Pre Nup - "The Grudge" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

The music video for “The Grudge”, which premieres below, perfectly captures the experience of having a good time while knowing that something isn’t quite right. The song itself is pretty great too, a catchy jangle-pop number that would have fit in well on the legendary C86 cassette compilation.

Itasca - "Morning Flower" | Album Review

Morning Flower is largely instrumental; she sings on only two of the nine songs. Cohen has an extensive background in classical music, and is shines through on this tape.

Clearance - "At Your Leisure" | Album Review

They possess the ability to take what other bands do best and make it their own. It’s especially exciting on At Your Leisure, as the group’s influence becomes increasingly ambiguous.

Gash - "Haha" EP | Post-Trash Premiere

Premieres

Balancing attitude with bubbling distortion, sweeping washes of effected chord progressions, and piercing attack, it's shoegaze dragged through the mud and left crackling with the energy of an electrical storm.

Eternal Summers - "Famous Last Words" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

Every Day It Feels Like I'm Dying... is full of artful detours and hidden textural gems, a record that is undeniably immediate but even more enjoyable the further you dig in.

Amanda X - "Giant" | Album Review

August 6, 2018

by: Ilya Sitnikov

Reviews

Giant, the second LP from Philly trio Amanda X, comes off as the result of careful note-taking on 90s post-punk/alt-rock.

The record unravels like the sensation of room-invading sunlight burning out and being replaced by the twist of a lamp switch on. It’s like catching a glimpse of shadow on the wall and chuckling at how close your form’s been captured.

Obnox - "America In A Blender" | Post-Trash Premiere

"America In A Blender" is the first single and a mission statement, coming on like an alarm as the record spits and contorts into its deviant free-jazz destruction.

Nopes stretch their noise to its boundaries and even though there are moments you think you might be able to pinpoint as a grounding point, the band proves to be able to change course at the drop of a dime.

Leadrs - "Waste" | Post-Trash Premiere

August 1, 2018

by: dan goldin

Premieres

Lead single "Waste" finds Jimmie Atchley and co. in full on fuzzy shred mode, a low burning melody buried under a shimmering blast of overdriven guitar noise and raw atmosphere. It's loud and ragged, and damn if it doesn't feel pretty good.

The Rizzos & Top Nachos - "Split" 7" EP | Post-Trash Premiere

Across four songs they ricochet between ramshackle garage-rock and bug-eyed punk, sending razor-edged melodies hurtling into traffic. It’s a short, sharp, wild ride that feels like it could end in triumph or disaster at any second.

Death Grips - "Year of the Snitch" | Album Review

Despite the rumors, YOTS is able to meet, exceed, and break all of the skeins of hype fans swaddled the release in. It is everything a Death Grips fan would expect, which is music that dodges categorization and presupposition.

Bilge Rat - "Cupio" | Post-Trash Premiere

The trio have been playing a swampy blend of post-hardcore and abrasive dirge pop for a few years, but on their latest album they are expanding their palette into wider sonic terrain, experimenting with unknown structures and wonky phrasing

Pet Fox - "How To Quit" | Post-Trash Premiere

With Theo Hartlett on guitar and vocals, Morgan Luzzi on bass and keys, and Jesse Weiss on drums, the trio's self-titled full length debut is as sure as they come, a painstakingly nuanced mixture of AM radio gold and post-hardcore undertones (think Jawbox with a sunnier, more gentle disposition).

Blowdryer - "Blowdryer" | Album Review

July 26, 2018

by: Myles Dunhill

Reviews

Coming in at just twenty minutes, the tunes are saccharine and explosive, similar to 60s AM pop radio drenched in cacophonous static being echoed from a bedroom closet. The amps sound cheap, the instruments may or may not be tuned, the vocals are shrill, and honestly, what could be better?

There can be but one Railings, and one is a gift. Seventeen months later and (surprise!) the band is back with Sects With The Sheeple, a new EP that has the band expanding on old tricks and employing an ever majestic collection of new ones.
