Despite early hype, a 3.4 rating from Pitchfork made certain that Drugstore Beetle’s debut album “Better With Soup Than Without” would also be their last. The one-line review of the album would serve as Drugstore Beetle’s eptiaph: “Better without. Trust me.” [link]
The Best of ‘Wikipedia Names Your Band’
Some truly brilliant work from BuzzFeed readers over this weekend in creating a couple of hundred totally convincing rock albums using the Wikipedia Album Generator. Objectively speaking, this may be one of the best things that has ever happened - I'm still checking back every hour or so to look at the new ones. Here are a few of my favorites so far. You can make your own to add to the collection here.

The poor children

Amazing Irish indie-folksinger Cyril O'Reilly with his stunning debut 'with my first wife'

Honestly, this record is way to emo for me… I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought it.
-
“attention by external opportunities” – wow.

The cd of Angelina Amaris will do you much

A great debut album from: “Bark” Behind the misleading album cover lies a whole new experience of pure Rock 'n Roll!

Here's mine, best out of about an hour session.

Transverse Volcanic Leopard Frog have rightfully earned themselves a place in the electro heavens. TVLF's latest album “infinite spaces fill me with dread” is a godlike fusion that focuses on evolution, consciousness, & an avoidance of overspecialization. This raucous blend of mechanic noises and impetuous vocals will expand your mind and push the decibels.

Recording of Transmission's Debut album.

shameless screamindie band

“Jonas Norberg is the inventor of The Pacemaker, the pocket-size DJ system and founder of Tonium, the company developing the product”. Well I've never heard of it, but I have heard of his solo album titled 'insanity in individuals'.

'survival' is the debut album from French 'Techno headz' Petit-Bourg. Like a cross between Basement Jaxx and Squarepusher's earlier offerings, this is s surefire party starter and finisher in one.

'Something must be done about them' is the new acclaimed album from Welsh, lo-fi/Drone/Post Rock trio - Tecumseh. Released hot on the heels of their four month US tour, supporting the likes of Heavy Winged, Inca Ore & C*nts with Roses, the album is a dark, reassuringly unnerving, comfort blanket of filth, with all the wrongness and shameful amusement of a travelling freakshow. Delicious!
