We’ve already mentioned our love for shredding, loudmouthed Brooklyn power trio Goes Cube a couple few times, but the guys have new songs — their heaviest yet — so we figured we should bring ‘em up again: “Song 46″‘s not a fuck-you song; instead, it eventually builds into some kind of Drive Like Jehu burner only with more AmRep’s and fewer sideways twists. We love the beginning, too, uncoiling with Unwound’s sense of feedback as a flotation device.

The bludgeoner’s one of four songs recorded by Foreign Islands’ Dean Baltulonis at his Wild Arctic studio in Long Island City, shortly after the boys returned home from tour. Where the tunes’ll eventually end up isn’t so clear: Guitarist/Vocalist David Obuchowski tells us they plan to do a single with an unnamed UK label, and mentioned they have enough material for a full-length follow-up to Beckon The Dagger God ? now someone needs to be smart and sign ‘em!

If you want to hear more Goes Cube, own a pair of earplugs, and are in NYC this weekend, you can catch them live Friday at the Bowery Ballroom with Stereo Total and the Octopus Project, and on Saturday for our NYC blog bretheren’s After The Jump Festival, a day-long charity event organized by a couple dozen bloggers, featuring Locksley, Ra Ra Riot, Spectrum, etc., at Studio B in Brooklyn. If you want to thank the organizers, they’ll be the ones taking lots of pictures. It’s like our lifeblood.

Haptic cube lets you feel tomorrow's temps
An Arduino controller connected to the cube is the brains behind the operations. As the concept goes, the user enters location information into a web application. The cube is automatically adjusted to the temperature according to the next-day forecast.
Rubik’s Cube
It just goes to show you how far a person can go in life after ... Today it looks a lot more like a Rubik’s cube with none of the colors matching up. Reds are colliding with yellows and blues are exploding against the greens.

    easily my favorite new new york band, great new song, killer live

  2. seen them a bunch of times live and they are awesome – its like someone mashed grunge and fugazi and/or at the drive in together and created a screaming sledgehammer riff laying monster rock baby. sometimes indie rock these days forgets to actually ROCK – not so with these guys. awesome.

  3. Subinev.com just did a really funny interview with them too: http://subinev.com/newblog/archives/001009.php

  4. Goes Cube are amazing, can’t wait for the Bowery Show…
