#4: Akron/Family - S/T II: The Cosmic Birth and Journey of Shinju TNT
(Attached track: “Silly Bears”)

There really isn’t much in this world that Akron/Family can be compared to. They aren’t music. They are a party. A loud, obnoxious, ironically themed getting-fucking-blasted-with-your-grandmother kind of party. They are the musical equivalent of a kaleidoscope. At first you’re like, “hey, this looks like a telescope,” and then you put it to your virgin eyeball. For the rest of your day, all you want to do is drop acid and look into your kaleidoscope.

Side note: When I moved to NC, I borrowed a local band’s 16 passenger van to move my stuff. My buddy told me that I may have to clean glitter and fake blood out of the back of it because they used it to go to an Akron/Family show a couple nights prior. Akron/Family = a fucking party.

Side-side note: My alarm clock for the better half of last year was Akron’s “A AAA O A WAY”, which is the first half of this music video.

Honorable Mention: More Akron/Family, except this is the only thing that they put out this year. So, nothing.
