USA Nails - "Creative Industries" | Post-Trash Premiere
Second single “Creative Industries” is a dizzying blast of stampeding rhythms, that glorious noise rock bass tone, and swarming guitars that threaten to swallow everything whole. Everything rattles together in an unholy union, building a wall of impenetrable immersion, the unhinged eye of the storm.
Urochromes - "Rumshpringa" | Post-Trash Premiere
Set to release Trope House, their full length debut on May 31st via Wharf Cat Records, the band are using the extended running time to dig deeper and stretch further than every before into territories both strange and dare I say… accessible. If variety is the spice of life, than Trope House is one spicy album.
Editrix - "Talk To Me" | Album Review
When one door slams shut, another creaks ominously open. Such is the case with Easthampton’s Editrix, New England guitarist Wendy Eisenberg’s post-Birthing Hips continuation of spellbinding guitar and tongue-in-cheek take-downs. The four tracks on debut Talk To Me serve as a thrilling introduction to this special new band.
Fluung - "Satellite Weather" | Album Review
Their first full-length album Satellite Weather came out at the start of this year and pays homage to many legendary acts of decades past. Fluung is invested in exploring new ideas to further push their sound and have remained motivated by pivotal indie rock bands that became famous for emphasizing the power of the jam.
Birthday Ass + Toothbrush - "Live Split" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Thick - "Thick" | Album Review
Brooklyn punk band THICK are the sonic equivalent of a jubilant rocket hurtling through space, and they want to bring everyone along for the ride. Their energy has always been part of their effortless cool, and the amount of fun they are able to translate from the stage to the recording booth is something all bands aspire to do.
Petrol Darling - "Ô Reine" | Post-Trash Premiere
The duo will release Ô Reine on May 24th on a super limited run of 30 lathe cut 7” records and we’re excited to premiere the single’s a-side. Sala wrote the haunting track about her childhood friend who committed suicide at a young age and while her lyrics are sung entirely in French, the atmosphere and tonality paint the picture.
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (April 15th - April 21st)
The Cradle - "The Glare of Success" | Album Review
The Cradle decided to go home again on his new album, The Glare of Success, but he’s not interested in rediscovering some missing creative magic. No – he’s not here to move back in – he’s here to deconstruct the house, strip it of its parts, and create an entirely new home from its component pieces.
Distants - "White Flags" | Post-Trash Premiere
Thanks For Coming - "Part I: You're Welcome" | Post-Trash Premiere
Renata Zeiguer - "Faraway Business" | Album Review
Real Blood - "This Is Gonna Hurt" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
Crag Mask - "Stainer" | Post-Trash Premiere
Peel Dream Magazine - "Modern Meta Physic" | Album Review
Part of the appeal of the retro-aesthetics on Modern Meta Physic is that they’re employed as a tool but not as a crutch. It’s not an attempted ‘revival’ of a genre, it’s not a ‘throwback’ sound, it’s just a well-informed, self-aware album, full of well-written songs, and very specific reference-points.
Soft Blue Shimmer - "Chamoy" | Post-Trash Premiere
While the quartet may be far from their label’s home base in Boston, their dream-pop sound and radiantly fuzzy introspection fits right in with newfound East Coast family. The band’s press release draws comparisons to Alvvays and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and neither of those are too far of the mark.
