Vanishing DMC - "Doggin' A Pizza" | Post-Trash Premiere
Vanishing DMC recorded their self-titled album in 2016, a dirgy punk record that it splattered with idiosyncrasies unique to the band’s leader, the late Danny “Monster” Cruz. As a member of Flaming Dragons of Middle Earth, Cruz made sprawling performance art, but with DMC, it’s all deconstructed punk and raw basement cacophony.
Landowner - "Phantom Vibration" | Post-Trash Premiere + Feature Interview
The track addresses the haunting presence of a known abuser, one who has been exiled for the safety of a community. It questions the implications of excommunication, considering the danger said abusers may pose to the next community they find. We spoke with Landowner vocalist and songwriter Dan Shaw about Landowner, his architecture work and his personal life.
Tough Age - "Penny Current Suppression Ring" | Post-Trash Premiere
Tough Age are a post-punk band from Toronto and they are getting ready to release a new album, Which Way Am I?, on Mint Records.

Fast Preacher - "Figure It Out" | Post-Trash Premiere
When Dan Hanson is not co-fronting Chicago soul band Fat Night, he finds himself in the studio.

Caitlin Pasko - "To The Leaves" | Post-Trash Premiere

Split Fountain is the latest endeavor from songwriter Jordan Bleau (GLOSS, Frankie Teardrop, Cheap Fantasy), and features Rose von Muchow on bass/vocals and Fez Felzan on drums.

(Damn) This Desert Air - "Body Anchor (Back in Atlantis)" | Post-Trash Premiere
Veteran New Jersey post-hardcore outfit (Damn) This Desert Air return with “Body Anchor (Back in Atlantis)”. The video is a powerful accompaniment to a guttural song, both sonically and lyrically. The guitars are powerful and overwhelming right from the start, as a towering and melodic wall of sound quickly emerges.
Vintage Crop - "The North" | Post-Trash Premiere
Melbourne’s Vintage Crop are among the best of Australia’s brilliant punk bands, darting between their early garage punk days and a jagged post-punk artiness. Their lyrics often come with a sarcastic bite toward complacent life. Their third full length, the acerbic and raw Serve To Serve Again, is due out August 7th.
Nyxy Nyx - "Untamed Hair" | Post-Trash Premiere
It’s only July but Philadelphia’s Nyxy Nyx is getting ready to release their third album of the year. You know what they say about idle hands. All A Dream is due out September 4th via BLIGHT.

Frankie and the Witch Fingers - "Cavehead" | Post-Trash Premiere
Never ones to sit stagnant for too long however, the band are back today with a new single, Cavehead b/w Mind’s Eye, out via Greenway and Austin’s Reverberation Appreciation Society. While the single comes from an upcoming record, the frantic psych boogie is more than enough to whet appetites until then.
Es - "Severed" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Es’ new video “Severed,” is a quarantine video done right, full of kitchen, garden, and shower performances that are defiantly goofy but as deadpan as can be. That steely form of deadpan fits the band’s music, as their debut LP, Less of Everything absorbs synth punk at its most taut, everything snapped perfectly into place.
Grace Sings Sludge - "Christ Fucking Mocked" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Beat Index - "World of Want" | Post-Trash Premiere
