Palehound - "Live at First Congregational Church" | Album Review
Illuminati Hotties - "Power" | Album Review
The Paranoyds - "I Like It Here" | Album Review
Shannon and the Clams - "The Moon Is In The Wrong Place" | Album Review
Shannon and the Clams pull from the past to create music that's different, the vintage twinge reminiscent of many 60s girl groups, and an almost rockabilly sound while still allowing it to feel fresh and new. It feels like stepping into the past, yet it still incredibly innovative, a time capsule and love letter to their classic rock influences.
Sleater-Kinney - "Little Rope" | Album Review
Little Rope, Sleater-Kinney's eleventh studio album, is bursting with energy, Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker using the record to deal with loss and grief and manage tragedy within their lives. The album is dynamic, aggressive, and most of all violently cathartic, ready to fight through whatever challenges may arise.
Wombo - "Slab EP" | Album Review
As an EP, Slab brings a lot to the table stylistically, weaving ethereal vocals with thunderous bass to create a sound that truly sets them apart from others within the genre. Wombo have an inate ability to create and maintain a creepy, ghost-like ambiance and energy that makes the EP stand out compared to some of their previous work.
Yard Act - "Where's My Utopia?" | Album Review
“Post-punk’s latest poster boys” ask Where’s My Utopia? on their newest album, a tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic, and groovy record. They create a very dynamic and lighthearted kind of sound, which shows how much they’ve grown since The Overlord. Listening to this album is immersive and feels transcendent, like entering a vivid dreamscape.
Sweeping Promises - "Good Living Is Coming For You" | Album Review
Sweeping Promises’ powerful piercing vocals, grungy guitar, and oddly hypnotizing synth lines combine with the post-punk atmosphere to make this band unforgettable, leaving the listener with a lasting impression. The album deals with depressing themes, different forms of distress, yet the duo’s sound remains bright .
