Post-Trash's Best of 2017 | The Year In Review

It's time to catch up on the releases that went under the radar, the hidden gems, and the essential records from the underground. "The Year in Review" is a comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the year without a pre-determined length.

Video Duct - "Small Pets And Kitchenettes" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Video Duct - "Small Pets And Kitchenettes" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Small Pets And Kitchenettes' 10 tracks are not for the faint of heart. The album's abrasive demeanor and engagingly low fidelity recordings can range between spastic bursts of Devo indebted post-punk and unforgivingly dissonant noise to punk so filthy, you may just want to take a shower after listening.

Bleary Eyed - "Zach" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Bleary Eyed - "Zach" LP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Following the release of their latest EP, the band's original line-up set to work on finishing their debut, a record that's been about a year in the making. The band's lo-fi punk clamor and emotive vocals combine together to create something both immediate and ragged, with their brightest melodic moments peaking up just enough from the distorted sludge pop.

Doing their part to help, Loose Grip Records released Love Oakland: A Benefit for Those Affected by the Ghost Ship Fire with all funds being directed toward the Oakland Family Fund. It's been a year since the tragedy, but there's a continuing need to raise money.

Coffee - "Coffee Burst #1" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Coffee is a new collaboration between Julian Fader (Ava Luna) and Andy Molholt (Laser Background, Speedy Ortiz), a pairing that was probably inevitable between the long time friends. The band's double album debut, Big Hug/Ocean Fruit, is 26 tracks long, none of which breach the two minute mark. The ideas are quick and unfiltered, a rapid succession of fuzz pop creativity.

Wei Zhongle - "On Its Way" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Wei Zhongle - "On Its Way" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Their shape-shifting grooves continue to evolve and expand, forever pushing forward into their own unique landscape of psychedelic exploration and brain-stem dripped art pop. It's becoming increasingly hard to stand out when seemingly everyone is embracing their weirder side, but there's only one Wei Zhongle.

Palberta and No One And The Somebodies Discuss Origins, Songwriting, and Chips | Feature Interview

To celebrate Chips For Dinner's vinyl release, Palberta and No One And The Somebodies were kind enough to interview each other, asking the hard hitting questions you've always wanted to know about Palberta's royal origins, what kind of chip they would be, and the prospects of a NOATS family restaurant.
