The ladies of Rio de Janeiro hip hop trio Pearls Negras have a new video out for Biggie Apple cut "Guerreira." From their fiery flows to their blaring, lasering beats, Alice, Jeni, and Mari are indeed up to some hot stuff right now. Even if you don't speak Portuguese, you're gonna pick up on some great vibes from this, especially from the wild ride the above video takes you on. Enjoy! And you can grab the mixtape here, as well.
UK post-punk outfit Savages drop a cinematic live video of their recently released single, "Fuckers." The footage is stunning, and the performance is, well, anything but concise. I wouldn't call it sloppy, but the band definitely seems "in the zone" on this one. The almost 10-minute rendition of this track shows the band getting lost in the moment between a lyrical mantra, tight drum beat, and a wall of wailing guitars. It's hard for me not to get caught up in it as well. The atmosphere is so incredibly sinister, and the visuals only lend power to that sensation. Enjoy! Also, check out the band's latest record, Silence Yourself, if you haven't already.
Beast Coast's Flatbush Zombies share a psychedelic video for the recent collaboration they did with Trash Talk titled "97.92." The fish eye on this thing is intense! Props to Aplusfilmz and Pier Pictures for the direction on this!
I guess the musical collab was brought together by Converse or something. While it doesn't seem like Trash Talk had that much "input" on the track, but it's said that Garrett Stevenson of Trash Talk produced the track. "97.92" probably isn't going to go up there with the likes of Public Enemy & Anthrax, but I think the trio drops some of the best bars they've released since their BETTEROFFDEAD tape. Enjoy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhuCyd3nqA&feature=youtu.be "Blackened crust" has got to be high in the running for nastiest genre name. Not many bands have a high enough filth factor to rise to this descriptor's occasion, but among the furious few is Young and in the Way. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, the quartet makes music that demands being set to frenetic footage of the band performing so hard that blood covers their faces, the frontman wretching at his reflection in a mirror held by a robed death figure, and naturally, myriad glass shit breaking. At least, that's the deal with their new single "Be My Blood," which could be called a treat if you're into some seriously confrontational music. If that's the case, check it out above and enjoy!
"Be My Blood" is taken from When Life Comes to Death, due out May 27 via Deathwish. It's their sophomore LP, after 2011's I Am Not What I Am.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1fnSQukBE4 Slow Animal is just 2 boyz based out of Philadelphia who wanna have fun. And fun they deliver on, producing energetic, surfy kinds of punk tunes that fans of Wavves are likely to enjoy. They also have a cat, judging from this black and white video for their new single "Other Side," just in case the music itself isn't fun enough. An EP of the same name is due out next Monday, and yeah, it's probably gonna be a good time. Check out the song above and enjoy!
The duo also dropped this four-track demo back in 2010 that you should give a quick listen if this type of music is your bag.

tUnE-yArDs drop an incredibly fun, creative, and colorful video for the track "Water Fountain," which is one of many cuts that'll be featured on the band's next full-length, Nikki Nack. The album is dropping the first week of May via 4AD.
West Coast rapper SPEAK has always been a little hit-or-miss despite a confident flow and lyrics that could border on absolute nonsense. However, on his new track "Mazda Blues" he goes in with some of his his best verses yet.
The lyrics here are still mostly punchlines, but they all hit and leave an instant mark. SPEAK doesn't really leave listeners wondering, "what exactly does that mean?" What makes this song even greater is the absolutely huge beat from producer MMAC coming in with a great sample and a kick heavy beat that'll knock you off your chair; it also compliments SPEAK's style extraordinarily well.
