Atlanta Album Preview: Fag Static


Awesome Ficcanaso album cover art

Fag Static is one of the multitude of projects that have popped up since the at-least-temporary-demise of the Blame Game. If you are unfamiliar with BG, you would do yourself a disservice to not go and look deep into their catalogue because they were a serious force to be reckoned with in the ATL. Fag Static has their first LP about to drop called Ficcanaso and it will be available August 26th. Both this release and the Thy Mighty Contract album are coming out with support of the Room 10 Collective and Ficcanaso will be out on Vagina Flambe later this year. While we all eagerly anticipate getting our grubby hands on it, here are a couple of tracks to keep us pacified for now:

Fag Static : Ficcanaso : Off But On

Fag Static : Ficcanaso : Growing Now

Serious intensity! You can catch them live this Saturday night at The I Can Fly House.

Atlanta Album Preview: Thy Mighty Contract

Supergroups can range anywhere from terrible (Velvet Revolver) to ridiculously awesome (Loose Fur, Swan Lake). So far from what I have heard of Thy Mighty Contract, made up of members of Atlanta institutions such as Blame Game, Fag Static, The Orphins, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, and Narcolepsy, they are definitely leaning in the awesome direction. I think one of the coolest things about this collective is how well each different sound seems to compliment the others. Their self-titled album should be available later this summer, but until then, you can catch them tonight at WonderRoot. Here’s a track from the forthcoming record to jam:
