The Drin - "Today My Friend You Drunk The Venom" | Album Review
It’d be very hard to build a case against this excellent record—out now on the increasingly indispensable Feel It Records—as anything but an exemplar in its field, an inspired melding of brooding post-punk, expansive kosmische and jangly psychedelia bound to leave a legion of decent-to-good imitations in its wake.
Delivery - "Forever Giving Handshakes" | Album Review
Melbourne’s Delivery evolve their sound and vibe with debut album Forever Giving Handshakes. Channeling wiry post-punk as much as psyched-out garage and hooky power-pop, Handshakes rides a wavering line between tightly-wound momentum and raucous partying, the result a collection of nervy, shout-along earworms.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Delivery - "Forever Giving Handshakes"
On the heels of two solid 7” releases, Melbourne five-piece Delivery evolve their sound and vibe with debut album Forever Giving Handshakes. Channeling wiry post-punk as much as psyched-out garage and hooky power-pop, Handshakes rides a wavering line between tightly-wound momentum and raucous partying.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Jobber - "Hell In A Cell"
Across four tracks, Jobber set thoughtful lyrics to smartly-written pop songs with massive guitars, a potent combination that pulls as much from the locked-in power pop of The Cars and the catchy alt-rock of Helium and The Breeders as their more obvious guitar-worshipping predecessors in Helmet, Hum, and Failure.
Jobber - "Hell In A Cell" | Album Review
Brooklyn band Jobber’s love for wrestling coming through in their name, artwork, song titles, and lyrics. On their debut EP Hell in a Cell, Jobber adopt wrestling’s insider language to explore workplace discontent and the struggle to be a good person in a shitty world. It’s a gimmick, sure, but it works.
Tropical Fuck Storm - "Moonburn" | Album Review
While “Moonburn” and “Aspirin - Slight Return” would make for a stellar 7-inch, two additional cover songs really make this cassette an essential listen. Clocking in around fifteen minutes, Moonburn still captures the expansive vibes of earlier TFS albums like Braindrops and Deep States—records for a long drive down a lysergic highway.
