Great Wave - "Orange Juice" | Post-Trash Premiere
For the past few years, Scranton’s Great Wave have been crafting a unique style of psychedelic dream-pop, but it leans a bit more toward the experimental than the “pop” tag might suggest.

Austin’s Neckbolt are a new band that are making noise rock in their own way, deranged and slurred, loud and abrasive, but colorful and a bit psychedelic.

The tonality on “Traffic Jam” is 100% noise rock, heavy as a ton of bricks, and it’s clear that Black Beach aren’t messing around.
Matt Robidoux - "The Bouquet" | Post-Trash Premiere
His latest album, At Dust, is due out October 1st via Already Dead Tapes and Records, a fascinating album that layers glitchy electronics with dance grooves and a warped psychedelic flourish.
