We're happy to present "Post-Trash's Staff Picks: The Best of 2022" as voted by the site’s wonderful contributors (including their individual lists). With 23 of our writers submitting their votes, we had 313 different records nominated (which means there weren’t many repeats) and only the top eight records received a score of sixty or higher.
We present our “Mid-Year Report," a comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the first half of this year, without any pre-determined length or insignificant rankings. If we’re into it, we're including it (unless we plumb forgot it or just haven’t spent enough time with it… which happens, in which case our sincerest of apologies).
Editrix Goes to Hell is such a compelling listen. There are always multiple things going on, sometimes the complete opposite of each other. Sometimes the album is sinister and other times it's sweet. It can be rough around the edges while still feeling completely polished. It never falters a single step, never wastes a single note.
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Mid-Year Report” has come, with releases big and small - albums that went under the radar, the hidden gems, and the essential records from the past six months. This is our semi-comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the year so far without a pre-determined length.
On their debut full-length Tell Me I’m Bad, Editrix shifts through permutations of metal and punk faster than you can throw subgenre descriptors at them. For a solid thirty minutes, the lean and loud Massachusetts trio twists and turns through mathy riffs and pummeling breakdowns, phasing in and out of pocket grooves.
The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has come, with releases big and small - albums that went under the radar, the hidden gems, and the essential records from the past twelve months, even a few “buzz” bands and beyond. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the year without a pre-determined length.
“The Post-Trash 60” is a guide to some (60) of our favorite releases so far with a diverse range of rock music’s many sub-genres and hip-hop, from extreme metal to lo-fi bedroom pop and all that falls between. We’ve got “buzz bands” worth the buzz, self-released hidden-gems, all the weird international post-punk and noise rock you could ever want, and of course all the artistic punk influenced indie we know and love.
When one door slams shut, another creaks ominously open. Such is the case with Easthampton’s Editrix, New England guitarist Wendy Eisenberg’s post-Birthing Hips continuation of spellbinding guitar and tongue-in-cheek take-downs. The four tracks on debut Talk To Me serve as a thrilling introduction to this special new band.
This week we’re just excited to share some new music. We’re always excited to share new music but this time the whole group got so excited we completely forgot about our topic. Hosts Nick Dooley and Dan Goldin were joined by Brooklyn’s bcc: as they got ready to record their debut album in the studio. There’s great music from Uranium Club, Beige Palace, Editrix, Sharkmuffin, Furbie, and David Nance, plus a special performance from bcc:
