Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (February 24th - March 2nd)
Ghoulies - "Shafted By The Algorithim" | Album Review
Prostitute - "Attempted Martyr" | Album Review
Prostitute rage, screech, and tear through track after track of industrial indebted noise rock with not just ferocity but also exasperation. Each hit of the drums and slash of the guitar sounds as if it’s the band's last. Even as the album ends, the band desperately ask the listener to see the horrors before them through the raw desperation bleeding out of each note they play.
Freckle - "Freckle" | Album Review
For Freckle—the new collaborative project between garage rock pioneer Ty Segall and Color Green guitarist Corey Madden—their self-titled debut is a means for experimentation while embracing their musical roots. Freckle is playful, coated with a lively texture of traditional rock melodies and bohemian percussion—a meeting place where both Segall’s recent instrumental endeavors and Madden’s breezy psych-folk are generously kissed by the Californian sun.

Hiver & Jason Koth - "Offers" | Album Review
Porridge Radio | Feature Interview
Over the past few years, Porridge Radio have become one of the most exciting bands, consistently putting out excellent records. They recently announced their break up and a new EP, The Machine Starts To Sing, which is out today. The EP acts as a continuation (or a sequel) to Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me and is undoubtedly just as fantastic.

Fuzzy Meadows: The Week's Best New Music (February 10th - February 16th)
Red Ribbon - "Red Ribbon" | Album Review
Red Ribbon is an extremely personal album that lacks reluctance with expressing the undertones of the complex feelings within dark romance, sex, and self liberation. Ambient keys, seductive vocals, and jazzy notes surround and compliment Emma’s sharp words expressing the permanence of her actions provoked by heartbreak and a slow escape from delirium.

Tell the Light Your Inner Desires: Inside the Making of Squid’s Surreal Masterpiece
Alpha Hopper - "Razor" | Post-Trash Premiere
While it might not have a “pop” immediacy, Alpha Hopper’s corrosive sound is still bright and accessible, poking at our spongy brains with a pointy stick and a mischievous smile. Let Heaven and Nature Sing II, their first album in nearly five years, is oddly mesmerizing, picking apart blistering riffs and pounding drums, constructing a rampant onslaught of boundless energy.
Bursting - "Bursting EP" | Album Review
The first thing you need to know about Chicago’s Bursting is that they are a supergroup. With members of Stress Positions, Thou, C.H.E.W., and Coliseum (among others), it’s safe to say Bursting, on paper, rip. The second thing you need to know about Bursting is you need to see them live, in real life, so quit reading this review.
