Premieres

"Fog" is the upcoming record's second single, a tightly wound song that stutters brilliantly off course and back again, jerking around with a fluidity reminiscent of Pinback on a power-pop bender.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
