Kansas City's Cody Critcheloe and his band of camped-up crazies come together to form SSION, an electronic/grunge/punk music project from hell. Merging the '80s synthpop style of Marc Almond, Yaz, and Nina Hagen with an attitude decidedly brattier, SSION is sort of like riot grrl with laptops and drum machines, only gayer. Many of the songs on this year's Fools Gold LP are worth your iTunes dollar. In "Street Jizz", an ode to late night cruising for the ages, Cody laments, "Gee whiz / street jizz / it feels more dirty than it really is / Late at night, in the park / we're gonna shoot white light all through the dark." Rumored to be working on a full-length album covering Hole's Live Through This (more commonly referred to around Sword HQ as "the holy bible"), SSION recently leaked this preview to the web, covering Hole's cover of the Young Marble Giants. Well, it looks like we've got everything covered, so you can cover your bases after the jump.
