The Post-Trash Guide to SXSW 2019

October 18, 2018

Everyone’s favorite music clusterfuck, best known as SXSW is upon us… in about five months and the first announcement of officially selected bands has arrived. Despite the annual extravaganza’s shortcomings, we like to think that SXSW can be a great time with friends from around the world in the Texas sun if you do it right.

Bilge Rat - "Pal" | Album Review

October 18, 2018

by: Torrey Proto

Reviews

New Haven, Connecticut-based trio Bilge Rat’s second full length Pal finds the band continuing to scrape away at the bottom of the barrel to reveal murky and desolate places. Now a three piece, Bilge Rat sound dangerously locked in with a sharpened focus.

Dressage - "Star Scar" | Post-Trash Premiere

Sometimes dreams do come true as Dressage has paired together with ex-Birthing Hips vocalist, the one and only, Carrie Furniss. The record scrapes and contorts, taking new shape with each fractured movement.

Guerilla Toss - "Twisted Crystal" | Album Review

Guerilla Toss’ Twisted Crystal picks up where last year’s GT Ultra left off, mining the sounds of new wave and psychedelia while staying true to their noisy roots.

Once again teaming up with Forged Artifacts, the Brooklyn via Portland bedroom pop auteur will release Happy Bday on October 19th, a fuzzy dose of clever pop songs and slacker “college rock” charm.

Slothrust - "The Pact" | Album Review

October 16, 2018

By: Allison Kridle

Reviews

The album is a serious kicker as it contains jostling melodies, lyrical webs, and delightful fuzz. The majority of Slothrust’s songs start with offering you a small bite, and once you figure out you want to taste all the flavors, you wait around for a couple of seconds and fill up on the whole meal.

Mr. Husband - "1991 Bible Study" | Post-Trash Premiere

Ocean Pines is reflective and personal, a lo-fi recording with soft acoustics and gentle songwriting. It’s a hard left turn, but Mr. Husband has never sounded better. Stark and peeled back to the simplest of states, Tompkins’ songs work incredibly well as minimalist folk.

Gatwood - "Gatworld Vol. 1" | Album Review

Gatworld Vol. 1 is the fuzzy, cozy, and brief solo anthology of Two Inch Astronaut’s Matt Gatwood. If I hadn’t been informed of the project’s single authorship prior to listening, I would take Gatwood to be a tight-knit 5-piece.

Milked - "Crawling Passed" | Album Review

Crawling Passed is the second Milked full length from former Geronimo! front man Kelly Johnson with help from former bandmates over the 30 minutes of this release. Johnson stretches out here musically with crunching garage punk to delicate acoustic hazy numbers in equal measure.

Lifestyles - "Wail" | Post-Trash Premiere

“Wail” does more than the name implies though, it rips and shreds too. Right from the first pummeling blast of ragged power-chord propulsion, the band build up a dense and impenetrable stampede, eardrums be damned.

Ribbonhead - "I Must Have Peace, And This Is The Only Way" | Album Review

To the surprise (and delight) of fans, Ribbonhead sneakily released an EP this week. Engineered and mixed by Dylan Piskula of fellow heavyweight noisemakers DEN, the album was tracked live, and manages to convey the brute force vitality that fans have come to expect.

Kinski - "Guest Girl Vocalist" Video | Post-Trash Premiere

The rhythm section plays tight and unflinching, the ever dependable support system, while the twin guitars sprawl and squirm, working together to blanket their sound with layered distortion and a cavalcade of spacey riffs and blistering punk.
