Heather The Jerk - "Hello" | Post-Trash Premiere

Heather The Jerk tears from one massive hook to the next, shredding on guitar, bass, and drums while her vocals rattle around sweetly inside your head. It’s got all the charisma of power-pop with all the reckless disdain of punk, leaving a trail of smiles in the process.

Ultra Lights - "Pleasure's All Yours" | Album Review

Slurry, drawly, and riddled with intentional flubs, Ultra Lights are a throwback in the sense that they’re impossibly endearing, which was far more common in the world of indie-rock in the late ’90s, after self-loathing had run its course; and in the early ‘00s, before irony murdered joy.

Psychic Flowers - "Go Man Go" | Post-Trash Premiere

Columbarium Niches, the latest from Pennsylvania’s Psychic Flowers, is an ambitious record. Weighing in with no less than twenty songs, it’s the first release from David Settle’s (The Fragiles, Big Heet) lo-fi power-pop project in five years and it would seem he’s got a lot on his mind.

Alienator - "Brutal Occupation" | Album Review

Music critics tend to want to ascribe some type of evolutionary process to every artist’s catalog. That simply isn’t the case with Alienator’s Brutal Occupation which basically sounds the same as their music did when they formed. It’s even more important to recognize that ain’t a bad thing.

Dari Bay - "Surprise Wish" | Album Review

With Dari Bay, Zack James works his dreamy indie-pop into a melange of “classic rock” melodies, experimentation, and the sweet cool of bands like Alex G and Trace Mountains. Handling most everything on the record himself gives the project a sense of true freedom.

Fast forward to 2026 and that album, Downed, is set for release next week. We’re reintroduced with “Centerfold,” a propulsive ripper of tension and anxiety.

Smirk - "Speculative Fiction" | Album Review

It’s no surprise that Nick Vicario has flipped the switch again. The sonic territories exhumed on Speculative Fiction feed a guitar-rock lover’s appetite, hitting the palate of late ‘70s and early ‘80s garage punk, post-punk, power pop, even traces of indie pop.
