Divorce Cop - "What?" EP | Post-Trash Premiere
The band’s debut EP, What?, clocks in at a lean six minutes and five tracks, an economical approach to noise punk that shines in its brevity. Divorce Cop, comprised of Brock Ginther (Royal Blood), Chris Gervais (Toothbrush), and Anthony Bitetti (Great Western Plain), each bring a little something of their own to the ramshackle recordings,

Acquaintances - "8 1/2 Lives" | Album Review
A sort-of supergroup, Acquaintances boasts members who have played with The Ponys, The Poison Arrows, Don Caballero, Ted Leo + the Pharmacists, Titus Andronicus, and Thumbnail. The band’s latest album sounds like a group of lifers jamming in a room. They know that they’re now the older guys in the crowd, but they can still write spiny, intelligent, driving rock ‘n’ roll.

J. Robbins Discusses New Album "Un-becoming" and Changes In Songwriting | Feature Interview
Un-becoming arrives on the heels of J. Robbins’ old band Jawbox’s reunion and was recorded in the cracks of work, family obligations, and between rounds of video game sessions with his son.

So Totally - "In The Shape Of..." | Album Review
On the whole, in the shape of... doesn’t latch directly onto any single genre. So Totally comically tagged “fuck a genre” on the album’s Bandcamp page. They’ve drawn influence from a wide range of subgenres and experiment with creating massive walls-of-sound, incorporating field recorded clips, and blurring contrasted audio qualities together.

Flesh Panthers - "Holy Roller" LP | Post-Trash Premiere
The band’s new full-length record, Holy Roller, reveals a more relaxed and reflective side. They’re still channeling the Stones, but this time around it’s much more like the country blues of the band’s late-60s era. While they stay true to their rebellious rock roots, they’ve tempered with a tinge of wistfulness — as if their living room guitars drank too much wine.
The Mad Doctors - "Truancy Man" | Post-Trash Premiere
It’s been six sweaty years of fuzzy bliss for Brooklyn’s The Mad Doctors but it would appear all good things must come to end. The trio are calling it quits and we mourn the pending loss of a unique presence in Brooklyn’s punk circles, one that always remained a beacon for DIY, void of posturing and pretension.
