Nate Laban is a songwriter born and raised in New Hampshire that has been writing, recording and performing for the last 20 years up and down the east coast of the U.S. Bands he has been in include, Brick House, The Frosting and skate punk band Wallos. Eric Ott has been playing in and around the region for 20 plus years himself and is a writer of critically acclaimed songs. Bands he has been involved with include The Bonnie Situation, Mercuryhat and his latest Eric and The Anxiety. Eric and Nate met at a party fellow songwriter Marty England had at his house in North Berwick, Maine a few years ago. They would meet up frequently for the next year or so and eventually it became a discussion between Eric and Nate to record something together and collaborate on a couple of songs. There was no pressure or time table adhered to and the recording took a year and a half to complete in Nate’s barn. The music itself has a good deal of 60’s pop rock influence, which is something they were striving for but not limiting themselves to. Themes range from soul suckers, failed one-sided relationships, lip balm, fresh new marriages to of course, isolation.

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.

The second EP release from New Bedford’s Nature/Nurture. Now expanded from a trio to a quartet, N/N stowed away in the Wamsutta Mills over the winter months in their freezing space and tracked the songs you hear on this EP. The shorter, noisier sound of EP001 has given way to longer, more nuanced songs with softer dynamics and a few keyboards added to the familiar wall of distorted guitars, bass, and drums. The entire mess was mixed and mastered into shape by Brian Cass of Overclock, Inc. Featuring re-recorded versions of 006 (from EP001) and 008 (from the now unavailable NBRock.net compilation) and 4 brand new songs.

In all, just about 45 minutes of music from outer space.

Lo-Fi rock and roll songs specifically recorded to be played very loudly on the stereo of a delivery vehicle. Do you like sloppy music with some kind of feeling? Suicide Bill and the Liquors do and try their damnedest to present 12 examples on this record. The songs sound pretty good on the CD player in Bill’s work car and the cassette deck in your Mom’s Escort.
