2 new (free) electro/rock/experimental EPS

[holden]

Hello!
My netlabel, Believe in Billy Records
http://sites.google.com/site/believeinbillyrecords/
is proud to release two very different, but very enjoyable EPs for early 2010:

The Abscraps EP:

The debut EP of musical collaborations by Peter Nester and Brian Ruskin (also known as holden, Mental Health Consumer and AViD).
Six songs of angular, melodic guitar lines meshed with electro production. From the heavily layered atmospheres of the opener "Be Home By Dark" (included on the 2008 darksounds.org comp.), to the emotive folk of Peter Nester's live favorite "Bender" to more experimental, minimal jams, Abstract sounds plus scraps of various genres equals the Abscraps debut EP on Believe in Billy Records.

Skinny Knockdown: Masti Huba EP:
Listening to this 5-track EP brings to mind Pearl Jam, Dinosaur Jr., The Pixies, fIREHOSE, The Rolling Stones and other practitioners of no-nonsense rock and roll. And yet, these songs have their own identity altogether. What does unify Skinny Knockdown with their influences is their straight forward, lo-fi approach to the music, with a propulsive beat and sturdy blues backbone. Recorded with minimal overdubs, these 5 songs were laid down in one take back in 1995, but still resonate 15 years later. Consider this your doggie bag from a greasy burger joint that was steamrolled and turned into a parking lot more than a decade ago. You shoulda been there.

Thanks to those that have checked this out -we've gotten a nice, international response!

I realize this may be a bit "rock" for those craving the electro-vibes, but the "Skinny Knockdown" is a well-produced chunk of 90's alt nostalgia, and i'm proud to have helped produce "The Abscraps" as probably my most minimal production, just a bit of beats and bleeps, made substantial by my friend's guitar prowess.

Thanks for checking it out, we really appreciate your curiosity and interest!
