1. The Taxidermists
Dammit I just found out they broke up, and Rhett, their bass player, is moving to Seattle to become a professional fisherman!?! What the fuck? They were like a reincarnation of The Stooges, and fucking every show I ever saw with them was packed. RIP.
2. Bedrockers
So I catch them for the first time at Warped Tour Camden last year, and I thought they were fucking AWESOME. Real high energy, excellent music, straight-up punk attitude - and their bass player being George Halfling from The Halflings, unreal! So then I caught them at a tuesday night show at Full Circle Records, and the next thing I know, they're broken up! WTF? And yes, I bought everything I could from them. Their "Suck Knob on Zero" EP is still on repeat. RIP.
3. Atom and his Package
Why, oh why, Atom? Why? WHY!!! Eh I know why, his wife was having a kid and he wanted to settle down. But still, WHY!!! RIP.
4. NOP73HS
Flat out punk from Philly, I got wood every time I listened to them. Their subsequent project, The Number Theory, is way too polished. Let's have a return to raw garage rock like NOP73HS touted out there. No? Shit. RIP.
5. Minus Bluff
I realize that Joel Roberts' new venture, The Nodd, is a journey into art-rock, and it's cool and all, but damn, Minus Bluff was so much more appealing to me. Songs like Meat Car and Climb A Mountain are classics. It's just a shame their husband/wife bandleaders had to break up. Kids, stay off the White Horse, that's all I'm saying. RIP.
