about

What you hold in your hands is the first Nod release from 1992, now on vinyl for the first time. Originally self-released as a CD, a subset of the recordings were perfectly re-mastered by James Plotkin for this slab of black vinyl.

During the “year punk broke”, this trio (and sometimes 4-piece) were holed up in a Western NY enclave, perfecting their craft of imperfections. A combination of studio and home recordings, this self-titled gem perfectly introduces you to the charming shambly rock which Nod has been creating for the past 30+ years. And after many self-released CDs and singles, and while getting “this close” with a stint on Steve Shelly’s Smells Like Records (Steve was the drummer of Sonic Youth), the band has been producing a solid string of releases for Rochester NY based Carbon Records.

The release includes driving/catchy tunes like Summertime and Running Into Trees, while It Don’t Bring Me Down has a perfect overlay of strumming guitar, similar to the guitar interplay of Bowie and Ronson circa ‘72, on top of a intense groove, while then breaking down into a slow warble, giving you enough time to take a swig. The meat of the release consists of a great combination of scratchy-guitar rockers... transitioning into the Dada-esque blues of Hot Potatoes, and then finally ending with Wooden Chair and Queens of Lattice, which could almost be cassette out-takes from Reed & co.

With more than 30 years behind us, this release is just as original and entertaining as back when I had it blaring from my dumpy apartment and beat- up car.

The digital-only version is available on the band's BC site - nodrock.bandcamp.com/album/nod

Strange Fortune

When pandemic pushes so many of us to marketably "meditative" products, Powers/ Rolin Duo show how invested ambient and drone can be in attention spans and impassivity. Matt DeMello (himself)

Sonic Youth is one of those bands where you easily run out of superlatives to describe what they created. This could've easily come off as a cynical cash-grab by a band that had broken up 11 years prior to the release of this record, but that's not what this is. Some of my favourite Sonic Youth instrumentals. sentient meat
