Elk Milk has produced a four track EP and is playing an official release show at JJ's Bohemia on Saturday March 17th. Lead Isaac Houck tells us in an email about the creation.
"The whole idea behind our E.P. was very inspired by the D.I.Y. ethic of the 80's underground bands. To make something with our own hands, from start to finish, regardless of our lack of know how. We have been very inspired by some of our favorite artist who did the same thing at their beginnings."
Elk Milk has made very good impressions with their live shows. Our Winterfest show at Track 29 proved their rich sound and the thoughtful song work have really taken shape ove rthe past year. A particular strong point on the EP is the track 'Blue Hills'. Melodic, just enough hooks and the right amount of raw power to keep it in the que for the Summer playlist.
Kids, it's one jam packed week for music here in our neck of the woods. We thought you might need a bit of a rundown to keep you on the spot. Here goes....

THE PINEHILL HAINTS (Happy Valentines!) w/ Zippers To Nowhere
- This might be a Valentines day prank since the only evidence of this show was some ink scratched on a piece of notebook paper found at The Pickle Barrel. The F-grade art project was actutally hung on one of the columns, so we expect the promotion was meant to be taken seriously...however executed. All we can say is that we truly hope the 'Haints are actually playing. This will (would?) be the best thing you could ever take your sweet something to for that special night out

FAST BOYS - 7" Release of Suck It
Among the local bands who issue their music on vinyl are the Fast Boys, a straight-forward rock band who recently released "Suck It," and unmastered seven-inch recording on the Youngmonster label. "Suck It" is, in our humble opinion, exactly the type of release you want, no...need, to listen to on a turntable. Of course, you can listen to the stream of the title song here as a digital file, but you should not be satisfied with that. No, you should not. This bit of chemical resin has a spirit and sound impossible to digitally duplicate.
The sound of Fast Boys is reminiscent of the past, minus the pandering revival. It’s simply, utterly, Rock N’ Roll. The guitars buzz with forceful, fuzzed compression; the hooks are front and center, clear and penetrating. The drums propel the controlled yet chaotic compositions and the Boys' vocals are as distinct and raw as their sound.
This record demands your attention and rewards you immediately. Kudos and credit goes to Mike Pack and Alex Norfleet at Revolution Sound Studios for their noteworthy engineering. You just can’t imagine this coming from any other band except Fast Boys. It’s their own sound, their lyrics...they own this.
To experience the Fast Boys live, check out the band's record release party on Friday, Dec. 23, at Lindsay Street Hall with guests Real Drag and stand-up comedy from Tony Levi. Go. Listen. Pick up your seven inches of goodness. Or, as the Boys would say: "Suck It." — Zach
