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.
With their new offering The Cosmo Cleaners, the Club take a more surgical approach to their trademark antsiness, tying themselves into tighter and more intricate knots than ever before.

“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.

Bandcamp have offered to donate their profit share of every sale through their massive network of releases to the Transgender Law Center. It's a good cause and a good excuse to buy some new music. Many labels and artists will be donating their profits in addition to Bandcamp's share as well. So where to begin? Here's an abritrary guide.
