Marshall and the Martins have a blisteringly fast release cycle going, but please don't stand in the way because it seems to be working. This is the best of their stuff so far, with clean but punchy production and great variety. If they're going for something fun and bouncy, it bounces, if it's slow and creepy like the title track, it creeps. It sets out what it wants to do and the results and satisfying!

The name Aquaholics rings a bell for me, but I can't decide whether it's this band or the still active Dallas-based band. The description on their bandcamp page reads
"Recorded @ Sonic Iguana. Mastered by Mass Giorgini
The band started in 2006. Uploaded for upcoming 10 year anniversary. The band broke up before the album was ever finished or pressed."
A tsunami... of panties... the imagery....
Panty Tsunami has a good mix of quick dangerous songs and slower, dare I say sexier songs. Including a cover of Angelo Badalamenti's "Wild At Heart". There's even a sort of country influenced track "Red Sky".
Though this is the first time they've hopped onto my radar, Greaser's Garage is Melvin and the Creepers' 2nd LP. Inside you'll hear some gritty and tough instrumentals with some wild squeals and occasional fuzz. Pay as you want on bandcamp
The Phantom Operators have been cranking out songs like mad. This time we're in the desert, at least for two songs. Expect an unfriendly, shady sound on this one. And if you like it, they're pay-as-much-as-you-want
