Music Little Cuts on Dirtnap
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 2:14 PM
Dave Hernandez was frontman of the legendary Scared of Chaka, but Portlanders might know him better as a former member of the Shins. Now Hernandez, who's currently based in Seattle, has been doing time over the past couple years with his new band, Little Cuts. The group—which also includes Andrew Church and David Weeks from the Cops, plus Old Haunts' Curtis James (who has since left the band)—was put together as a result of Hernandez's time with the Shins, which "left him anxious for a return to the louder and more chaotic leanings of his earlier bands."
Portland label Dirtnap Records is releasing Little Cut's new EP, Plastic Disaster, and it's an excellent three-song ticking time bomb scrappy rock 'n' roll, with melodic-pop architecture. Take a listen to the fantastic A-side (and title track) right now, and get the rest over on Dirtnap.

Ken puts out so many great records, he gets huge props in my book. Some of my favorite records over the last 7 years have been Dirtnap releases.
Bad Sports - Kings of the Weekend

Busy Signals - S/T
Career Suicide - Cherry Beach (repress)
High Tension Wires - Everything that he has put out
The Mind Spiders
Estranged - Both Elpees
Autistic Youth
The Spits
Mean Jeans
I pretty much grab anything that comes out on Dirtnap because I know it's going to be pretty great.
