Trademark by Choncy
Hold onto your seatbelts, punk rock enthusiasts, because Cincinnati’s favorite remote-working musical agents are back. The post-punk quartet Choncy has given us an incredibly sharp, angular LP titled ‘Trademark‘. Seamlessly ping-ponging phone demos between Ohio and Brooklyn, this band has managed to bottle pure, unpredictable basement-show lightning. It is a wonderfully erratic shift that perfectly […]
Hum by Swim Deep
The Birmingham dream-weavers in Swim Deep have returned with their fifth studio album, ‘Hum‘, and it is a glorious ride from start to finish. After undergoing a surprise lineup change and apparently finding their new guitarist hauling beer kegs at a local pub, the band has bounced back with the kind of infectious energy usually […]
We Carry Heavy Blood by Force
Emerging from the formidable Milwaukee underground, Force has delivered an absolutely monumental sonic boom with their latest kick-ass full-length album, ‘We Carry Heavy Blood‘. Released in May 2026, this 10-track record brilliantly fuses the blistering speed of classic thrash with the raw, uncompromising grit of hardcore punk. Recorded by local icon Graham Hunt and expertly […]

This isn’t just your standard ambient wallpaper to zone out to while staring at your houseplants; it’s an absolute […]
Scroll If You Love Devil by Heather the Jerk
It feels like my brain is short-circuiting lately because I swear I had already written a review for this kick-ass record, but in speaking with my buddy at the bar this past weekend insisted I hadn’t yet… so here I am, finally giving this project the review it deserves. ‘Scroll If You Love Devil’ by […]
New Self by The Bobby Lees
A few years ago, a faithful listener of our podcast slid into our DMS and told me that I had to check out some of the previous releases from a ferocious garage-punk outfit they could not get enough of. Fast forward to today, and I am kicking myself for delaying on this new album, because […]
harbinger by We Are Only Human Once
If you have been feeling down, the indie-alternative powerhouse We Are Only Human Once has just delivered the perfect antidepressant with their spectacular June 2026 release, ‘harbinger‘. Hailing from Dublin, Ohio, project mastermind Adalyn Clarke channels a brilliant fusion of indie rock, alt-country, and shoegaze influences that makes this 11-track collection an absolute joy to […]

Cut A Silhouette by Sparta
With ‘Cut A Silhouette‘, the legendary post-hardcore outfit Sparta has returned, proving that some things truly do get bigger and better with age. Speaking of things getting bigger, this album dropped right around the same time I looked into my closet and realized a harsh, fabric-stretching truth: none of my shorts fit me anymore. In […]
