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.
It'll scratch your itch for punk and power-pop from top to bottom, but when Personality Cult push outside genre boundaries on their second album, New Arrows, the results turn electric. Packed with driving beats, there's not a slow moment until the finale, and with nary a song longer than two minutes and thirty seconds.
February 14th will see the release of New Arrows, their sophomore album and first with Dirtnap Records. Produced by Marked Men/Radioactivity’s Jeff Burke, their first full band effort should have the punk underground swooning long past Valentine’s Day. The record is near flawless and easily repeatable.
