Tyvek
Named after a popular brand of synthetic home-siding, Detroit lo-fi garage rockers Tyvek started gaining recognition in 2008 alongside fellow noise poppers Vivian Girls, Times New Viking, and Eat Skull. After recording a multitude of singles and 7"s for the labels X, What's Your Rupture, M'Lady's Records, S-S, and Subpop, the band took a year to record their first full-length, which was scheduled for release on Siltbreeze in spring of 2009. The band's release date was postponed for undisclosed reasons and the band underwent a name change (likely pres...[more]

Order and receive mp3s of all four tracks now! Alienated nowness banged out for love and bro-dom and drinks. Think half the monks, half the electric eels, playing half japanese's gear.

Following a gaggle of 7"s for goose-y labels such as X!, What's Your Rupture?, S-S, and M'Lady's Records, Tyvek delivers a long-player that couldn't make Siltbreeze happier were the colonel slathered in foie gras and seared to a crisp. A few tracks on this effort are familiar to any who saw the band live in 2008; the rest, well, it's as fresh as new fallen snow when you get right down to it. Combining an uncanny channeling of The Urinals and early Mekons, Tyvek drops jaws to floors [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. REPRESSED! Tyvek's first single is a savage broadside that attacks car culture (Side B) and the mass media's promotion of anti-psychotic drugs for the youth as a cure for demonic possession (Side A). The sound is distorted, all cheap old guitars and busted up drums, and the playing is usually teetering on the edge of ineptitude, at times falling off completely. The tunes and lyrics are straight outta overgrown abandoned lots and decrepit playgrounds, and there are plenty of strange little bone [ read more ]
