While the Ithaca based post-hardcore band might have spent five years between their previous two albums, the reinvigoration sparked by 2024’s Thirds continues to roar like an avalanche on Earthquake Lights, an album is awash in surging guitar riffs, extra thick melodies, and drums that beat our senses to a pulp.
“Dropped Down The Well” has become a staple of MEMORIALS’ live show, and it’s easy to see why. Built on a ripping rhythm with gorgeously insistent bass and a spring-loaded drum beat, the song is buzzing with propulsive energy and a wildly engaging sense of melody that has become synonymous with Verity Susman’s songwriting.
Occasionally Wretched Blessing’s path leads to unexpected covers, as the pair followed up their debut EP with a set of Deftones covers. They’re back with another cover and this one feels a bit more left field, taking on Calvin Harris and Disciple’s mega pop hit "How Deep Is Your Love”.
Montreal art-punk quintet La Sécurité are back and they’ve never sounded better than they do on “Bingo,” a song built on imaginative spontaneity. The song is rippling with serrated mutant disco exuberance that takes inspiration from the mundane and quickly pulls the rug out.
“stars implode” opens with sustained synths, keys, and a gluey rhythm highlighted by gobbinjr’s bass progression. Just as you’re sinking into the song, things shift around, elements dropping out as others arise, the entire framework remaining in tact but the details fade and reappear in new shapes.
Nearly three years after the release of their exceptional debut EP, the band are set to return with Graceful, their first full length. Due out on May 15th via the team of Perennial and K Records, the album is a brilliant display of up-beat exuberance, power-pop resonance, and towering hooks.

Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere the lead single “Yellow” from The Big Them’s upcoming album Four Colours.
Cleveland punks Suitor carry the post-punk torch of Rock n’ Roll City, USA. Today, Suitor announce Saw You Out With the Weeds, their Feel It Records debut. Post-Trash is excited to be premiering the record’s stunning lead single “Factory.”
Anna Altman are back with “Figure 8,” a song that’s long been a staple of their live sets. Built on an incredible drum pattern from Christian Billard, the song unfurls from a gorgeous arpeggiated progression into full blown metamorphosis as it orbits between bent indie rock and crisp pop ease.
Night Moth’s new single and upcoming record is exactly what you think might happen when you put members of Clifford and Squitch together, and we’re psyched to premiere “Rumination Song” today at Post-Trash.
Dreyer enter a world that’s bright and twangy on lead single “Three Sisters Garden,” a song that’s bristling with immediate charm and loose melodic jangle. It’s part alt-country and part power-pop with a touch of Modest Mouse itchiness, but there’s an undeniable splendor to it all.
Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere “I Watch You,” a brand-spankin’ new Izzy True cut recorded LIVE in Rhode Island by Bradford Krieger at Big Nice Studio. The song is about AI, and especially apropos as we witness the slop fill and distort the cracks in the fabric of our reality.
Psych-jazz legend Shintaro Sakamoto announced his perfectly titled Yoo-hoo back in November, sharing “Dear Grandpa” and “Is There A Place For You There?” in its wake.

Sarah Everton (Telepathic, Blowdryer) expands Added Dimension’s world while still residing in the realm of lo-fi tape recordings, leaning into brighter hooks and harmonies, a garage punk record that plays it loose while also paying attention to the finer details.
Across A Violet Pasture returns us directly back to Greg Jamie’s signature folk depth, a sound both of the natural world yet softly surreal. There’s a drift and a psychedelic fog to it all, but it’s focused and clear, with attention to textural detail and atmospheric resonance.
Caution is equal parts Nora Button and Cash Langdon. The duo’s punk potpourri includes elements of scuzzy electronics, pop songwriting, and hazy shoegaze. Today we’re thrilled to premiere the riff-heavy lead single from Caution’s upcoming record Peripheral Vision.
