THE SUEVES - Tears of Joy

Vinyl records are available for purchase at the Bigcartel link below, self-released through Joe Schorgl's very own label, Magicatalog. Every sleeve is individually screen-printed and hand-numbered -- a very cute, DIY production through and through. I highly recommend picking one up. Alternatively, there is a Bandcamp link for those that don't subscribe to the analog worldview. Go bonkers.

"Tears of Joy" marks the third, and most latest, 12" display of The Sueve's diabolical rock and roll bravura. To those that have closely followed this channel throughout the years -- inexplicably --, I'm sure you are more than familiar with the tonal qualities of this band's musical efforts -- acidic, gritted, greasened, vastly-overdriven riffs sloughing from your stereo like an open wound, and cutting about just as deep. I could sing praises for The Sueves sonic incisions till the cows come home, but... well, I kinda already have. Between his involvement with The Sueves, Skip Church (https://skipchurch.bandcamp.com), Wülfpac (   • Keep Still. Be Silent. Dont Look Arou...  ), and even Joe & Otis (https://joeotis.bandcamp.com), I've made my infatuation with Joe Schorgl's musical stylings more than clear. Fucking *crystal*. So for fear of echoing these same sentiments for the umpteenth time, I'd rather let the music speak for itself on this one. The band is firing on all cylinders with this record, with a performance that's tight when it demands it, and noxiously groove-laden whenever the fuck it feels like it. It's pure garage rock and roll -- with a heavy emphasis on the "and roll" part -- that exemplifies the best Chicago rock has to offer as a whole. Err, maybe "had" to offer. I don't really know what's going on over there these days. But if The Sueves ever intend to play shows around the city once this virus melts into memory, then I guess Chicago's rock scene will still have something going for it.

Oh, and this LP's got some keyboards and loops and stuff in it. So maybe you aren't familiar with everything The Sueves has to offer.
