On The Assembly Line: A Glimpse Into The Making Of Scaphe's "Factory Gleam" | Feature Interview

Scaphe's founders talk about their new album and their decision to truly trash the mold and create a self-serving masterpiece above all else. As the saying goes, "in order to lead an orchestra, you must first turn your back to the crowd."

Dusk - "Old Magnolia" | Post-Trash Premiere

"Old Magnolia" and its eye-catching video, take the idea of Dusk's transportive powers and runs with it, bringing you as deep into the country mindset as possible. Traveling from red barns to monster trucks, bolo ties to bald eagles, this one plays up their surroundings with gorgeous images and the band's slow-dripped twang.

Soft Kill - "Savior" | Album Review

May 30, 2018

by: Jonathan Bannister

Reviews

The musical spectrum that Soft Kill works in, for it to work well it needs to be dramatic. It has to feel like it means something. That the words and music exact a toll in blood, sweat and tears and other cliches. Their new album Savior is all of this.

Temporary Eyesore - "Temporary Eyesore" EP | Post-Trash Premiere

Temporary Eyesore, the eponymous new record from Zoe Wyner (halfsour), is another entry into the Anxiety Pop Records canon of spry, essential rock records. A brief 13 minutes of existential riffing, the album is a diaristic trip with specific emotions religiously and cathartically displayed.

Scrunchies - "Stunner" LP | Post-Trash Premiere

Built on a framework of agitated riot grrrl combustion and shout-along anthems, their songs are set in attack mode, breaking down any walls and barriers placed before them.

Ex-Vöid - "Ex-Vöid" | Album Review

May 29, 2018

by: Huw Baines

Reviews

Ex-Vöid very much exist in the Joanna Gruesome wheelhouse but McArdle and Williams have pared back some of that band’s volatility while upping the straight ahead melodicism. The guitars are heavy on jangle and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them phrases, which often only get a single time to shine.

Greg Electric - "Greg Electric" EP | Post-Trash Premiere

The band, which features current and former members of Nine of Swords, Ted Nguyent, and Loose Tooth, released their self-titled debut EP today, a furiously skronky beast of hardcore yelps and tangled chord progressions.

Clearance - "Had A Fantastic" | Post-Trash Premiere

At its core, “Had A Fantastic” sees Mike Bellis leading the band through the kind of song that’s seemingly built for humid summer days, as the oppressive heat gives way to a relief that’s both earned and fleeting.

Lithics - "Mating Surfaces" | Album Review

Mating Surfaces is a record that is filled with tension and walks on the border of full on breakdown that it never really succumbs to until it’s fitting ending. For a record that plays on jittery soundscapes and emotions it can be a quite intense listening experience.

Wimps - "Giant Brain" | Post-Trash Premiere

Their latest video "Giant Brain" is one part 80's corporate culture, one part slacker punk, and well... a whole lot of parts enjoyment. Get warped into the screen in director Marcy Stone-Francois' homage to Max Headroom.

Jo Passed - "Their Prime" | Album Review

The Canadian band’s music is all about roughing up the edges of songs that would otherwise be outwardly pop. Jo Hirabayashi’s melodies, and there are plenty of them, are delivered in a restrained, almost somnambulant manner that makes the listener work for their sugar rush.

Wyoming - "Why Oh Wyoming" | Album Review

This young group has an eye for interesting tempos and a handle on time signatures that fill this shorter release with a depth of capable songs. As if the release was made of shredded textiles, patch-worked into a comfortable blanket - clean in some parts, and stained in others, but nonetheless, a whole.

Mr. Husband - "Living In Dreams" | Post-Trash Premiere

The scene is set innocently enough, the fellas meet for band practice and make plans to hang out afterwards to play a friendly game of darts... or friendly enough. Their dreamy indie pop takes gets literal as they find themselves "Living In Dreams".

The Sediment Club - "Stucco Thieves" | Album Review

On their latest, Sediment Club perfectly balance the jarring and the inviting. Psychosomatic vocal exercises scorch through conjoined drum and bass—the primary drivers under each track’s supplemental guitar meanderings.

The Circle of Punk: A Chat with Red Hare's Jason Farrell | Feature Interview

Ferrell speaks much as he sings -- at a considered but somewhat irregular rapid morse code-like pace. When accompanied by music, his voice is infused with a palpable sneer, somewhere between Kathleen Hanna and James Hetfield when he gets really sassy. In conversation though, he is earnest and focused.

Kerem Atalay - "Summer 1" | Post-Trash Premiere

Tranquility is king in Kerem Atalay's "American Primitive" guitar music. His songs are sparse and without accompaniment. It's finger picked guitar, and that's it, and it's pretty damn amazing.
