Premiere: Watch One Hundred Percent’s video for b-side “Rainy Day Radio”
Photo by Sarah Fruy San Francisco's One Hundred Percent released their debut full-length All Teeth and Nails back in November, and now the band is back with a new video for album b-side "Rainy Day Radio", which premieres today exclusively here on The Bay Bridged. "'Rainy Day Radio' didn't make it on the album because when we sat down to sequence it, we had more songs than would fit on a single 12" vinyl record," bassist Ryan Christo told me recently over email. "When we came up with a good sequence, there were a couple that just didn't fit. 'Rainy [...]

San Francisco's One Hundred Percent is set to release their debut full-length All Teeth and Nails via 20 Sided Records on November 5, and the trio has a new video for "Devil In Me". The video, which "employs a straightforward and raw approach" with a three-way split screen capturing a live, in-studio performance of the track, greatly compliments the song's '90s O.G. indie rock-influenced sound.

Video Premiere: One Hundred Percent hangs out at home in "Lowbar"
Every few years -- actually, probably even more frequently than that -- there seems to be a narrative arc about the return of "real 90s indie rock," despite no evidence that the fuzzed-out sounds of GVB, Dinosaur Jr. and the like ever went anywhere in the first place. In the spirit of jumping on that flimsy bandwagon, let's proclaim here that, once again, noisy, DIY rock and roll has returned with One Hundred Percent. The video for "Lowbar" offers footage of the band members playing board games and just generally hanging out -- most of which appears, perhaps through trickery, [...]
Editors' Picks: What We've Been Listening to This Week (School of Night, One Hundred Percent, & more)
Darby Cicci of School of Night Nicole: This week I've been listening to the freshly released "Fire Escape" by School of Night, the side project of The Antlers' producer/multi-instrumentalist Darby Cicci. This is second track from the upcoming EP to be released on October 15 via Minus Green -- the first track "Lying" was premiered on Stereogum last month. Cicci is responsible for the very stoner-dreamy producing quality of the Antlers; similarly his side project is synth-heavy with trailing vocal loops and an overall tone that is downright sensual. Jason: One Hundred Percent has a new [...]
