Clare & the Reasons

Clare and the Reasons call Brooklyn home, but after touring around the world extensively for their first two albums with Van Dyke Parks, My Brightest Diamond, and on their own, they needed a new setting – one that would make them see and hear differently. For 8 months in 2011 they lived in an apartment on Berlin’s Bergstrasse, on the western edges of what used to be the East. They got a 1968 Schwalbe moped – model KR-51 – and sped around the city at a velocity the congested New York streets would have prohibited.

The Mongoloids are one of the most polarizing bands in hardcore right now. Most people either love them or hate them, but the number of Mongo-Stompers are increasing everyday. "Time Trials", their first LP, contains 14 songs of New Jersey Straight Edge for 2007 in the vein of bands like Sheer Terror and "Best Wishes" era Cro-Mags. Their musicianship and approach is miles ahead of their first seven inch.
