I posted about Plastic Crimewave earlier but I feel like this band deserves more than just a blip. PCWS is seriously good. I mean what more can I say about this stuff? It’s simple music: loud, spazzy, solid goodness spanning from cavern-aged punk to lonely, hollowed out psych/folk. Music for every mood and moment of youth.
You can stream PCWS solo tracks at this site and listen to even more music on their myspace page.

Also, in true mid-west punk spirit, PCWS serves as a historical site for unsung heros from their hometown Chicago. You can find detailed and beautifully hand-drawn trading cards of the “Secret History of Chicago” as well as his psychedelic magazine “Galactic Zoo Dossier” on the PCWS site. From a kid who got his musical backbone firmly established by the Kent, OH punk scene I get a warm and fuzzy feeling about that kind of stuff. Community is very important to me and, obviously, to PCWS as well. Dig it.
