Squitch - "Rut" | Post-Trash Premiere
Fontaines D.C. - "Dogrel" | Album Review
Tunic - "Blessed" Video | Post-Trash Premiere
Priests - "The Seduction of Kansas" | Album Review
Greer's voice has a complex chromaticity that takes shape in an exceptional way, communicating exactly the sense of uneasiness and political and social instability at the heart of the title of the work. Priests is the missing and "screaming" link in a scene that also needs showy and strong bands, at least in their choices, to assert themselves.
Vacation - "Capitol Drive" | Post-Trash Premiere
Wasting no time at all the song casts out a hook driven by syncopated drums, bass, and rhythm guitar, alongside a warbling guitar lead. The distorted nature of the bass tone reveals itself on the upswing of the intro, which marches forward as vocals enter with a few sparsely punk nuances breaking up the guitar chords.
Glued - "Cool Evil" | Album Feature
Conditioner Disco Group - "(Don't Gotta) Raise A Family" | Post-Trash Premiere
Portland’s Conditioner Disco Group (once simply known as Conditioner) are back with an extended name and a long-awaited new self-titled album. Due out April 12th via Sweden’s Maternal Voice Records, the post-punk band continue to the elastic tight insistency of Suggested Use with caustic precision and animated yelps.
The Cradle - "The Glare of Success" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
The band’s upcoming album, The Glare of Success is a reimagining of Bag of Holding in a way, reworking ideas and pieces of the once melodic wonder into something mind-bending, warped, and unequivocally new. While their may be familiar aspects, this record its own monster, a disorienting drift into dub rhythms, divergent compositions, manipulated layers, and what the label calls “musical recycling.”
Stuck - "Three Songs" | Album Review
Boon - "All Of Us Laughing" | Album Review
Patio - "Essentials" | Album Review
Essentials is the first full length record from New York trio Patio and it follows the dark, brittle and fairly brilliant yet somewhat hesitant EP Luxury that was released in 2016. Patio tread in the ever-deep waters of post-punk and Northeast DIY scene and quite frankly stand out at near the top of that pack of bands which is quite an achievement.

Writer's Workshop: Wayne Kramer of the MC5 (and the MC50) | Feature Interview
Asked if he minded discussing some of the gory details of his career and his new autobiography, The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, the MC5, and My Life of Impossibilities, such as a long and tumultuous struggle with addiction, snafus with the law, and the ups and downs (mostly ups) of getting sober, Wayne Kramer laughed off the question as if it was absurd.
Beige Palace - "Leg" | Album Review
Their new album Leg is an irreverent kaleidoscope of noise rock, post-hardcore, musique concrete, spoken word, chamber music, and general auditory mayhem. The thing about this record is how its tone can change on the head of a dime, despite the songwriting heavily using repetition and slow development of ideas.
Blessed - "Salt" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
After a flurry of exceptional introductory releases comes Salt, the band’s meticulous full length debut, an album with enough jaw-dropping moments you might as well just leave your damn mouth open. Blending together fractured shards of garage punk, krautrock, post-hardcore, and experimental no-wave, Blessed’s sound is laser-beam focused and expanded further in every direction on their first attempt at album length exploration.
