Mint Field - "Una flor sin interior" | Post-Trash Premiere
Hot off the heels of their breakthrough full length Aprender a Ser, the buzzing Mexico City duo Mint Field have hit us with a “pero espera, hay más.” Aprender a Ser Extended is a mini-LP composed of songs from the band’s initial Aprender sessions that were intentionally set aside to assist with listener digestion.
hemlock - “Drive & Drive b/w Hyde Park” | Post-Trash Premiere
“Drive & Drive” and “Hyde Park,” the lead double single to hemlock’s upcoming record 444, are the first full band re-recordings of choice cuts from hemlock’s song-a-day-a-month series. If there was ever a time to tune into the project, it would be this very instant, because hemlock in full band mode is most certainly the real deal.
Bad Cough - "Good Cough, Bad Cough" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Comprised of Maia Mara (Halfsour), Adam Berkowitz (Kal Marks, Ex-Breathers), Travis Hagan (Halfsour, Pleaser), and Jenna Lemieux, the band are no strangers to the more nuanced side of indie rock, which makes Bad Cough’s debut all the more delightful. The band present an unhinged kind of ramshackle fuzz punk, heavy but undeniably fun.
Leche - "Ernest Kills His Landlord" | Post-Trash Premiere
Nate Terepka - "Silence" | Post-Trash Premiere
Nate Terepka (formerly of Zula) has been developing his own take on avant-garde pop for over a decade.

Tension Pets - "On The Outside" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Chicago’s Tension Pets were made for these times, their sound a whirlwind of warped technicolor punk and hyperactive noise pop. The band arrived delightfully weird yet locked in on Cubey, earning an apt comparison to Brainiac or potentially The Rentals (after a prolonged acid trip), their debut a particular kind of synth friend brilliance.
Interlay - "Medic" | Post-Trash Premiere
Chicago-based band, Interlay, has shared a new single today called “Medic,” offering the first sneak peak into their forthcoming EP, Hunting Jacket. With a guitar riff originally written a handful of years ago by Alexandria Ortgiesen, the song has since been fleshed out over the years, finding life within the band’s newest line up.
Marcel Wave - "Peg" | Post-Trash Premiere
Marcel Wave understand the need for balance, a task that Maike Hale-Jones excels at. Their sound jitters beneath a deft combination of her sardonic and poetic spoken vocals and sweeping melodies that feel enormous by comparison. Featuring members of Sauna Youth and Cold Pumas, there’s a seasoned dexterity to their debut.
The Deals - "Tootsie Pop" | Post-Trash Premiere
Pons - "Can't Stand It" (James Brown cover) | Post-Trash Premiere
Pons keep their reckless spirit alive with "Can’t Stand It,” a berserk cover of the James Brown song as you’ve never heard it before. Out today via Dedstrange Records (APTBS, Goblin Daycare, Wah Together), the band trade in the godfather of soul’s traditional funky sound for something a bit freakier, a bit noisier, a bit more deranged.
Bleary Eyed - "Shimmer Away" | Post-Trash Premiere
On their new single "Shimmer Away," Philly’s Bleary Eyed make brain fog sound inviting. Those familiar with the band's previous work will immediately recognize their trademark distorted blend of synths and a burst of busy drum machine beats, setting the stage for blissful hooks and hazy vocal harmonies to emerge from the muck.
Workers Comp - "Pressure Today" | Post-Trash Premiere
The brilliant Workers Comp, a band that splits the differences between lo-fi punk, Americana, and folk in it’s rawest distillation, are set to release their upcoming self-titled album, out May 31st via ever/never records, collecting all of their EPs and singles, highlighting both the humanity and labor driven dissatisfaction that lies in their hearts.
Aaberg - "Mouth" | Post-Trash Premiere
For Hunter Mockett, who makes hypnotic, closely held music as Aaberg, his first months in Philly offered a dichotomy: a chaotic city and a cozy domicile. On “Mouth,” the first single from Wishing Well (out August 2nd via Forged Artifacts), Mockett’s near-whisper vocals betray the sense of gratitude and perseverance.
Sunshy - "Poison" | Post-Trash Premiere
Sunshy’s “Poison” is yet another blast of focused, hooky noise pop from the Chicago group, the final single off their upcoming album I don’t care what comes next, due out this summer via MakeOutMusic Records. Sunshy has quickly made a name for themselves by combining heavy guitars with pop influenced grooves.s
Las Nubes - "Pesada" | Post-Trash Premiere
After sharing “Endrados," "Drop-In," and “Would Be,” Las Nubes return with the veritable wrecking ball of “Pesada”. Fuzzy low-end and bright melodies recall both hometown heroes Torche as well as Tweak Bird, as Ale Campos and Emile Milgrim dig deep into the stoned core with a riff equal parts doom-soaked yet melodically syrupy.
Murf - "Nice Try" | Post-Trash Premiere
Minneapolis’ Murf provide an all out assault on the senses, their brand of hardcore tinged noise rock is splattered with gore and unsettling fury. Celebrating ten years together as a band, the quintet are set to release Already Dead on May 28th via Learning Curve Records, a howling and vicious record prone to dense thuds and swarming atonality.
Sofia Bolt - " Vendredi Minuit" | Track-By-Track Feature
Sofia Bolt returns with her second full length, the gorgeous Vendredi Minuit. Out today via Born Losers Records, the Parisian born, Los Angeles based songwriter adds a multitude of depth to her oeuvre, blending together dreamy pop, orchestral psych, and soft lit yé-yé grooves. Bolt wrote in to give us the inside scoop on each of the songs.
