The band’s debut EP, What?, clocks in at a lean six minutes and five tracks, an economical approach to noise punk that shines in its brevity. Divorce Cop, comprised of Brock Ginther (Royal Blood), Chris Gervais (Toothbrush), and Anthony Bitetti (Great Western Plain), each bring a little something of their own to the ramshackle recordings,
The band’s new full-length record, Holy Roller, reveals a more relaxed and reflective side. They’re still channeling the Stones, but this time around it’s much more like the country blues of the band’s late-60s era. While they stay true to their rebellious rock roots, they’ve tempered with a tinge of wistfulness — as if their living room guitars drank too much wine.
It’s been six sweaty years of fuzzy bliss for Brooklyn’s The Mad Doctors but it would appear all good things must come to end.

This is an EP you can skate to. This is an EP you can bake and get baked to.

Model Zero are a new band from Memphis with plenty of familiar faces, comprised of members of Ex-Cult, Aquarian Blood, and The Sheiks. Set to released their self-titled debut album on May 31st via Slovenly Records and Black Gladiator, the band play a dark and creepy blend of post-punk, no wave, and garage punk that feels at home in Memphis but could just as easily be made on another planet altogether.
The relentless creative output of Brooklyn’s Water From Your Eyes and This Is Lorelei is something to treasure, an endless source of inspiration from the minds of Nate Amos and Rachel Brown. While the musicians have both been busy between these bands, Thanks For Coming, and beyond, a new split single has emerged.
Their self-titled tape exudes a casual opulence and a touch of carelessness, washing over you with a tropical VR breeze. They mix the wacky vocals of The Garden with the laid-back vibes of Little Joy, scooping up enough dance grooves to make you want to shake your booty, all from the comfort of your Lay-Z-Boy.
Give praise. All The Saints have returned! This isn’t some weird religious turn for Post-Trash, but a genuine honor to welcome back the elusive Atlanta trio with the announcement of their third album, Look Like You’re Going Somewhere, due out next month via Chunklet Industries (Harvey Milk, Dasher, The Gotobeds).
