LATEST REVIEWS N' STUFF:
Selling A Vibe by The Cribs
After a five-year hiatus that felt like an eternity for indie-rock purists, the Jarman brothers have returned with ‘Selling A Vibe‘, an album that proves they still possess the magical ability to make 2026 feel like 2005. Recorded in Brooklyn, this ninth studio effort manages to be surprisingly thoughtful without losing that “three guys in a […]
Still Life by Future Teens
Boston’s Future Teens have returned with ‘Still Life’, and it’s basically the musical equivalent of finding out your favorite thrift store shirt finally fits again. Released on Take This To Heart Records, this album proves that while the “bummer pop” pioneers Daniel Radin and Amy Hoffman are staring down their thirties, they still know how to […]
Something Worth Waiting For by Friko
If their 2024 debut was a panicked, beautiful sprint through a burning building, ‘Something Worth Waiting For’ is Friko finally stopping to appreciate the architecture while the fire department handles the rest. Niko Kapetan and Bailey Minzenberger have traded a bit of that “brink of a nervous breakdown” energy for something grander, weirder, and, dare I say, […]
Loveletter to Hardcore by Shaved Ape
The Pittsburgh Pirates can kiss my entire ass. Other than that, Pittsburgh’s Shaved Ape has a new LP out called ‘Loveletter to Hardcore‘ on Sorry State Records, which is less like a traditional musical composition and more like a high-speed collision between a freight train and a box of distortion pedals. It is an exercise […]
National Anthem by The Sleeveens
The Sleeveens have officially dropped a high-voltage heart-starter with ‘National Anthem’, an album so relentlessly catchy it should probably come with a warning label for your footwear. Leading the charge is the incomparable Stefan Murphy, a man who has spent years honing his craft in outfits like The Subtonics and the cult-favorite The Mighty Stef. […]
Dust by Accessory
If you’ve been feeling like a tiny human scurrying through a city of boring music, Chicago’s own ACCESSORY has arrived to stomp through your speakers. Their debut album, Dust, out now on ACX Records, is a colossal achievement where the celestial meets the molecular, feeling as massive as a Titan emerging from the depths. Much like how bingeing “Monarch: Legacy […]
Sans Adieu by Pilori
If your morning coffee isn’t doing the trick, ‘Sans Adieu‘ is essentially a double shot of pure adrenaline, served in a spiked chalice. Pilori has managed to create a record that feels like a group hug in a mosh pit—intense, slightly sweaty, but oddly life-affirming. It’s the kind of blackened crust that doesn’t just play in the […]
Inuit Legend by Beatrice Deer
If you need a sonic companion for deep existential pondering or just a really epic walk through a blizzard, Beatrice Deer’s new album ‘Inuit Legend‘ is your new best friend. This record is a masterclass in “Inuindie,” where Deer takes traditional throat singing and ancestral folklore and wraps them in a cozy, electric blanket of guitar-driven indie […]
Keyframe by Palette Knife
Palette Knife’s ‘Keyframe‘ is a caffeinated blast of Midwest emo that refuses to sit still, blending dizzying guitar taps with the kind of frantic energy usually reserved for a toddler who just discovered sugar. It’s polished, punchy, and unashamedly extremely online, making it the perfect soundtrack for anyone whose personality is 40% nostalgia and 60% existential […]
Hotwire Trip Switch by Prince Daddy & the Hyena
If their self-titled album was a three-act existential crisis in a dark basement, ‘Hotwire Trip Switch‘ is the moment Prince Daddy & The Hyena finally kicked the door down and realized it’s a beautiful, albeit chaotic, day outside. It feels like Kory Gregory and the gang found a stash of “borrowed electricity” and decided to use it […]
