Here's the Terminal Boredom review!

Know what? This PLAYBOY 12'' from Negative Jazz is also the best record to come out in 2017 thus far. I cannot stress ho much I enjoy this one enough. I've listened to it 100 times by now easily and it keeps getting better. A four song 12'' 45rpm monster called ''Celebration'' that weighs in just under 18 minutes or so, it's unlike much else out there. Flipper is the no-brainer comparison, but it's true - rubbery, gooey, sex beat/sax bleat, smart and degenerate lyrics. This is not some rehash sludgefest though, there's something airy about the sound, almost spacey. Vocals are perfect, they sound strained but he's not really yelling, the delivery is fittingly odd, and he's often answered by the sax (as on ''Outside''). It's truly weird, in that I haven't heard much like it around - not some predictably weird-punk stock moves you've come to expect. Pretty sure there's no guitar player, did I mention that? Anyway, these dudes are from Montreal and are the best thing outta there in some time - and Playboy have an Omega or two or more in their ranks from what I'm told, and I like Omegas, but this Playboy shit blows them away. Artwork matches the bizarre tunes to a tee and thank god for the lyric sheet that's full of more strangeness and charm - I've been trying to figure the words out for a good 2-3 months, and I wasn't even close. Go buy this immediately, please. (negativejazz.bigcartel.c om)

Here's what Feel it has to say:

Celebration will turn your mind to mush. Playboy have crafted a filthy four-song declaration to mindlessness and depravity here. My first thought upon hearing this was, "Holy shit! This sounds like David Thomas (Pere Ubu) fronting Flipper." And I mean, I think there's some truth to that statement. Emerging from Montreal, (and I believe there's an Omegas connection) Playboy exude a brand of bass-driven, sax-drowned depression rock that sits well between the scummiest downer punk and some of the more depraved moments of early noise rock. Anyone into truly ugly, fringe shit like Easter Monkeys, No Trend, or Lubricated Goat is going to flip for this 12". Tons of replay value, a great one to drive people outta your house with or to simply commiserate the shit world we live in. Negative Jazz.

OUT NOW: PLAYBOY "Celebration" 12'' EP on Negative Jazz

https://soundcloud.com/neg-jazz/playboy-the-traffic

Most representations of the 'outside' never really get the chance to interact with things that are truly ugly. The truth of 'disgust' isn't in being inapproachable or unlistenable, it's about creating a space where balances are disrupted and intent overshadows form. It's too slow to dance to, it's out of tune, it shrieks instead of shouts, its confidence is wrapped up in how uncomfortable it sounds to make. If Benny Goodman playing a post serial, orgiastic sneeze on the set of Touch of Evil sounds appealing; If an examination of timbral hell, the membrane of the uphill, the degradation of your untouched psyche is what we've all been waiting for, let us come together in this, a Celebration: Playboy.

^^^^^^ 

Here's a better description of the Lurking ep from Sorry State:

: Debut 7" from this band out of Cleveland, Ohio. I loved their demo, and if you did too it's a good bet you'll love this 7" as well. Those infectious, Comes-style vocals are still very much present, but for some reason this time around the band sounds way more "Cleveland" to me. They still have a total bulldozer guitar sound that reminds me of Fang at their very best, but there's just something a bit edgier and more nihilistic to the music, which is definitely a quality that I associate with Cleveland punk. With six songs on this 7", Lurking in the Corner of Cleveland Ohio really eats like a meal, and when you throw in some pretty cool artwork I think you end up with a must-buy hardcore record.

Elective Affinities is doing it. I believe they have already started to put these together and should be ready in the near future. I can't remember what was said but I had the impression that all of the zines will be put in one big volume.
