Update: Room 101 Review + Show (Tonight!)

It’s been a while, I know, since I posted an update up here (like, um, August?), but believe it or not, SCR hasn’t been asleep — even with Ike delivering the smackdown on Houston, we’ve kept putting up new stuff…

I’ll hit the whole list soon, but the most pressing one’s the brand-new review of the demo we received from local noisemaker and one-man-band Room 101 a few months back. It’s a flat-out raw, noisy, squall of punk-ish (yet not really “punk”) rawk that brings to mind folks like The Paper Chase, Cop Shoot Cop, & Barkmarket; I went in with fairly low expectations, but the disc delivered a heck of an uppercut. Check out the full review here.

Got it up last night, btw, because Room 101’s playing tonight, Sat., November 1st, up at Rudyard’s — they’re playing with fellow local heroes The Hates, The Delta Block, & Anarchitex. From the flyer, it looks like Room 101’s on first, so I’d get there early; the show’s supposed to start around 9:30PM. Gonna be a good one…
