Aye Nako work because, even when they’re playing straight-ahead pop-punk, they push their sound to the limit. On Silver Haze, the band gets even more experimental without ever losing the plot.
As a band, Caddywhompus are particularly skilled in nuance; Odd Hours serves as a valiant, and ultimately successful effort. On Odd Hours, Caddywhompus fashion sound that is responsive and bigger than its prior body.
The trio will release 2015 - 2016, the band's full length debut on May 9th, a long overdue record of heartbreaking beauty and turbulent emotions. Their sound is loose and the lyrics are fragile, but Du Vide's music is taught with shifting dynamics and lo-fi bliss.
Bilge Rat is a strong and dynamic document of a band overflowing with ideas. It’s a strong first step forward for the power trio, who possess the kinetic energy and willingness to put their bold ideas into practice.

Created in the Image of Suffering is first and foremost a rock album and an album that invites you to get lost within its musical confines; to stop thinking, perhaps in order to release whatever demons have been shackled to your soul.
Sweet Baby Jesus put the soul back into Brooklyn's underground with songs that resonate upon a ramshackle jangle and a sure footed rock 'n' roll swagger.
With each release, Pile’s sound has twisted and turned this way or that, but always feeling like an arrival at something larger. On A Hairshirt of Purpose, Pile has culled from a palette of sounds and ideas that only they could have created.

Even though the songs on Below The House are more traditionally structured than his previous works, they are consuming in the same way. Slow, entrancing repetition paired with a complete emotional and sonic assault make this a powerful, unique record.
the song’s tension builds starting with heavy drums and a deep bass tone before a guitar solo erupts like Mount Vesuvius giving Spence permission to really let it rip with an impassioned vocal performance.
Bruised Fruit hits a good balance of reminiscing on Johnson’s older garage rock influenced sounds while also bringing a new lo-fi jangly feel to our ears.
The music video for “Breathing Thaw”- the closing track on Tim Woulfe’s latest EP The Thaw- was shot at Land’s End Park in San Francisco, taking advantage of the shore flooded with foam.
The quartet teamed up with local film collective, Good Day RVA, for a performance in Swannanoa Palace, a massive Italian Renaissance Villa built in 1912 in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The room... well, it ain't too shabby.
Sometimes you need to escape completely, into something the opposite of how you’re feeling; for that, you should turn to Six Organs of Admittance’s newest, Burning the Threshold.
