BIG|BRAVE didn’t set out to be one of the world’s most riveting experimental metal bands, but you wouldn’t know it by listening to them. Each release has absolutely radiated discomfort.

The time to catch up on the unabridged Post-Trash “Year In Review” has come, with releases big and small - albums that went under the radar, the hidden gems, and the essential records from the past twelve months, even a few “buzz” bands and beyond. This is our comprehensive guide to our favorite releases of the year without a pre-determined length.
“The Post-Trash 60” is a guide to some (60) of our favorite releases so far with a diverse range of rock music’s many sub-genres and hip-hop, from extreme metal to lo-fi bedroom pop and all that falls between. We’ve got “buzz bands” worth the buzz, self-released hidden-gems, all the weird international post-punk and noise rock you could ever want, and of course all the artistic punk influenced indie we know and love.
