Blessed - "Redefine" | Post-Trash Premiere
With the band’s sophomore album, Circuitous, out October 28th via Flemish Eye (Preoccupations, The Besnard Lakes), they’ve once again made another stride forward, embracing hooks that snap into place, fitting unlikely pieces together in a way that’s easily digestible. The album’s second single “Redefine” is a perfect example.

Green/Blue - "Worry / Gimme Hell" | Post-Trash Premiere
Just in case you thought two albums had expended Green/Blue’s recorded output for the year, they return with “Worry / Gimme Hell,” a pair of singles originally recorded during the Paper Thin sessions. Due out digitally today via Feel It Records (with a 7” to follow), the songs strip back the band’s coiled burn for something decidedly more garage.

The Mall - "Nostalgia" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Mall have amassed themselves an ever growing cult following and it’s easy to see why as they combine punk and dance music in a way that subverts industrial, opting for their own alien hybrid.

Macula Dog - "Neosporin" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Cradle - "I Love That Music" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Cradle’s upcoming album, Radio Wars, due out 9/23 via NNA Tapes, mixes together a blend of experimental indie, Gamelan influences, and a hefty dose of studio sheen pop. Cathcart’s ability to mix it all together into one vision is beyond impressive, mixing contrasting ideas in a way that feels natural to their exploration.
Courtesy - "Walk The Dog" | Post-Trash Premiere
Courtey’s blend of styles is constantly transfixing, void of any pitfalls that often arise when trying to do too many things at once. With the band heading out on tour, they’re celebrating the upcoming dates with "Preferences" and "Walk The Dog," two new singles recorded during the Check The Milk sessions.
Covert Stations - "I Melt With You" (Modern English cover) | Post-Trash Premiere

Salt Lick - "The Gift of Missing" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
Simply put, Salt Lick is a die-hard group of musicians within the Seattle DIY scene. Over the past half decade, the band has been sizzling and simmering a handful of slow-burn releases. Salt Lick never fails to impress live and have certainly elevated their songwriting and studio chops with their most recent release, The Gift of Missing.
Kinsella & Pulse - "Replicant Heart" Music Video | Post-Trash Premiere
“Replicant Heart” is the second track on the EP, a beautifully dark and brooding song, eerie and contemplative at times, but also full of life. Pulse and Kinsella trade vocals, hers clear and prescient and his slightly fuzzed out and distant. The song has a narrative structure of its own, mirroring the five act dramatic structure of the rest of the EP.
Freak Genes - "Strange Charm" | Post-Trash Premiere
Never slowing down, their fifth album, Hologram, is on its way, due out August 19th via Feel It Records (Why Bother?, CLASS, Green/Blue), picking up where last year’s Power Station left off. The band’s nervous and taught brand of synth punk is definitely heavy on the punk and post-punk side of that description, keeping a terse edge and hypnotic din.
Throwaway - "DINOSAUR." Music Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Following 2019’s full length debut, Throwaway return with Hand That Takes, out now via FPE Records (The Miami Dolphins, Yea Big, Kamyar Arsani). It’s an album that’s bizarre but bizarrely focused, highlighted through the many jumps and skips in overall tonality, pulling at straws to keep it interesting on their way down into the depths.
Nine of Swords - "Beyond The Swords" Visual Album | Post-Trash Premiere
Philadelphia's Nine of Swords put out one of the year's best punk records with BEYOND THE SWORDS.

Mol Sullivan - "Deep End Dive" | Post-Trash Premiere
"Deep End Dive" is the first single from the Cincinnati based singer-songwriter, with a charismatic summertime video as well. This single is a precursor to her upcoming debut full length Goose, produced by Sima Cunningham. She sounds resigned, but there is a dark thrill in her voice, she's quietly excited for what's coming next.
Snakeskin - "Spinning Heart" | Post-Trash Premiere
Snakeskin is set to return with a new full length, Summoning Salt, and while details are hazy, the lead single “Spinning Heart” and its accompanying video are immaculate. From the ominous start to the lush acoustics and slow grooving rhythm, Snakeskin sets up a sweeping landscape of natural tones, tangled, and accented in atmosphere.
Big Big Bison - "Bruiser" | Post-Trash Premiere
Seven years after the release of Geronimo!’s final EP, the trio of Ben Grigg, Kelly Johnson, and Matt Schwerin have come together once again, with a new project, Big Big Bison.
