ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Pom Poko - "Champion"

Lifeguard on Hallogallo Zine: The Radical-Youth-Punk Chronicler | Feature Interview
Hallogallo is a cipher to Chicago’s teen-beat youth revolution. Within its pages, legends the likes of NEU!’s Michael Rother and Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier mingle with mutual aid placements and essays on leftist history. The zine is electric with serendipity, where Kai Slater’s artistic personal tastes and friendships merge with open submissions.
Winter - " ...And She's Still Listening" | Album Review
Winter claims the lyrics within ...and she's still listening are written from a perspective of a female character that she considers an “extension of her,” an exploratory writing process that could be seen as a unique tool to translate a continued healing journey from the subconscious. Winter leaves listeners to sink into honest emotion.

Zion), Mat Ball (Big|Brave), Jonathan Downs, and Patch One (both of Ada), the quartet’s collective oeuvre offers the project a sense of familiarity, but opts for open collaboration.

Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (August 5th - August 11th)
Radiator Hospital - "Watching A Fire" | Album Review
This record served as the fourth quarter follow-up, a little "something extra," to the band's latest album, Can't Make Any Promises, which was released in March of 2023. Watching a Fire has more of the band's trademark homespun warmth and lo-fi charm, where sweet pop rock tunes coexist with more solemn introspective moments.
Black Ends - "Bent" | Post-Trash Premiere
Black Ends have spent the past five years establishing themselves as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most exciting new bands. Known for both explosive live shows and their lovingly dubbed “gunk pop” sound, the trio have long been one to watch, and they’re about to up to ante with their long awaited full length debut, Psychotic Spew.
