Tyvek. What can you say about these dudes? They are unimpeachable smartasses, unrelenting musical scumbags, and seemingly totally unconcerned about being as awesome as they are. They finally have an album coming out on Siltbreeze this spring and are touring their balls off starting tonight in Detroit and continuing through SXSW and into April. We just got this new song off that album and it is exactly what we want from them: 1 minute 21 seconds of grimy, somewhat peturbed garage punk. We highly recommend seeing them when they come to town. Buy them beers while you're at it.
