Hassle Fest 9 Explores The Recent Past, Present, and Future of Boston DIY

When Sam Potrykus was 16 years old, he went on tour with his brother, hitting up over forty states across the country.

Wren Kitz - "Dancing on Soda Lake" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere + Interview

Dancing on Soda Lake, building off of the stylistic world he created with For Evelyn, is an initially approachable dream/soundscape that pays dividends in transcendent, previously hidden harmonies, newly perceptible bits of texture, and buried snippets of field recordings revealing more of themselves with each repeat play.

Even though you are a person on earth, or even potentially a ‘music fan,’ you may not have heard of Aaron Tullier. You may not be familiar with any of the gush of releases on his Defective Bat Records, which come out at regular intervals under a spate of monikers that tend to follow an adjective/animal formula, similar to the label name itself.

Alex Moskos Discusses Drainolith, "SEF III," Science Fiction & More | Feature Interview

As befits the man who has been both the guitarist of cut-up noise rock band AIDS Wolf and a soothing voice on McGill University’s CKUT, Alex Moskos’ output is as varied as his roving curiosity. 2015 saw both his lauded Drainolith LP Hysteria as well as an extremely limited LP of quieter piano musings - Military Terms. A talented and interesting person if there ever were one, Moskos is a joy to converse with, and it’s a delight to present this interview with him.
