Cory Hanson - "Western Cum" | Album Review
Slow Salvation - "Decay" | Post-Trash Premiere
Slow Salvation may appear a new band, but the project has deep roots in the shoegaze/dream pop world. The band’s songwriter/producer Travis Trevisan is the sole permanent member of shoegaze stalwarts Tape Deck Mountain, while singer Christina Hernandez has her own ethereal electro-pop project Orion Lake.
Big Girl - "Big Girl Vs. God" | Album Review
On their first full length album, Big Girl vs God, Big Girl front-person Kaitlin Pelkey delivers wonderful insight into their self and a sense of wonderment that shines even through the most haunting moments of self doubt and regret. Her cohorts in Big Girl bring a massive sense of pomp in the best way possible.

Today marks the triumphant return of Puppy Problems and the announcement of their second album, Winter In Fruitland.

Goo - "Squid Ink Sky" | Album Review
Squid Ink Sky is the second full length from the New York based Goo, a record that pushes their sound further than ever. Beck Zegans brings a unique, fresh, and open approach to songwriting that really shines. The album brings a melodic wallop, colored with sweeping and woozy keys which add a little more force.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Squitch - "Tumbledown Mountain"
Without giving consideration to the future or lack-there-of, it’s safe to say that Squitch have made their best record to date with Tumbledown Mountain, a collection of songs both personal and inherently complex. It’s an album that deals with the finality of things but as the band know, “it’s not the end.”
Krill "Lucky Leaves" | Album Review (10-Year Retrospective)
Califone - "Villagers" | Album Review
Califone essentially began as Rutili’s solo project derivative of his former band Red Red Meat and has positioned itself well within the experimental rock and folk scenes since, now a full-fledged musical project with regular contributors. Villagers is Califone’s most dignified and emotionally liberating project thus far.
Pardoner - "Peace Loving People" | Album Review
Pardoner have hit their stride. The SF quartet is known for guitar-driven tunes that straddle the line between pop-rock anthems and sludgy punk screed. Peace Loving People, their fourth LP, fully captures their singular sound built around the infectious interplay of the guitars and vocals of the main songwriters Max Freedland and Trey Flanigan.
It Thing - "P.C.H" | Post-Trash Premiere
Melbourne via Hobart quartet It Thing recently announced Constant State / P.C.H, the much anticipated follow-up to their excellent 2021 debut Syrup. Out now via Marthouse Records (AU) and Feel It Records (US), the band come burning out the gate with their signature chaotic energy, but more importantly, their sound is glued in massive hooks.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - "PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation" | Album Review
PetroDragonic Apocalypse sees the Aussie lads return to “thrash metal.” In a sense, nothing but the seeming violence of thrash will do the trick in stressing the importance of environmental awareness. In their new record, King Gizzard achieve this, with an even more brutal approach than their first full foray in Infest the Rats’ Nest.

Pardoner Discuss New Album "Peace Loving People" | Feature Interview
Ganser - "Nothing You Do Matters" | Album Review
On Nothing You Do Matters, Ganser split the difference between the immediate and an emotional distance to create some of their best tracks yet, ending up with a dancey, atmospheric take on post-punk. Composed primarily by Ganser’s rhythm section, the EP diverges stylistically from the more caustic material on their last LP.
