From Providence Phoenix March 2012:
Their eighth studio effort, Splinter, finds guitarist Kyle Jackson, drummer Dan Ulmschneider, and bassist/vocalist Mark MacDougall peaking hard through concise and potent bursts of stoner sludge. Alt-rock fossils still hooked on vintage Dinosaur Jr., Silkworm, and Archers of Loaf should dig deep into their back catalog. Splinter was recorded in five sessions over two months, a marathon by SSG standards. Credit producer and local veteran musician Kraig Jordan (also of the Masons), who’s Plan of a Boy studio has become the go-to recording spot for SSG. Layers of Kyle Jackson’s guitar work resonate across Splinter on cuts “Curved Nerves” and “Triple EEE”, and if you listen closely, you’ll hear Jordan yelling through a bullhorn with swirling echoes. 75orLess brethren Mark Cutler, Bill Keough (Galvanize), and Joe Traynor (Vertical Twin) conjure a garage rock choir on a few tracks, including the opener “Ungroovy Feeling,” and the band reworked two cuts from the previous EP.

Six Star General releases their fifth album of all new material and seventh album overall. Recorded over two days in November with Scott Rancourt (The Masons, The diePods) at Summing Point Studios in Newport, half of the album had been recorded back in August but the masters went missing. Rather than focus on retrieving on the lost recordings, the band decided to re-record all the songs. Eleven tracks, including one instrumental and a cover of Cat Power’s “Metal Heart”. Influences include The Minutemen, Naked Raygun and Dinosaur Jr.

A mixed batch – three instrumentals, a few long psych-rock jams, an ode to the lead singer of The diePods, and short bursts of weirded out pop rock. In all, just about 45 minutes of music from outer space.
