Nope, in spite of the title, yer not going to hear any Hawkwindy space rock or anything like that; instead, this is the grubby new debut from Git Some, a Denver band which has a couple of members of the mucho-missed Planes Mistaken For Stars. The disbandment of Planes Mistaken For Stars was a complete downer last year; I was a latecomer to their brand of grungy, gnarled indie rock, having gotten into them with their album Up In Them Guts, and only got to see them live once. To me, PMFS sounded like a dirty, crusty, somewhat metallic version of The Afghan Whigs, dark and emotionally heavy, with a knack for crushing, deviously catchy riffs and awesome lyrics dripping with desperation and frustration. Their last album Mercy was their best, but the band threw in the towel too damn soon, announcing their breakup a mere few months after the albums release. Some of the members had other bands that they were involved with (like the gothy alt-country of Ghost Buffalo), but none of them seemed to come close to the power that Planes had.

Now there's Git Some, a newer band from Denver that features guitarist Chuck French and bassist Neil Keener from Planes Mistaken For Stars, and while their sound is very different from the gnarled, doomy indie rock of Planes, Git Some are the heaviest band that I've heard so far to have crawled from the ashes of PMFS. In fact, these guys are much skuzzier than their previous band, playing a raucous sort of post-punk somewhere in between Black Flag's feral intensity and the jagged, hardcore-informed rock of early 90's bands like Jesus Lizard, Drive Like Jehu and Circus Lupus. Which is a recipe I dig in a big way. Wiry guitar gristle wraps around thick distorted bass guitar, rubbery grooves are furiously executed over pounding, tightly wound drums; and the singer's hoarse, bloodied yelling is perfect for Git Some's thrashing noise-punk, like David Yow on a meth binge.

We have this ripping album on both CD and vinyl; the vinyl comes in a full color gatefold sleeve on limited edition red colored vinyl, with a coupon for a digital download of the album for yer MP3 device.
