Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere “Lowballer,” from Somerville-based band Otis Shanty. “Lowballer” hides its dissolution behind its sound, but to Otis Shanty, it’s about “selling dreams in a buyer’s market.”
Earlier this year Nape Neck released a self-titled collection, pairing together both their first full length and the Look Alive EP. It’s a wonderful place to start for anyone looking for a good rattling, and thankfully, they’re back for more with new album The Shallowest End, due out on September 19th.
RNIE is Lamont Brown, a Philly-based artist and music maker. His sophomore LP FULL NEPTUNE is inspired by all things late night Y2K — PS2, Toonami, and a healthy dose of breakbeat. Today, Post-Trash is excited to premiere the video for “20K,” which Brown directed himself.
Time Thief is the new project from Zoe Wyner (halfsour) and James Walsh (Dump Him) out of Providence, RI and we are proud to premiere the video for their latest single “A Brief History of Ordinary Let Downs” off their upcoming self titled debut EP
Understanding’s Shmutz-directed video for “Flesh is Word” captures the Toronto four-piece in reflections, on a jungle gym, and along the shore. It’s an easy, breezy, keys-forward number, and the lead single from the band’s forthcoming debut the joy of living.
Post Trash is excited to premiere a new cut from Allston based “Farm Emo” band Tiberius. The project is back with their second single “Felt” from their upcoming album Troubadour, a thrilling cross section of emo=gaze and alt-country.
“Spectres” is the record’s fouth single, a song aimed for spooky season, at least in terms of how we wrestle with the events of our past and the trauma that can linger. Street Eaters dig into their post-hardcore influences, pushing and pulling in all directions like a ghost with sifting through a colander.
Nottingham’s No Peeling spent Christmas Eve recording S/T, their upcoming Feel It Records debut. Christmas came early, because S/T is the gift that keeps giving. Today, Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere the lead single, “Can I Pet That Dog?”
The record expands upon the project’s industrial experimentation, lurking deep in atmospheric dread and jarring no wave, everything given its own space to settle. There’s a refined patience to the album. Sure, it’s still noisy, avant-garde, and penetrating, but it does all that with an emphasis on nuance.
Besta Quadrada’s first full length is a self-described “bratty hardcore” record, jam packed with caustic rippers and bouncy rhythms. Much like Rotary Club or Judy And The Jerks, the band tear through each buzzing song with a surge of personality, the songwriting equal parts rippling anxiety, sass, and sarcasm.
Portsmouth’s Dog Lips hardly believe in down-time. Since 2022, they’ve been ripping up the East Coast DIY circuit, reveling in their signature balance of mayhem and cool. Today Post-Trash is thrilled to premiere “Gush,” the incredibly catchy first helping of Danger Forward.
Calendar Year is a psychedelic folk album that reflects on the dour times with beauty amid the difficulty. Jessica Risker and her band expand their atmospheric qualities, dropping further into cosmic acoustics and Broadcast influenced textural warmth with a gentle strength in each of the songs.
Guck’s latest single, “GUBAR,” oozes and pulses, the repetition of the chord progression pounding away like a sledgehammer to pavement. While the riff is locked into a psych tinged dread, it gives room for both the drums and vocals to explore, embracing the opportunity with their own ruthless charms.
With its wide scope, Milked’s new album Forgotten Pleasures demands to be heard in full, and while little can prepare you for certain tracks, they’re sharing the record’s first single, “Slow Pyre,” one of the album’s sonically unique moments - an art pop odyssey with shack shaking programmed beats.
Two years after the release of Derealization, Julia, Julia returns with Sugaring A Strawberry, due out on September 9th via Suicide Squeeze Records and Happy Sundays Records. The album is gorgeous and dreamy, surrealist and psychedelic, an auditory plume of haze on a hot summer day.
Dummy is known to genre hop, with ambient tracks like “Ethereal Security Guard” that experiment with the form and fabric of a melody. “Oceanographer” falls into this camp, built from a freely picked guitar and textured with the air of crashing waves running through a tinny amp.
In celebration of their latest release, The Infinites are sharing an incredible new video for “Jen’s Antiques,” directed by our favorite stop-motion video director extraordinaire, Taylor Browne (see videos for Variety, Nolan Potter, and Queen Serene).
Deady are gearing up for the release of their full length debut, 2 Dead 2 Furious, due out in September. The band are on tour now, and there’s “Bad As It Sounds,” a brand new single from the upcoming album.
Three years out from “Raining Punches,” Moon By Moon feels like a different band. “Dogs” is the Philly-based duo expanded, their sound waxing before our ears, slipping out the door and into the night.
Rat Porridge’s noise is poetry. Today, we’re thrilled to premiere the Cherry Nin-directed video for “nvr stills,” track two off Rat Porridge’s archival mixtape I Love the Earth, which finds Rat Porridge waking in the woods, following the tracks, and finding the rhythm in the noise.
