Hellrazor - "Satan Smile" | Album Review

Satan Smile, the first full-album release by New Haven, CT skate-rock trio Hellrazor kicks in the door, with a record strongly deserving of its title. If the aim of this album was to mimic the effect of Satan smiling or just to make Satan himself smile, the band has succeeded.

Vagabon - "Infinite Worlds" | Album Review

Vagabon depicts the experience of alienation in this otherworldly light throughout Infinite Worlds. Whether its chronicling a trip to the mountains, a ride on a bus or her “cold apartment floor / where we thought we’d stay in love,” Infinite Worlds is sad in a way that life is fundamentally sad.

Priests - "Nothing Feels Natural" | Album Review

Given the bands history, the current cultural climate online, in the streets, and in the halls of power, it’s easy to want to tag Nothing Feels Natural as an overt statement about now. An album that saw all the signs and knew the road we were collectively heading down.

gobbinjr - "vom night" | Album Review

February 16, 2017

Reviews

vom night serves as an update of “twee” for the bedroom pop generation. Witmer’s songs prove that you can make music that is sweet without being saccharine, music that is both emotionally vulnerable and empowering.

Prissy Whip - "R.I.P. AF" | Album Review

Though playful, this isn’t an album that can be listened to leisurely. It doesn’t engage you so much as it seizes you and says, “I have something to say and you better fucking listen.” It’s not easy to swallow and most of the time feels like suffocating — and that’s what works.

Dimples - "Pit of Bones" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Whimpers is described as "twisted country" but Dimples' music is cerebral and cinematic, cosmically experimental, and utterly leisure.

Reviews

Japandroids - "Near to the Wild Heart of Life" | A Post-Trash Think Piece

We live in a post-Japandroids world because in their absence, we’ve also musically accepted substitutes. The real issue with the album is that the big bold statements and open songwriting that used to feel so earnest, just feel like something we’ve been sold a million times.

Wild Pink - "Broke On" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Wild Pink is a band that sounds like someone you know but you can’t remember who. A mash-up of all the things you love about all your favorite bands. They’re simply a rock band putting out cleverly titled rock songs about all the seemingly mundane things that rule most of our lives.

Christina Schneider - "Violence Etcetera" | Album Review

Her humorous songwriting and quirky instrumentals leap between genres, hitting folk and pop, going all the way to avant-garde and experimental, ensuring her record is anything but boring.

Spew - "Only The Worst" EP | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Spew's debut is unrelenting and thoroughly abrasive. Built on dizzying menace and jagged opposition, the duo's technical ability is unquestionably phenomenal but it's their destructive spirit that really shines in only the worst of ways.

Amy Klein - "Parallels" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

The video for Amy Klein’s “Parallels” utilizes shifting, prismatic, visualizer-esque, graphics to match the sonic angularity of the track, with the end result being a hauntingly rendered visual companion.

Halfsour - "Land of Discarded Ideas" | Post-Trash Exclusive Premiere

Excellent Boston rockers Halfsour are releasing Land of Discarded Ideas, an album that was previously released exclusively as a tour tape. This re-release, via Disposable America, is accompanied by an incredible album-length video (albeit, it’s an 11 minute album) in high bricolage style.
