Within 10 seconds of “Upset Army,” the opening track from Love Letters in the Age of Steam, you know you are well in the domain of Andrew Falkous (Falco). The loud, screeching wail of the guitars, the chord changes that make one uneasy though they can’t say why, and the distorted snarling snark sneered into the microphone are all sign posts that you’re in the hands of the Future of the Left frontman.
Here at Post-Trash, we appreciate a good reissue. Sure, the argument can often be made that it's a cash grab and well... sometimes it is. On the other hand however, a reissue offers a chance to re-celebrate beloved records, the rare opportunity for a community to once again share praise for the records that helped shape their music tastes. Well, that and a chance for everyone to get an old favorite on vinyl. This fall/winter is ripe with reissued chestnuts to be excited about. Here's some of our most anticipated
Gun Outfit’s new album, Dream All Over, is now available to stream in full via The FADER ahead of its October 16th release on Paradise of Bachelors. The songs on Dream All Over invoke imagistic memories and unfold like dreams unremembered upon waking.
One of the things that’s so special about Yautja’s new EP Songs of Lament, released on
Forcefield Records, is that it captures the presence and volume of their live shows so well. The
quality and clarity of production on this album has been built upon from their last full-length Songs of Descent which was dripping with brutality as it was.
Stove, the latest band from Stove Van Borden aka Steve Hartlett, is getting ready to release Is Stupider, the project's full length debut on November 20th via Exploding In Sound Records. After the premiere of "Jock Dreams" (which features a guest appearance from Two Inch Astronaut's Sam Rosenberg), the band are now sharing "Wet Food," the upcoming album's second single.
Gunk is a 3-piece dirt-rock trio out of Philly whose first release in 2013 Gradual Shove would have been enough for them to make their mark, but they’ve somehow managed to swiftly outdo themselves with their recent self-titled release. Gunk, a densely packed fourteen track whirlwind, displays the band’s impressive ability to seamlessly transition in and out of different textures
Early this past summer, Sacramento based noise-punk band So Stressed released their latest album “The Unlawful Trade of Greco-Roman Art”. It’s a hard-hitting, fast-paced album with guitar and vocal hooks that would make even the squarest of squares mosh uncontrollably in their bedroom. I talked with them about their influences, latest release, and more.
East London trio Shopping are a band that clearly love the post-punk of the late 70’s and early 80’s. However, rather than simply repackaging the past, their second album Why Choose makes the case that there is still plenty of fresh ideas left in that sound and that maybe it’s a genre just as relevant and needed today.
This fall, Dischord will release the Real Lessons in Cynicism, the second full-length record by Washington, DC's Soccer Team. It arrives 9 years after the band's debut, “Volunteered” Civility and Professionalism.
Kowloon Walled City will release their long-awaited new full-length this Autumn. Grievances, their third album and first for Neurot Recordings, finds the San Francisco band at its artistic peak, having moved even further away from its sludgy, post-hardcore origins and toward a more sparse, more melancholic detuned heaviness.
