I stumbled upon these guys today. I rarely stop long enough to listen anything on the internet. I am too impatient and I don’t like wading through 99.9% of shit to find something good. Needless to say, I don’t go looking for things. But this I couldn’t help but trip over on the internet today.

In the vein of The Cramps, The Fall, Suicide, and The Birthday Party, Lafayette’s Television Ghost tests the boundaries of rhythmic noise. Tense, manic vocals, aggressive drums, and the menacing attack of two guitars sends a distressing, eerie chill running down my spine. “The Nihilist” and “Babel” are corrosive numbers sparked with anxiety and saturated with Wire-like riffs that twist, turn, and swirl into the dark and ominous underworld of post-punk.

Television Ghost is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. It’s got a vibe that echoes of punk past. (It’s) Something I am all about. It’s dirty. It’s dissonant. It’s loud. It’s soon going to be mine. After listening to it I promptly placed an order for their records.
I certainly hope this Lafayette, Indiana band decides to tour and makes a stop in the Cleveland area.
Go listen for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
