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.
Our latest episode explodes the wide world of music festivals. With SXSW quickly approaching we talk about memories from other festivals, though oddly don’t talk about SXSW at all. There’s some good stories and chatter, plus even better new music from Big Business, Shady Bug, Parsnip, Buck Gooter, and Grim Streaker.
