Tinsel Teeth- demo CDR (2010)

Some more recent history here with Tinsel Teeth's untitled/self-titled demo CDR from 2010. If you got to see them in their prime you know the deal, and if not you missed out HARD. They recently did an Original Lineup reunion show at Aurora in Providence that brought them right back to their half-naked blood-splattered glory.
I won't go on much about the band itself as there's plenty of readily available press online:

This was their first demo. Six tracks listed, plus a "hidden" cover of "Negative Creep" by Nirvana. Handwritten track listing on the back and original art by Will from White Mice on the front.
Nasty, filthy shit.

Mix Ape- Found In the Street Tape Vol 1 CDR (2004)

The first of many such posts of Mat Brinkman's multi-pseudonymous "Mix Ape" series. This first one was spliced together from "approximately 88 1 ft lengths spliced in no particular order" from "tapes/tape pieces found in Olneyville/Providence streets 199?-2004. 100+ tapes."
There ya go. 13 untitled tracks of precisely that. Heavy on the latin dance, hip hop and children screaming.

various artists- MISH MASH MUSH MAXIMUM MEGA MIX VOL 1 (2000)

For this beautiful Friday the 13th we've got the first volume of the Mish Mash Mush Maximum Mega Mix series curated by Mat Brinkman of Forcefield. The first three came out together out of Fort Thunder in 2000, with extremely minimal packaging in plain jewel cases.
These featured an extremely eclectic mix of styles ranging from field recordings of the old East Side train tunnel, spazzed out noise rock, musique concrete, bedroom electronics, straight up harsh noise, and a liberal dose of one-offs and joke tracks (doo-wop acapella Black Flag cover, anyone?). The lineup is also all over the place and could probably only be fully deciphered by Brinkman himself, with a handful of more etablished names like Mindflayer, 25 Suaves, Libythth, Jeff Hartford (Noise Nomads), a few more obscure acts of the time, as well as a good amount of what I suspect are joke names and pseudonyms (if Bronchitis Brothers isn't some incarnation of Olneyville Sound System I'll eat my shoe.)
This is the first of three in the initial MMMMMM series, with the other two coming soon.
Classic American freak noise history absolutely not to be missed.

(Note: after several tries I was unable to rip track 10 from my copy, so had to include the best rip I could find on Soulseek, which is unfortunately only at 192kbps as opposed to the strict 320 I've been keeping things at. If I find a better copy I'll re-upload the whole thing proper.)

Dave & Steve- demo CDR (2005)

Here's a fun little quickie.
Short-lived instrumental prog-metal duo out of Woonsocket featuring neither a Dave nor a Steve. Soon after they gained a bassist and 2nd guitarist and became Bonestorm, who eventually morphed into Thrillhouse.
The first anybody outside of Woonsocket had heard of them was when they played early in the afternoon at the first Fancy Fest at AS220 in 2005. They slayed the small early crowd enough that it was demanded that they come back and play a better spot later in the evening. The geared back up hours later in a primo time slot in front of a packed room and totally smoked the place.
This is the lil 3-song, 6-minute CDR they were giving away at that show, recorded surprisingly well for a freebie demo. Short n sweet. Fun stuff.

Unicorn Hard-On - "Unicorn Hard-On no. 3" CDR (2004)

 What can I say about Unicorn Hard-On that hasn't been said already? In the past decade Val Martino has established herself as the reigning queen of rhythmic noise and noisy techno. Val was doing the beat-based noise thing AGES before the current trend of technoise, and was and still is doing it better than 90% of the rest. Her mastery of the Korg Electribe is unequaled.
Technically Val was not living in Providence at the time this particular CDR was made and put out, but being a longtime Providence resident at this point I think it's still a valid local entry.
She has since released tapes, cdrs and vinyl on labels such as Deathbomb Arc, tanzprocesz, I Just Live Here, More Records/Hot Releases, and most recently her full length LP on the eMego offshoot Spectrum Spools.
This is one of her earliest offerings, simply titled "Unicorn Hard-On no.3" which I got from her when she was living in Philadelphia in 2004. The beats are still there, but mostly take a back seat to blown-out, chopped-up vocal samples and squealing delay-pedal abuse. Nine untitled tracks of truly bent freak electronics.
