990s U.S. indie/underground rock through the lens of various cities and local scenes. Last week, we listened to the Washington, D.C., indie-pop scene, with a focus on the TeenBeat, Slumberland, and Simple Machines record labels. This week kicks off a pair of shows exploring 1990s music from the other Washington - the State of Washington. And in particular, its capital city of Olympia. Although Seattle and "grunge" garnered most of the mainstream press headlines during the early/mid-1990s, the much smaller Olympia - just about an hour south of the Emerald City - was one of the country's hotbeds of indie rock and DIY punk. Not only was Olympia home, at least for a time, to everyone from Bikini Kill to Nirvana, but it was also host to two of the defining record labels of 1990s underground rock: K and Kill Rock Stars.

Here's the playlist for Part 1 of our 1990s Olympia series, which we're titling The International Pop Underground's Hometown. It was broadcast on Saturday, September 27, 2014:

Beat Happening - "Fortune Cookie Prize"
Bratmobile - "Cool Schmool"
Unwound - "Nervous Energy"
Karp - "13 Ways to a Cavity"
Bikini Kill - "Feels Blind"
Dub Narcotic Sound System - "Monkey Hips and Rice"
The Go Team - "Bikini Twilight"
Some Velvet Sidewalk - "Big City Plans"
Long Hind Legs - "Kicking Giant"
Kicking Giant - "This Song"
Satisfact - "Unswitched"
Mocket - "Spark Plug"
Witchypoo - "The Reaper Song"
Lync - "Two Feet in Front"
Modest Mouse - "Dukes Up"
godheadSilo - "Master of Balance"

DC, Not Dischord (1990s DC Indie Rock)


Minor Threat, Fugazi, Nation of Ulysses, Bad Brains. Those are likely some of the bands you first think of when you consider music from our nation's capitol. Great bands, all. And indeed, Washington, D.C.'s hardcore punk and post-hardcore scene is rich and deep. But as we already play those acts often here on The Way Out - check out our Also On Dischord show from this past April - we thought we'd feature a different area of D.C. underground music this week. We've turned our attention to D.C.'s early/mid-1990s indie-pop scene, in particular acts on three of the city's best record labels: Slumberland, Simple Machines, and TeenBeat. (We took some artistic liberties with the NYC-based Versus, based on their relationship with TeenBeat.) While Slumberland and TeenBeat are no longer run out of D.C. and Simple Machines sadly ceases to exist, we nevertheless thought we'd pay tribute to three of the record labels that helped make D.C. underground rock music so great these past few decades.

Here's the playlist for our Saturday, September 20, 2014, broadcast:

Whorl - "Maybe It's Better"
Unrest - "Can't Sit Still"
Black Tambourine - "Throw Aggi Off the Bridge"
Lilys - "February Fourteenth"
The Ropers - "I Don't Mind"
Teenage Gang Debs - "On Tape"
Tsunami - "Be Like That"
Eggs - "It's Hard to Be an Egg"
Tuscadero - "Nancy Drew"
Blast Off Country Style - "Hey, Hey, I Love You Bitch"
My New Boyfriend - "Thurston Dance"
Versus - "Blade of Grass"
Bastro - "Sketch for Sleepy"
Lorelei - "The Bitter Air"
Velocity Girl - "Tales of Brave Aphrodite"

Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk, Part 1


Starting with last week's Drive Like Jehu themed show, we've shifted our focus for the Fall semester to 1990s indie/underground rock. After probing the depths of 1980s post-punk over the summer (with our Unfinished Business series of shows, plus a few spin-offs), we thought we'd change gears a bit. And this week's theme takes quite the shift: 1990s pop-punk. Pop-punk's certainly not a genre that typically receives a lot of play on The Way Out, nor is it a genre that garners a whole lot of respect in the broader music culture these days (hey, where were all the 20th anniversary celebrations of Jawbreaker's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy earlier this year?). But if you're going to have a discussion about punk or indie rock in the 1990s, you really need to talk about pop-punk. (Jason Heller's excellent "Fear of a Punk Decade" column at The AV Club recently made this point very clear, if only implicitly.)

Pop-punk may be associated with some of the most formulaic and insipid, not to mention apolitical,  music to carry the "punk" label (and for good reason - see the NOFX song on this playlist for just such a critique). But at least for a brief moment in the late 1980s and early 1990s, pop-punk was the site of some of the most innovative punk music around; it was refreshing a punk/hardcore scene that had begun to grow stale and cynical, or that had completely lost its way (see: much of hardcore punk's crossover into metal). Among other things, some of the era's most strident proponents of the DIY ethic were closely associated with pop-punk (groups like the 924 Gilman Street collective in Berkeley). And many pop-punk artists were among the most outspoken when it came to carrying on punk rock's social critiques (anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, et al). Moreover, pop-punk really wasn't a distinctly separate genre or scene back in the late 1980s and early/mid-1990s, at least not the way it would become in the late 1990s after the big commercial pop-punk boom. Back in the early 1990s, pop-punk, hardcore/post-hardcore, emo, crust, riot grrrl, ska, grindcore, et al, were all relatively entwined. The bands all shared bills together, and even if you were a straight edge kid, you probably had a Green Day or OpIvy record somewhere in your collection.

Whatever the case, take this show as our mini-defense of pop-punk. Of course, we've titled the show Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk, so we're hedging our bets a little. We're not going to lie: a lot of the most popular pop-punk out there is total, utter garbage. But if you look past your Blink 182's and Offspring's, there's some really good music to be found.

Here's the playlist for our Saturday, September 13, 2014, broadcast:

Ramones - "Cretin Hop"
Descendents - "I'm Not a Punk"
Bad Religion - "When?"
Screeching Weasel - "Hey Suburbia (Demo Version)"

The Drive Like Jehu Show


Though certainly not at quite the same level, Drive Like Jehu have grown to possess a Velvet Underground-like legacy in the contemporary underground rock scene. You know, the ol' Brian Eno assertion that they may not have sold many records in their day, but their influence far surpassed their popularity and they inspired legions of musicians who followed in their wake. Indeed, Jehu were only active for 5 years (1990-1995), and even during that tenure the band's members were splitting their time with other bands and projects, most notably guitarist/vocalist John "Speedo" Reis with Rocket From the Crypt. They didn't tour very much. (Andrew was living near Los Angeles for a few of those years, and he honestly can't recall Jehu playing a show there. They certainly must have played a few, but they were hardly playing out often.) They only released two albums and one single. And while we have no idea the sales figures, they were hardly moving mega-units. Nevertheless, their style of propulsive, wiry guitar rock with quiet-loud dynamics, frantic speak-shout vocals, and abstruse lyrics galvanized the prevailing "math rock" sound of the 1990s post-hardcore scene. And it's a style that still gets replicated widely today.

Back in mid-August, Jehu quietly announced that they'd be playing a free reunion show at San Diego's Balboa Park in just a couple week's time, on August 31st. They'd be accompanied by San Diego's civic organist, and play for only about a half-hour. It'd be their first live performance in 19 years, and (at least for now) the band swears it's their only reunion show. (Here's a great HD video of the full set.) To commemorate their reunion, we decided to look back at Drive Like Jehu, some of the members' post-Jehu activities, and the 1990s San Diego indie/punk rock scene from whence they came.

Here's the playlist for our Saturday, September 6, 2014, broadcast:

Drive Like Jehu - "Golden Brown"
Pitchfork - "Thin Ice"
Rocket From the Crypt - "Pigeon Eater"
Hot Snakes - "10th Planet"
Back Off Cupids - "Trivial Pursuit"
Obits - "No Fly List"

Coldwave, Part 1 (1980s French Post-Punk & Underground Rock)


As a spin-off of sorts to our recent Unfinished Business (1980s Post-Punk) series, we decided to focus this week's show entirely on 1980s post-punk and other underground rock sounds from France. Indeed, we've had plans to do a coldwave themed show for more than a year now but just haven't gotten around to it. Given our current 2-hour summertime slot, though, we chose to expand beyond just the narrower confines of coldwave to explore a wider variety of French post-punk, new wave, synth/electro, and art/experimental rock from the era (late 1970s into the very early 1990s).

Coldwave (or La Vague Froide), for those unfamiliar with the term, is basically a broad categorization for bands/music from the French (and Belgian) post-punk scene. Today, it has come to be associated primarily with minimal synth music - and surely there are some genre purists who will bristle at our using the term to describe anything else. Moreover, "coldwave" has become so synonymous with minimal synth music that it is frequently used to loosely refer to any dark, minimal electronic music from anywhere, past or present (completely obscuring the classification's original temporal and geographic implications). Nevertheless, coldwave can and has been prominently used to refer to any music associated with the French post-punk scene of the 1980s, and it's that more generalized definition that we're using here. To further argue our point, coldwave originated as a guitar-driven form of post-punk, most clearly influenced by the icy, austere punk of Joy Division (and other Factory Records bands produced by Martin Hannett), as well as early goth rock and "darkwave" music from the likes of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. The other major influence on the scene was the electronic futurism of Kraftwerk. But limiting coldwave to just synth music is both reductive and ahistorical. These quibbles aside, the coldwave style - whether synth-based or more traditionally rock/pop oriented - is most recognizable for its distant, impersonal performance style and often unemotional, blasé, and/or naive lyrical themes.

This show is hardly a complete, or even representative, survey of the 1980s French coldwave scene (or genre, movement, whatever you want to call it). Indeed, we've easily got enough additional music to fill another few hours of radio. It may not happen immediately, but stay tuned for a follow-up broadcast sometime in the not-too-distant future.

For now, here's the playlist for Part 1 of Coldwave (1980s French Post-Punk & Underground Rock), which was broadcast on Thursday, August 7, 2014:

Unfinished Business, Part 1 (1980s Post-Punk)


Over the past year or so, we've dedicated different series of Way Out broadcasts to the musical genres/movements of 1980s and early 1990s U.K. indie-pop, 1980s U.S. punk and hardcore, and shoegaze and its roots (among other topics). It seemed about time that we devoted an extensive series to one of our other favorite genres, and one that we constantly seemed to be skirting around with those other series: 1980s post-punk. Surely, we play post-punk music often within various other shows, but it's been awhile since we've delved deeply into the genre. And "post-punk" is an incredibly broad and diverse topic - not really a single genre so much as a category that includes a variety of genres and styles, from art punk, no wave, and dance punk to goth rock, industrial, darkwave, and synth-pop and new wave. So, we knew it was going to take quite a bit of time to provide an in-depth (although hardly comprehensive) survey of the genre.

Luckily, we have a 2-hour weekly slot throughout the summer. We decided to dedicate the entire month of July to the series: that's 5 shows, or 10 hours of radio, covering (mostly U.K.) post-punk music from the late 1970s and 1980s. Believe it or not, July is already over and there's still lots of great post-punk music that we didn't have a chance to play - so we'll likely continue this series for a couple more broadcasts in August. As is usual for us, the emphasis has been placed on more obscure artists, or lesser-known songs from more popular artists.

Here's the playlist for Part 1 of Unfinished Business (1980s Post-Punk), which was broadcast on Thursday, July 3, 2014:

Wire - "Two People in a Room"

Nick Cave - Man or Myth?, Part 1


2014 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Nick Cave. His latest studio album, The Bad Seeds' Push the Sky Away - probably his best-received record in a decade - was actually released back in 2013. Nevertheless, the momentum behind the album continues to build. This summer Cave and The Bad Seeds embarked on a North American tour that has produced rave reviews. And an impressionistic documentary of Cave's life and work, 20,000 Days On Earth, has been making the rounds - special screenings even accompanied by solo performances from Cave in select cities.

Cave isn't really the type for nostalgic, sentimental reminiscence. After all, he's only 56-years-old, he's seemingly in good health, and he has remained steadily prolific over the course of his nearly 40-year career. If anything, he's only become more productive and versatile in the past decade. Nevertheless, there seems to be something of a Cave-aissance afoot, with the wider underground music world suddenly waking up and remembering Cave's brilliance and showering him with much-deserved love and appreciation.

We've been rabid Nick Cave fans here at The Way Out for more than two decades (well, Andrew has at least, Diana's slowly but steadily been coming around to his post-Birthday Party stuff). We always knew we were going to do a Cave-themed show in the lead-up to The Bad Seeds' June 20th concert in Milwaukee (for which we bought pre-sale tickets way back in November). We just didn't quite realize how expansive it was going to be become. In the end, we ended up spreading the show out across two weeks and four hours of radio. It was our goal to dig out some real rarities and obscurities, including lots of guest appearances, collaborations, and non-album tracks. In addition, we explored the Birthday Party and Bad Seeds family trees, tracing out some of the other music that Cave's bandmates have made over the years.

Here's the playlist for Part 1 of Nick Cave - Man or Myth?, which was broadcast on Thursday, June 19, 2014:

The Birthday Party - "Hamlet"
Tuff Monks - "After the Fireworks"
