CLASH OF THE TINYS
Round 11: Covered in Bees vs. Huak
It’s death punk vs. political punk this week on Clash of the Tinys. Death-punk supergroup Covered in Bees faces the wirey, angular rock of Huak.
The Bees disbanded late last year following the release of Portland Steel, a short album that kicks off with “Tank vs. Spaceship.” However, they’re playing a reunion show at Geno’s this Halloween, and if you scream loud enough, who knows what might happen in 2012?
Huak’s “Monument” comes from their 2009 EP, Secret Trees. They’re still going strong, poised to release a new 10-track album, Yorba Linda, this fall. They’ll be at Flask Lounge on Oct. 10.
Last week, Gully blew away Honey Clouds to advance to the next round. Will Huak be stung into submission, or can political angst trump comedy metal? As usual, you decide…
Covered in Bees: “Tank vs. Spaceship“
Huak: “Monument“
About Clash of the Tinys…
Every Friday, The Bollard selects and posts two songs by Maine musicians or bands. You have a week to vote for your favorite using the Polldaddy thingy above. There are also links to hear each song. You can only vote once per poll. We’ll announce each week’s winner in the proceeding poll. Then, early next year, the winning songs will go head to head in a series of sudden-death playoffs, until we’re down to just two. Those two acts will face off live on stage, and then we’ll start another series of Clashes. (If a finalist is a band that is not currently playing shows, the hope is that the prospect of winning this Clash will compel a reunion.)
