?Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Catheters! Though the words may have you hoping your caregiver is scrubbed and sober, these Catheters are nothing like a cheerful nurse with a plastic tube. They are, in fact, more like a garbage truck crashing into a burger joint: drums stomping like the footfalls of helpless diners running for their lives, guitars all stinky and full of chunks, bass a diesel rumble, and a guy in the cab of the truck hollering about how pissed he is that somebody put a burger joint in his way. Add some kids wiping out on banana peels beneath a hail of flying beef and you?ve got the basic idea. It?s what the young folks call the Rock and Roll, dig? Being relatively young folks themselves, The Catheters bring real energy to a genre that's too often about going through the motions.? (Courtesy Matt Wright ? Gas Huffer) Formed back when they were just toddlers (1995), and taking a band name completely at random (??cause it sounded punk?), and generally creeping into the consciousness of a very tired rock & roll community, these bratty, young wonderpunks present a powerful punk & rock synthesis as filtered through the sensibilities of kids that don't know any better.
An escalating drum roll opens Our Ill Wills, the sophomore album from Shout Out Louds… and rightly so. It's been a few years since the release of their first full-length record, the critically acclaimed, Howl Howl Gaff Gaff, and anticipation is great. But the band's been anything but idle. These last years have seen their passports fill up with stamps and their photo albums with snap shots from all corners of the world. They've done their own headline tours as well as being the support act of choice for bands such as The Strokes, The Magic Numbers and Kings Of Leon. Being on the road means you have plenty of time to think, to drink, to reminisce on the past. To play computer games. To miss loved ones. To get lost in new towns. To misbehave and to get your priorities in order. It's all there, on Our Ill Wills, out September 11th on Merge Records. Well, maybe not the computer games so much.

On today's Buzz Out Loud, why "your stupid face" works to get you to install malicious software, why eBay just flat out isn't for small sellers anymore, and why you shouldn't trust your IT guy...or at least not one in three of them.
