Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr are back with their seventh studio album Hotel Usona, further expanding the sound they've developed over the years, rooted in their Detroit post-punk background. At its core, the record seems to be asking how much reality you can take before you start wanting to bend it.

Unsane Frontman Chris Spencer on Finding Peace of Mind | Feature Interview

Unsane Frontman Chris Spencer on Finding Peace of Mind | Feature Interview

Chris Spencer (Unsane, Human Impact) recently spoke with Post-Trash contributor Kurt Orzeck about life on the road, the strange attraction of noise rock, remastering the Unsane catalog, and the many pitfalls that lurked around every corner for a loud band in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

Claire Cronin - "Before the End of Time" | Post-Trash Premiere

Claire Cronin - "Before the End of Time" | Post-Trash Premiere

The Bruise is said to be inspired by doom metal and avant-garde drone, and while they might play into Cronin’s languid structures, they do not play into the sound. Emotionally heavy and weary of our world, her music is soft, gentle, and built around unflinching vocals and acoustic textures.

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra's first EP came out on La Vida Es Un Mus back in 2020, and Is It Really Living? is only the proper follow-up — five songs, eight minutes, no filler and no room for any. This isn't a band chasing momentum. It's a band that waited until it had something worth saying, then said it as fast as possible.

Wesley & The Boys - "Euro Tour Tape '26" | Post-Trash Premiere

Wesley & The Boys - "Euro Tour Tape '26" | Post-Trash Premiere

Wesley & The Boys have a lot of energy. Their energy translates into explosive live performances, as heard on their Euro Tour Tape ‘26, a new live album out today via Swimming Faith Records. Released to coincide with the band’s upcoming European tour, its pure garage rock adrenaline filtered through the sweat stained world of basement punk.

Dummy Share New Singles "April Limousine / Alluvial Fan" + Album Influences | Post-Trash Premiere

Dummy’s third full length album, Do You Love The Color Of The Sky?, goes further down the rabbit hole, adapting the “baggy” sound of Free Energy into something more outré, leaning into the band’s electronic impulses imbued with both textural drones and sun-soaked pop.

Dinosaur Jr. - "There Near" | Album Review

Dinosaur Jr. - "There Near" | Album Review

The usual descriptions applied to Dinosaur Jr.’s music like scuzzy, ear bleeding, and feedback drenched seem overused to the point of cliché. These aspects are all present on There Near, but they are not what make this album distinctive. Instead, there is an open exuberance that contrasts with their canonical recordings.

Deady - "Systematic Slaughter" | Post-Trash Premiere

Deady - "Systematic Slaughter" | Post-Trash Premiere

After three years of singles and EPs, Deady are set to release their first full length, HUNKA JUNK, digitally this Friday via Romanus Records. The Louisville based quintet’s album was worth the wait, a record that really shows a wide dynamic range, peeling between layers of anthemic punk anthems, frayed post-hardcore, and combustible noise pop.
