Ryan's Record Of The Week #11: "Criaturas" by Criaturas

Well hello again, rock n roll fans!  Welcome back to Ryan's Record Of The Week!

We made our way back down to Extreme Noise to have a little chat with Ryan and try to find something to soundtrack these dog days of summer.  Fortunately, Ryan had something to share with us:

Ryan turned us on to the new self-titled album from Austin, TX band Criaturas.  Along the way he discusses future plans for his Record Of The Week post, laments an empty store, reminds us that Criaturas is on their way to MPLS, and celebrates the existence of punk rock venue in Uptown!  All that plus a bonus cameo from the FedEx guy!  Have a look:

Boom!  Ryan comes through again.  For a better look at just what you're getting with Criaturas have a listen this clip:

There you have it, folks, some good old Texas hardcore to get you through April.  Be sure to swing by the VFW for that show this Tuesday, August 6th.  Only $6 and you'll catch a great show and perhaps meet your new best friend!

Extreme Noise is located at 407 W. Lake Street.  Just look for the place next to the saddle shop.  For more info you can visit their website here. If you're in the neighborhood make a point of stopping by Extreme Noise and saying "hello" to Ryan & everybody else.  Extreme Noise is run on a strictly volunteer basis and would love to meet some fellow rock n roll fans.

For more Newest Industry be sure to give us a follow on Twitter (@NewestIndustry1) to stay up on the work being done by all of our contributors.  More importantly, we have a Facebook page here.  Trivial as it seems stopping by and giving us a "Like" is a free & legitimate way to support the blog.

Ryan's Record Of The Week #5: 'The One And Only' OBN III's

Ryan presents: 'The One And Only OBN III's"

Hey, rock n rollers. Our good friend Ryan is back to talk about what's hot in the streets. Believe it or not, it's not his taxes.

Take a look while Ryan talks about the new album from The OBN III's, "The One And Only OBN III's."

Boom! Out of Austin, Texas, sounding like The Stooges, Dead Boys, Dictators... That sounds like a winning combination.

For a look at just what The OBN III's are all about, watch this clip of them playing, "No Way To Rock And Roll."

Damn! Wish we'd known about that St. Paul show...

Speaking of which, if you were at that show in St. Paul last month and weren't able to cop that new LP or if you're just looking for one last album to soundtrack your summer, well, get down to Extreme Noise and give it a spin. Ryan's down there, looking even more handsome than he does in the videos.

For more on The OBN III's, check out their Facebook page here or their Bandcamp page here.

As always, thanks to Ryan. Puttin' the scene on his back, doo.
