Sweeping Promises, Tyvek, Gee Tee, Shogun, Abi Ooze, Buio Omega, SPLLIT, more. - Author: Evan Minsker - Tags: blog [***BATTLE FOR L.A.: a see/saw benefit***](https://see-sawdotfun.bandcamp.com/album/battle-for-l-a-a-see-saw-benefit?ref=see-saw.fun) features 40 previously unreleased punk and rock'n'roll songs. In an effort to help individuals and families who lost homes in the Eaton and Palisades fires, proceeds will be allocated to multiple [fundraising efforts](https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/wildfire-relief/california?ref=see-saw.fun) for those in need of assistance. It’s a massive pile of music for $10, or whatever additional amount you’d wanna give, [on Bandcamp](https://see-sawdotfun.bandcamp.com/album/battle-for-l-a-a-see-saw-benefit?ref=see-saw.fun). [There are 100 cassettes available via **Knuckles on Stun**](https://www.knucklesonstun.com/shop/p/vhwvgqelg7xvncj66d0hjnqkr6og9l?ref=see-saw.fun). Half are on transparent red tapes, the other half on transparent yellow. They’ll include download codes. They’re expected to ship by March 10\. I curated it, [**Tyler Nickell**](https://www.tylrnckll.com/?ref=see-saw.fun) did the artwork, and **Andres Wade** took care of mastering. --- My deepest, sincerest thanks to every artist who submitted a song. I’m still in some form of disbelief that **Shogun** dug into his hard drive and unearthed a ballad, Annie Sparrows from **Panel** entrusted me with the “Victoria” demo, Connie Voltaire wrote a new **Neo Neos** song called “see/saw,” **Buio Omega** went full Minneapolis with a Hüsker Dü cover, Rob Craig slid over a **DOOM III** track that stands up with his best Buck Biloxi and Giorgio Murderer stuff, **SPLLIT** finished up an old demo for this, and **Tyvek**—probably my favorite band on the planet**—**got together to record a new song for this. **Sweeping Promises** recorded their cover of the Prince-penned Bangles classic “Manic Monday” at their home studio in Lawrence, Kansas while working on their forthcoming as-yet unannounced new album. “I have a funny relationship to this song,” Lira Mondal wrote. “My mom was/is a huge Bangles fan, and when I was a little girl—like, 7 or 8—she made me memorize the song and sing it to her co-workers in the cosmetic aisle of a Wal-Mart (one of her many odd jobs growing up), and it’s one of the most bewildering memories I have of singing in public.” Shout out to all the Aussies who brought their A-game for this one, including **Gee Tee**, **Busted Head Racket**, **Billiam**, **the Judges**, **Meow Meow and the Smackouts,** and **Piss Wizard**. The comp closes with a stunning new song from **Chelsea**, and another member of the Submissives appears on track 30 under the name **Teetotaller**. It rules to have two absolute rippers from two of Detroit’s finest in **TY** and **COFFER**. I was legitimately giddy that **Adult Human Females** had an extra recording from their exceptional *Live at Tompkins Square Park* record from last year. Keeping it all in the family is the DC krautrock trio **Motherfuckers JMB & Co.**, who appear herewith “Kind.” That band features my cousin Marc Minsker on guitar/bass, Jim Thomson on drums, and Brian Weitz (Animal Collective’s Geologist) on hurdy-gurdy. Marc is one of my heroes and this band is extremely sick. All of these bands put out records I strongly recommend from the past year or so: **Bermuda Squares, Celebrity Sighting, Still Animals, Yuasa-Exide, Benzin, Twisted Teens, Shrudd, Waylon Thornton, nunofyrbeeswax,** and **Ace of Spit**.It means a ton to include the work of newer bands like **P. Noid**, **Answering Machines**, **Poo Poo Talks**, **Sonia,** and **Pizza King Girl**. The **Fugitive Bubble** track will appear on the band’s next full-length, which is coming soon on Sorry State. **Abi Ooze** never misses, and in the middle of a tour, sent over a hit. **Motorbike** are about to put out a new album, shout out Jerry for passing along a demo. Eau Claire’s **gash** embark on an odyssey with their track, which is exactly what I want and expect from their records. I enjoy **Beer**’s EPs more than I enjoy beer. This song kicking off with a huge burp? Mama mia. Thanks to all the punk rockers who made this project possible.
