Last month, Nashville label Jeffery Drag unveiled “Big City,” a scorching thrasher from Music City post-punks Western Medication. Now the label has put together a rough ‘n’ ready winter mixtape containing demos and unreleased material from Jack White-approved garage-punk Pujol, likeminded Jay Reatard torch-carriers Useless Eaters, Western Medication, and a whole bunch more. Listen below, and start buying cheap beer for a chaotic holiday party in someone’s basement. — Spin.com

More About The Mix:
Jeffery Drag Records has compiled the best tracks from their upcoming releases, exclusive B-sides, and the best of 2012. Starting off with “Mama Said” which is an unreleased demo by Bad Cop, leading into a sneak peak from Useless Eaters’ upcoming JDR release Hypertension, due out February 12.
“Nasty Nuevo” is from Ghost Dance’s forthcoming Self Titled debut LP out on February 26, though the band is already back in the studio with Lincoln Parish of Cage The Elephant producing a follow up 7″. Lincoln Parish is also responsible for Talk Box Rodeo (his side project when he’s not in Cage The Elephant), on which he plays everything. “F*** Cancer” can be found on Stoned Eagle due in Spring of 2013.
Western Medication serve up moody post punk glory with “The Painted World” from the same titled 7″ due out in January 29. Western Medication features two members of Bad Cop and long-time Nashville punk Justin Landis. Out of Chicago, Magic Milk bring you “Coconut Dreams” from their ‘tour’ cassette released in winter of 2012. Expect another release from them on JDR by summer of 2013.
Pujol’s original demo of “Psychic Pain” appears courtesy of Saddle Creek, and Majestico’s “Boom Boom” is available now on the “Love is God” 7″ on JDR. Finaly Natural Child’s “Bodyswitchters Part II” is also available now on JDR via the “Mother Nature’s Daughter” 7″.
