Cold Feet - "Punk Entity" | Album Review
S. Rich - "Headfirst Bones" (feat. Candace Clement) | Post-Trash Premiere
For the past decade Samuel Rich (Miniboone, Bully Mammoth) has been playing varying styles of noisy rock from groovy post-punk to psychedelic noise rock. With his first solo album, he’s offering a change of pace and a wealth of atmosphere. Trading in his trusty bass for an organ, his solo debut Organ Versions, is due out April 21st.
Eliza Niemi - "R1" + "Flip" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Porches - "Ricky Music" | Album Review
Aaron Maine is never anything but himself in his music. Under the Porches moniker, he’s been releasing albums infused with all of the ecstasy and ache of being in and out of love. Ricky Music is no different, an at times erratic, fragmented and chaotic listen - heartbreak is always messy, though, so it shouldn’t sound any other way.
Curfews - "Stunted" | Post-Trash Premiere
The Marquette, Michigan based duo have their sophomore EP, Stunted, coming out on April 21st via Temporal Records. The record is an optimistic look at the love found in the familiar. After moving out West and grasping to find community, all it took was a return home to prove that sometimes home truly is where the heart is.
CLAMM - "Beseech Me" | Album Review
CLAMM was initially meant as a mere exercise to work on a heavier sound than their other outfits afforded. Such was the success of the experimentation, however, that we now have one of the strongest recent records to come from Melbourne in Beseech Me. It’s heavy, certainly, but underpinned by a steadfast thoughtfulness.
Sonny Falls - "Lives Unlived” b/w “Hidden Coyotes” | Post-Trash Premiere
Woolen Men - "Human To Human" | Album Review
Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (March 30th - April 12th)
King Pizza Records - "Best of BTR Vol. 1" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
It makes perfect sense that so many of the King Pizza Records’ bands have captured great sets on BreakThru Radio’s “BTR Live Studio” show. The label has compiled the best of those sessions for Best of BTR Vol. 1, a benefit designed to help their artists during these difficult financial times due to the pandemic.
Matt Robidoux - "Brief Candles" | Album Review
Boon - "Stoneburner" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
The band - Brendan Principato, Drew Sher, Jesse Paller - recently announced a new full length, Morning’s, due out May 15th via Super Wimpy Punch, the follow up to last year’s All Of Us Laughing. Record with The Cradle’s Paco Cathcart, the record’s first single “Stoneburner” is a woozy effort that comes alive in its own warped manner.
Pinocchio - "Pinocchio" | Album Review
With NYC’s powerful punk group Pinocchio, the mission seems to be providing an intentional chasm of disorder alongside its almost instantaneous withdrawal. Fuzzy guitars thrashing across booming kicks and tom hits yield to surprising seconds of silence; it is these contrasts that prove their meticulous and thoughtful musicianship.
Janelane - "14 Days"
“14 Days” oozes with the hazy aura of nostalgia, as it features the perfect kind of shimmery guitar tones and punchy rhythms that’ll naturally induce fond memories of warm summer nights. It’s a fickle kind of reminiscing, though, as while these sonic elements may trigger memories of happy times, the perspective is delivered from a place of heartache.
Scrunchies - "No Home Planet" | Post-Trash Premiere
The trio are set to release their sophomore album, Feral Coast, at some point in the coming future (these being as uncertain times as they come and all). While we wait, Scrunchies are sharing the record’s first single “No Home Planet” with a video, directed by William Hoben and featuring choreographer Taja Will.
Ringo Deathstarr - "Ringo Deathstarr" | Album Review
True to the nature of self-titled albums, Ringo Deathstarr condenses everything special about the shoegaze purveyors into one complete package, but it also feels like a self-conscious look back at where they’ve come since. It may not bear the visceral punch of their earlier material, but it feels more esoteric, more open to other influences.
Sorespot - "Gifts Of Consciousness" | Album Review
Blending subtle vocal melodies with droning guitar static, and upping the songwriting by creating wholly-complete though still intoxicatingly-short ballads, the band’s latest full-length LP Gifts of Consciousness displays Sorespot’s growth and illuminates the potential for the four-piece to become a mantel in the hallowed walls of indie rock.
SAVAK - "Vis-A-Vis" | Post-Trash Premiere
With dread and despair all around, “Vis-A-Vis,” the album’s opener takes a lighter approach and gives us the post-punk anthem we can all dance around our homes to. With a tightly coiled rhythm section and guitars that pay homage to Gang of Four’s early years, SAVAK have created a song bursting with subdued energy
Irma Vep - "Embarrassed Landscape" | Album Review
Now on his fourth album, Embarrassed Landscape, Edwin Stevens is using tension and release as his plaything on an LP that flits between murky angst and heart-wrenching sensitivity. The Welsh-born Glasgow-residing musician has taken the diverse range of ideas from his previous work and raised the bar for the lo-fi psych-rock genre.
