It’s That Time Of The Year Again…

Leave a comment

Today I turn 22. Happpy Birthday to me! In the 22 years I have existed on this planet I have experienced vast amounts of jaw droppingly exhilerating, brain damaging, and straight up feel good music. In honor of my day of birth, here’s a piece of one of my favorite feel good bands. Kisses!

Flashback 2010: Harlem and Magic Kids!

1 Comment

This post is dedicated to two FABULOUS bands that came to prominence in 2010: Harlem and Magic Kids. Both Harlem and Magic Kids are honorary KLYAMERS (our favorite bands), but unfortunately they sort of vanished after 2010/2011. Does anybody know what happened to either of these bands?! I know Curtis O’Mara from Harlem has been keeping busy with other projects, as Glen has posted before, but I haven’t heard anything official for either band. In any situation, we wish them both the best of luck and wish to share their wonderful music with anyone that missed out on their big HYPE(s) two years ago. Alas, most music outlets merely cover artists when they are on the rise or when they are “hip.” KLYAM genuinely loved (and loves) these bands, so this post is for them!

SOTD: Germs- “Richie Dagger’s Crime” (1979)

5 Comments

Today is just a Germs day! This is probably my favorite Germs number. What’s yours? Haha that sounds like some bizarre personal ad: Hi, I’m Chris I Like the Germs, what’s your favorite Germs song? Someday maybe. You know it’s funny we usually do not cover too much hardcore punk or whatever you want to call it, but this old school shit has always been a major staple in the landscape of my musical taste. Definitely the bands we chronicle here owe a huge debt to the early punker troubadours and their music itself usually pays it back. One can find elements of the Germs in the Black Lips, at least I for one believe so. Cheers to that!
