A few weeks ago I’ve been contacted by Pierrick from Distile Records, an up and coming Paris/NY label focusing on instrumental/noise/math rock. I listened to one of their bands,SWIMS and right away the amazing Claypoolesque bass-tapping hit me. After listening to most of the label back-catalogue, I’m amazed with the quality of their roster.

Sacramento’s SWIMS is a twopiece with the bass sensation Paul Slack, who also plays for another amazing duo Planets once again on Distile. In fact Planets has just finished an east coast tour with one of my fave bands Ahleuchatistas and that was the reason I got contacted initially but fuckin’ failed to report in time as always.

Anyways at least we had the chance to check out the other bands on the Distile roster like French duo 37500 Yens, Geneva power trio Commodor who’ve just released a new album called Driving out of Focus, and Sacramento’s O! the joy, Looking for John G., Neptune, Sincabeza and One Second Riot.

Distile seems to have found their niche in no-bullshit rock music with fast, technical and noisy bands which will make mature listeners with a special taste in engaging music, salivate right away.
