5rc

Oozing an oddness that's far less hit-or-miss than that of parent-label Kill Rock Stars, 5RC offers noisy, unrefined acts that skirt the edges of the avant-garde. From electro-mopers Xiu Xiu to the drum-heavy Hella and the always peculiar No-Neck Blues Band, 5RC expertly culls acts from both the outrageous and accessible ends of experimental rock. -Andrew Phillips
