  • SlothcoreSam You need to check Anita velveeta other 2 releases this year.One is like a dance party on speed, sampling all your greatest 90s hits. There other is noisy emo.
    December 18 07:56 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, it's like a noisier Sleaford Mods, not bad.Check the new album I'm digging, it's some arty emo.
    November 25 10:46 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Nope I'll check it now
    November 25 10:41 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You need to get pumped. Check Mudhead - Create and destroy
    November 14 01:21 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Sweet, I'll jump on it. You might like the new one by WIMS - CANT LOSE, very raw, but has some excellent messy emo punk.
    October 15 05:52 PM
  • SlothcoreSam There are lots of good albums out this week. Thank You, I'm Sorry - Growing in Strange Places, has some great lyrics again. Equipment- Alt. Account, have delivered some tasty pop punk, and Luca Brasi- They Don't Owe You Anything, have put out another classic Aussie Emo record. the '68 Album is excellent as is the new Graveyard album
    September 29 04:11 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Glad you like it, don't forget the Sincere Engineer album too, I've just got both on repeat at the moment
    September 28 03:12 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Also you will love this, Back from Nothing - Perception of a Silhouette.
    September 23 07:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Get on the new Sincere Engineer ASAP,!
    September 23 01:48 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I was just about to write to you to check the new Proper. Middle Management is an instant classic
    September 10 10:25 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Ok, thanks for the info, I thought they were older songs.
    August 8 04:19 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Mccafferty album out, but not sure if it's new? No information anywhere. It's streaming in Australia
    August 6 11:22 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Check out the group Home Counties for a sound pretty close to Houseplants-era Squid. "Back to the 70s", "Modern Yuppies", "White Shirt / Clean Shirt", and "Dad Bod" all great. The EPs are worth a full listen!
    August 3 11:15 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got one for ya. Skating Polly - Chaos County Line. It's female fronted Indie punk. Super puppy vocals, but fun musically
    June 24 03:24 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Hey, long time no... see(?). What're your thoughts on the new Squid album? They've definitely moved deeper into their experimental territory overall, and less of that dance-punk feel I fell in love with from "Houseplants" and "The Cleaner". I'm conflicted overall! Maybe it's a grower.
    June 13 02:08 AM
  • SlothcoreSam If you need some new melodic hardcore to get you pumped. Check the new one by COOKED - The Hanged Man
    May 5 03:25 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, I got my new list up, definitely a few there you will love. Start with Life In Vacuum.
    April 25 04:43 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, I'm tempted to bump it. The dude from Get Dead had the best voice, and it really works with the others. The gothy synth Punk 2nd last song is from outta nowhere.
    March 31 08:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got another crazy one for you. Codefendants - Crime Wave. It is Get Dead, rappers, and other guests.
    March 28 12:28 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You want some strange 5th wave emo, with great female vocals. Anita Velveeta- Western Amphibian
    March 26 02:20 AM
  • SlothcoreSam K, I'll check it out when I'm at home, just browsed through it then on my phone, and the dude can sure sing.
    March 18 11:42 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got a new one for ya. Basketball Divorce Court - Rebound, it's punky riot grrrl.
    March 18 11:01 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo first rec of the new year, try Laughing Matter- let's not and say we did. There will be a few tracks on here for you. It's got McCafferty vibes. Also if you want to keep up with me this year, check my weekly lists.
    January 17 09:55 PM
  • Sunnyvale Thanks man! Yeah, it's got a ton of info
    November 22 10:38 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You listened to the new McCafferty yet? Most songs were released before hand. Sounds like a demo album, good lyrics and song structures, but needs more.
    November 3 05:33 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Volcano is maybe the 4th best thing on here. I listened to their newer album when it came out, but did nothing special for me. This self titled one, it's perfect
    November 2 07:07 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Kills Birds debut album is so good. You will enjoy it
    November 2 05:53 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New melodic Punk album out tomorrow by Rest Easy - Hope You're Okay. It has some great stuff on it.
    October 27 04:29 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, jump on this, https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200857
    September 26 06:16 PM
  • SlothcoreSam **** yeah, this is great, Broken Eyes stands out as a massive highlight. Has an early 90s late 80s indie noise rock kinda vibe.
    September 25 10:48 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah I remember reading about this band earlier in the year, but the album must have slipped me by
    September 25 10:22 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Ok, I'll check it out in a sec and get back to you.
    September 25 10:20 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah it is something else, i just put a review up for it, I'm not the best at them, but thought it needed more attention. Amita Drive is my fav so far.
    August 24 01:56 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The new nouns, is some crazy emo s***, you will love.
    August 19 05:03 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You want crazy something like glass beach. Check the new album by Australian band Bigger Boot- A Fork or My Fingers
    August 16 11:36 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Flatliners also came out, pretty good, but less punky than their earlier stuff. Yeah Sweet Pill has some crackers on it, I still have it on rotation.
    August 10 02:06 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, not much the last few weeks, but a couple of gems. Pool Kids will be right up your alley
    July 22 05:59 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You got the new Pool Kids on your radar for tomorrow? It's great!
    July 22 01:35 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Actually, check Breakup Haircuts, it's like female Joyce Manor crossed with McCafferty.
    July 18 11:05 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You might like Sniffany and the Nits. More English feminist punk
    July 14 05:30 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Guess you gotta look it up yourself: "Hollywood Antivax Rally" (vid posted on Oct 18 2021) on the YouTube channel Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan
    July 12 12:47 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Check this video around the 5:30 mark for where the inspiration for "Creepy Crawlers" came from. Really makes you shake your head.
    July 12 12:44 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Hey it's been a while. I saw your rating for the new Viagra Boys; it's pretty great. Keeps growing on me too.
    July 11 05:01 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The New Bobby Lees EP, is so goooooooood!!
    July 5 12:42 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Check the new Petrol Girls album, ASAP. Very relevant considering recent events in the states.
    June 25 04:59 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah that Grumpster was great, thought you might like that one. Last couple of weeks have been slow, but this week has been solid.
    June 17 06:16 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, you might like the new album by SACK. it's perry teenage Bottlerocket
    June 17 05:22 AM
  • SlothcoreSam No I hadn't heard that one.Just put it on then and it's great. Got an early 80s post punk feel
    May 23 02:32 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Was gonna say, check the new Cliffdiver! But you already have, it's an amazing debut.
    May 7 12:01 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I also think you will like Combat - Text Me when You Get Back, it's a cross between McCafferty and Joyce Manor.
    April 27 09:33 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You checked the new Overo yet? I saw you liked their last one
    April 27 09:00 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You gonna dig this Italian skate punk band. 7years- Missing Empathy, just don't pay too much attention to the lyrics.
    April 26 08:21 PM
  • SlothcoreSam lol, don't listen to Bowling for Soup's new one.
    April 22 07:13 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You might like the new Captain Asshole album, aggressive pop punk
    April 22 05:31 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Prince Daddy
    April 14 03:49 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, it's a proper. good album, that is so different from their other stuff. It's all over the place but in a good way. You should also check the new Peregrine album, it's fantastic too.
    March 25 03:36 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got some fast melodic hardcore for you. Dissidente- the war on two fronts
    February 21 09:27 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You should check the new Bug Heaven, it's some tasty Midwest emo. Also there is a fun, pisstake punk band called Fredo Disco, the album is called Punk Rock Ponzi scheme!!! It's actually really good, I just need to add it to the database.
    February 13 06:07 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah it had some good tracks, but sounded like it was recorded in his bedroom, the production wasn't the best, and you're right it was a bit too soft.
    February 1 05:31 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got one for you to check, the debut EP by RECLAWED, Don't @ me, it's some killer female fronted pop punk
    January 17 10:18 PM
  • Uzumaki Glad you like the Tuns album!
    January 11 04:47 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts The album Marquee Moon has been sitting on my to-listen list for so long, hah. Can't remember what randomly got me to bump it up, but so glad I did. I can see that becoming a 5.0 for me at some point.
    January 3 01:56 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The first few tracks are great, then it maybe falls a little flat, I'll have to actively listen to the latter half. I had it on whilst I was painting, then played again after a few beers.
    January 2 09:40 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Check the new album by Freshman Biology - Only Thing I want To Keep. It's 5th wave emo with cool Jazzy parts. The female vocals are so good, the males is ok, great album to start the year.
    January 1 07:38 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey WIE, got my top 100 up, might be some stuff there i forgot to rec you. But 75% of it is what i added to the database, woops. lol. WHat was your number 1 this year?
    December 31 06:40 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I'll be honest, I missed it, but listening now, and like what I am hearing. WIll report back once the album is done.
    November 20 04:24 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Oh yeah I'd listened to a couple of his albums previously (I think Sowing's review last year got him on my radar). I liked this a good bit more than those as well.
    September 28 07:01 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Foxwarren's got some great moments. Lags a bit through the middle for me, but really solid opening and closings few tracks. Really dig his singing style. Thanks
    September 28 01:15 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, yeah it's a good album. Also the new album by Rough Dreams is great, just bumped it to a 4 after another listen.
    September 27 01:09 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I went to this site. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38309480/how-to-animate-gifs-in-html-document and played around with it a bit
    September 23 08:20 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hahaha, i could see that but would be in Paris, or Bruges. Also Henry Cow the group that Slapp Happy joined, has some really good stuff too. And did the sloth gif work on my homepage?
    September 23 07:26 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yoyoyo, how good is Slapp Happy! I only discovered them this week and can't get enough
    September 23 06:48 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Yeah, I saw that one in your recent ratings--I'll listen to it soon.
    September 21 08:17 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts New Slothrust didn't grab me a ton. Somewhere between 3.0 and 3.5 for me. "Once More For The Ocean" is fun, though.
    September 21 07:54 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Nice Amyl and the Sniffers rating, I think it was my fav release of the week, and it was a strong week. You should check the EP by Rest Easy- Sick Day.
    September 11 01:52 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Slothrust is out tomorrow, BUT...... The new Sincere Engineer album, Bless My Psyche, is far superior, and you will dig it. Female fronted gritty Midwest emo/indie punk.
    September 9 05:22 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, you might dig the new album by Poor Me- Stalemate. It's gritty punk.
    September 5 09:46 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, my original message, which didn't go through, was Teenage Bottlerocket, over, Turnstile, over, The Bronx. For this week's releases. But the greater than sign didn't work.
    August 27 04:53 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Teenage Bottlerocket
    August 27 01:55 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts A Great Big Pile of Leaves is on my list, I don't think I've ever listened to anything by them.Check out the album Forbidden Fruit by The Bananas when you've got 25 min to spare, hah. It's a fun little lo-fi pop punk album I just came across. Bet you'd like it.
    August 20 06:05 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Oh yeah, not sure if you saw me mention in the album thread that I was raised Mormon (only left the church a few years ago) so a lot of the cultural/religious themes I have some experience with at least. My grandma lived in a small town about half the size of Nephi, UT and about 50 miles further south; we visited her for a couple weeks or so every summer. The whole atmosphere of the album reminds me of those times even though I didn't actually grow up there.
    August 20 06:03 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts So I just listened to Origami Gang and am loving their albums. Seriously just really fun records. I can see Gami Gang growing on me even more potentially. Oh and man that new Killers album is just hitting me hard. Glad to see you digging it as well!
    August 20 05:10 PM
  • SlothcoreSam I listened to a bit of Nerf Herder back in the day, might need to revisit it.
    August 17 04:52 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah the singers other band is Creeper. Their first album was great, but now they suck hard.
    August 14 02:48 AM
  • Sunnyvale I'll check that first EP as well then!
    August 3 01:23 PM
  • Sunnyvale Teamonade is pretty good! Just listened to the new EP twice so far, will be coming back to it for sure
    August 2 08:19 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, I think you will dig the new Torres album.
    July 31 11:36 PM
  • Sunnyvale Definitely looks interesting, will give them a listen!
    July 30 10:39 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Man what a great name for a band. Hah, yeah I just looked at the news article. At first I saw there were two comments but then realized they were just you. :) I added the EP to my list to check out when it releases. Have you listened to any of their albums? I just started Landmark.
    July 29 01:41 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Man your recs are killing it today, hah. I'm loving the James Supercave album halfway through it.
    July 27 07:08 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Really loving their stuff so far after checking out the Borderline EP! Thanks for the rec. I'll listen to the rest soon. Give Sidney Gish a listen--a song of hers came on automatically for me when the Teamonade EP finished and I ended up listening to her whole album No Dogs Allowed and enjoyed it a lot too.
    July 27 06:14 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, I don't mind some soft stuff. I am prescribed to Counter Intuitive records on Bandcamp. All their stuff is name your price. They are a great label, having bands like Origami Angel, Prince Daddy, Nervous Dater, Skatune Network, and heaps more. You should check them out on bandcamp, you can buy their whole discography for NYP in one transaction. I think I gave them 10 bucks, but I'm planning on doing a physical order for some vinyl soon.
    July 23 06:41 PM
  • SlothcoreSam They are so good, and different, don't even know how to describe them. You must have not added it to the database. I had to start a new entry for the band. I'll add all their EPs now.
    July 23 05:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It actually looks like it's just a compilation of everything they have released. The new EP was out today
    July 23 05:25 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Check the new album by Teamonade, it's outstanding. https://counterintuitiverecords.bandcamp.com/album/teamonade-this-far
    July 23 04:29 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah that definitely need to branch out more, get heavier, experiment a bit, the album was way too safe. Listening back to their last one, it's not even close. The last album had some great lyrics as well. I haven't had a chance to listen to them deeply in this album yet. You should check The Muslims - Gentrifried Chicken, it's fantastic, the band just signed to epitaph, so their next album could be huge.
    July 10 05:54 AM
  • SlothcoreSam **** that graduating Life album, is just early Say Anything. I wonder why they went this direction? It's not bad, actually good, but not what I wanted. It's like I'm back in 2005.
    July 10 02:31 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah Salem are great,I wish Creeper, the singers main band, stayed like that, their latest release was not good.
    July 9 06:08 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Will check those bands, thanks. What's a good list title these days?
    July 8 11:26 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Clowns is going to be great. https://youtu.be/OMn3wr_TQ0Q
    July 6 05:10 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah the new Snapped Ankles is great, just grooves along in a psychedelic post punk kinda way.
    July 1 06:25 PM
  • Dewinged Hey, I asked for it but the label hasn't provided just yet!
    June 20 08:01 AM
  • Lord(e)Po)))ts **** you
    June 18 01:46 AM
  • PotsyTater Thank you
    June 18 01:45 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You might like Pretty Sick. Also their is a new Slothrust track
    June 17 08:30 PM
  • klap longtime islands fan ("rough gem" is archetypal klapcore) so having not yet listened to it i can only assume that you are 100% correct
    June 12 08:38 PM
  • SlothcoreSam If you want some Aussie indie punk, check the new Sly Withers.
    June 12 02:11 AM
  • SlothcoreSam It's there twice, WTF, and both are wrong
    June 12 12:08 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, yeah I've tried changing it, too we are the, but the mods won't fix it. It's pretty decent album.
    June 12 12:06 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hell yeah, still got a 4.1 rating after 14 votes. Hopefully it holds up.
    June 9 04:49 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts I'm probably 5 or 6 times through Black Eyes already, hah. It's infectious. The run from track 4 to 7 is incredible. I'm conflicted on the Reuben album... really dig "Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin" and "Agatha/Agony", though. The lyrics on "Crushed Under..." are pretty great too, hah.
    June 6 10:44 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Chappaqua Wrestling was pretty good, I added them to my list to keep an eye out for an album. Will check Reuben at some point too. I've been going back to the Black Eyes album a lot, hah.
    June 4 07:18 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts What else did you find? Looks like I should check that Reuben album out.
    June 4 05:25 PM
  • SlothcoreSam And you need to check the new Raging Nathans tomorrow. So good
    June 4 06:49 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Luni is a massive grower, might overtake their previous 2 in the next month
    June 4 06:48 AM
  • Lord(e)Po)))ts In 2004 I was probably listening to Shaggy and Prozzac
    June 4 04:27 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Bet you'd dig the self titled Black Eyes album. If you check it out let me know.
    June 4 12:39 AM
  • Sunnyvale Just gave that Floatie album a second spin. I liked it, but didn't love it. Will definitely be keeping it in rotation and see if I get more out of it. Thanks again!
    May 18 02:58 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Thanks for the rec, just listened. I did like it, but it didn't grab my attention as much as some stuff. Could grow on me though! Also, the Squid album just keeps growing on me more and more. Might be bumping Bright Green Field to a 4.5 soon...
    May 17 05:29 PM
  • Sunnyvale Hadn't heard about it, but I'll give it a try. Thanks for the rec!
    May 14 09:11 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts The new Squid album has me just a little bit letdown to be honest. I guess I was hoping for more like Houseplants/The Cleaner, hah. I'm still liking it a good amount is the weird thing (I just commented on Sowing's review how I'm sitting around a 3.5 or 4.0 right now), but it wasn't what I really wanted from them I guess. Still excited to see where they go from here though.
    May 10 07:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It is unique, lol, but not really my style. Try again.
    May 9 12:50 AM
  • SlothcoreSam **** this Ableist album goes hard!
    April 27 01:52 AM
  • Slex Yr Body Void blurb sold me hard, cheers
    April 24 06:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Joystick is out tomorrow. Some punky Ska to brighten your day
    April 15 11:39 PM
  • dmathias52 I don?t know if I?ll have time to review it, but absolutely obsessed with that Flyte album. Probs top 5 of the year at least honestly
    April 14 03:04 AM
  • SlothcoreSam https://youtu.be/h9qrPLVFxGo guys got skills
    April 13 09:02 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Turnstile are great. 90s style hardcore grunge, channeling bands like, RATM, Helmet and James addiction
    April 13 12:26 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Man I really like both of their EPs (took me a bit to find them since your message had said *Edith* of Delirum, hah). Eventually found them in your recent ratings, though. That refrain in "Quit ****ing Around" from last year's EP is stuck in my head now.
    April 12 07:28 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Nice, I'm on it--I'll check it out soon. Just been too obsessed with Ween lately, hahah. God they've grown on me like crazy over the last month.
    April 12 03:11 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yoyoyo, glad you enjoyed those albums. I'll have to check that Turnstile album, I have missed it. That was presputnik days for me, so I missed a few that were big here. I'll check it and let you know
    April 10 05:46 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Want some upbeat skate punk. Check the new album by Chaser - Dreamers.
    April 8 07:30 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It's a solid week this week, new Kali Masi, '68 and Citizen albums. Then new singles by, Direct Hit!, Sincere Engineer, Signals Midwest, Bad Astronaut, Belvedere, Bruce Lee Band, Devon Kay, The Bronx, Mannequin Pussy, Iceage, McCafferty, and the best one here Joystick feat Zach Quinn of PEARS - 7675. Don't sleep on that one.
    March 25 04:35 PM
  • SlothcoreSam https://youtu.be/6hPFfhvDZeo this is great.
    March 25 04:21 PM
  • SlothcoreSam That's what is thinking too. The drummer is on his own mission to get noticed by a post-hardcore band. Some of the songs work real well, and at other times I feel they need a 2nd yellier singer. They have potential though.
    March 15 04:44 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You might dig Calyx- Stay Gone
    March 14 07:02 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Slothrust song is great. What you been listening to lately?
    March 13 02:37 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Actually, check The Best of the Worst- Bad Medicine. It's messy Ska mixed with hardcore.
    February 20 05:03 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, Nervous Dater are great. Their last album was so good, check the songs Bad Spanish and Don't be A Stranger, they were both in my top 100 in 2017
    February 20 04:15 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You checked Billy No Mates yet?
    February 20 03:31 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Got my Jan list posted. You might find a couple you like there.
    February 8 11:21 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You might the new album by Billy No Mates. S. F Sourdough
    February 6 02:14 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The first Ghostfuneral release is all over the place, but in a fun way, the second is straight up math rock, not as varied. I'm just about to do a best of January list, there might be a couple there you will enjoy. You found anything good this year yet?
    February 4 06:01 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Oh yeah I've been listening to Squid a lot lately, hah. Make sure to check out their other singles too ("Houseplants", "Sludge", "The Dial"). Their debut LP comes out May 7 on Warp. I'm really excited, all new songs. A band with a similar sound is Do Nothing--check out "Glueland" and "LeBron James" for a sampling. I'm pretty sure I found Black Foxxes on Conmaniac's 2020 list, I've been loving that album for sure.
    February 1 05:14 PM
  • SlothcoreSam How good is that Broadway Calls album from last year!?
    January 9 12:45 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Haha, love your soundoff. I'm re listening to the album now, I must have checked it, but didn't give it a chance. It's starting to vibe now.
    December 31 04:14 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Thanks for all your support Exploda, :). Have you heard the 2011 album by Static Radio NJ - We Are Beasts. Minushuman recd it to me, and it's almost an instant classic. Really good melodic punk.
    December 31 04:02 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Got my list up, there might be some hidden gems there for ya.
    December 27 06:17 PM
  • SlothcoreSam People sleeping on lots this year. I'm just about to put up my yearly list, and there is a lot of under appreciated punk in there.
    December 19 01:47 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts So just one day later somehow it all clicked. I listened through both Welcome to Conceptual Beach and S/T yesterday and loved it all. Hah.
    December 13 04:46 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Yeah, who knows. From everything I've listened, I've liked "Pattern Doubt" and "(un)knowing" the most (especially the vocal inflections going on near the end of (un)knowing). Could just be a mood thing, because their sound reminds me a lot of Pile, but I've found I have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy Pile's work.
    December 11 09:12 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Been listening to Young Jesus and it just hasn't been clicking with me. Everything seems like it should be something I really like, but so far it's been middling for whatever reason. I'll check out the album from this year, though, I've been listening to S/T and The Whole Is Just There.
    December 10 09:04 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You want want some fast melodic punk like PEARS and A Wilhelm Scream. Check this year's album by The Stifled - Everything's Fine
    December 10 01:12 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Sweet, I'm on it. At some point at least. :)
    December 1 04:18 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Oh man, yeah their live shoes are always tight. Definitely worth making it out at least once. I've seen them 3 times in Seattle now. Every year since 2017, I think (sans this year).
    December 1 12:54 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Yeah, for real. That's a vocal skill that deserves to be scattered around their work more often. You listening to anything else lately? I'm a big King Gizzard fan, so I've been spinning their new album a good amount.
    December 1 12:28 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts "Happy Together" was ****ing great! That last minute went far harder than I was expecting.
    November 30 11:45 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Haven't checked out that EP yet, hah. Sounds like I need to get on it!
    November 30 10:31 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Yeah I checked out some of their earlier work and it's a bit more straightforward/raw sounding (not saying that's bad, just a different style for sure). Their stylistic shift from those older ones to The Pact actually reminds me of Great Grandpa's transition from Plastic Cough to Four of Arrows.
    November 25 06:01 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts The Slothrust album you recently rated is damn good. I ended up listening to it 3 or 4 times yesterday and am currently listening too! Have you checked the rest of their discography yet?
    November 25 01:05 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Want some fast melodic punk out of Finland, check this. https://bucketpunk.bandcamp.com/album/indoor-activities
    October 26 02:33 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey, just listening to Scared of Bears, they have a stripped back, folky punk, McCafferty/Front Bottoms feel. https://scaredofbears.bandcamp.com/
    October 18 07:16 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You should dig it then, especially since you liked Pears, so much. You should also check the back catalogue of Streetlight Manifesto. Best punk Ska band ever.
    October 8 11:44 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Ok will check them out, I don't know much about them, and no idea of the drama, so will listen unbiased.
    September 27 02:34 AM
  • SlothcoreSam https://youtu.be/ZDPIK7Fz_g4
    August 28 05:12 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, no rush WIE, I'll make a list one day, then you will just have to refer to that. In the mean time check the new single be Get Dead, https://getdead.bandcamp.com/album/dancing-with-the-curse
    August 13 09:53 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You will like this fast, upbeat female fronted punk. Shehehe - Pet Sounds. just got released.
    August 7 04:38 AM
  • Slex You need to check Rockets Red Glare then, basically sounds like an alternate universe where Slint was post-hardcore instead of post-rock
    August 6 04:31 PM
  • Slex Right on! One of my favorite bands for sure, the single for their new album tomorrow is sooooo good, first release in 21 years too!!
    August 6 03:58 PM
  • SlothcoreSam https://classicsoflove.bandcamp.com/releasesCheck their new EP. Think you will like it.
    July 30 07:24 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got a fast fun catchy punk album for you to check, come out tomorrow. The Raging Nathans - Oppositional Defiance
    July 23 10:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey check the new Bad Cop Bad Cop album. It's 90 percent awesome
    June 20 05:31 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I don't know Pardoner, will check them out tonight. I've been busy listening to The Orphans- Raise The Youth, it's 80s sounding melodic hardcore punk.
    May 20 08:54 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You're gonna like the new Western Addiction album, Frail Bray. It's a lot like PEARS, but a bit slower more rocknroll.
    May 14 08:11 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Oh yeah Peripheral Vision is a great album. Turnover's two releases after that were a big letdown. Magnolia might be worth checking out if you like PV, but PV is definitely their best.
    May 13 11:07 PM
  • SlothcoreSam ?ol, love your soundoff for Apathy Cycle. It does have major skaterboy vibes
    May 8 03:40 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You need some fast noisy punk, like PEARS? Check the new album by Apathy Cycle-Apathy Cycle.
    May 6 10:32 PM
  • Slex Nicolas Jaar, Shell of a Shell and Fiona Apple are my top 3 for AOTY atm, but Peach Pit really probably is my favorite and is in my top 5/10
    May 2 09:24 AM
  • TheNotrap Thanks!
    April 23 02:39 PM
  • TheNotrap I've done three reviews in a row recently, I have to take a short break ;) why don't you go ahead, mate?
    April 23 08:19 AM
  • Waior haha, is it quite quiet here? i'm a little divorced to writing hit pieces now this world is my bread and butter but if i can find people to talk about music with, that at least is worth doing, right?
    April 23 03:06 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts Definitely liking the Peach Pit album after a couple listens. Not sure if it's a 3.5 or 4.0 for me yet. I'm still obsessing over the Empty Country album and keep going back to it. Also just got around to listening to a chunk of Car Seat Headrest's discography and am loving it.
    April 8 12:24 AM
  • FuzzyThoughts On it... I'll let you know what I think!
    April 6 06:52 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Screeching Weasel- Some a freaks of Atavism. It's fun AF punk
    April 3 11:52 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Check out the new one by Suicide Machines - Revolution Spring.
    March 30 07:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Fun little 3 track EP, Sordid Ordeal- Great Ocean Road.
    March 21 03:54 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeeeeeeah. Love it!
    March 7 04:17 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It is so good, I am onto second listen now. It is great having an Australian Spotify account, get all the releases a day early. The album is all over the place, there is a random 80s sounding alt rock song at the back end.
    March 5 05:05 PM
  • Sowing Oh yeah definitely similar. It's basically Pile's guitarist's band lol.
    February 28 10:07 PM
  • Sowing I did listen to Pile, and I like Shell better
    February 28 05:06 PM
  • Slex Haven't listened to Pile, finna check in full today
    February 28 05:00 PM
  • DDDeftoneDDD It takes will to go through it. But that track works damn well by itself. Do it when you can. You from the US?
    February 22 12:09 PM
  • DDDeftoneDDD Just watch it explode and let yourself go (vol up to max)
    February 21 09:02 PM
  • DDDeftoneDDD Tks to you I ve been through that beast again. s*** man, Culmination is a 10/5 track. Set that tune when you can and give ir full focus. Its pink flodish af, but then you get an amazing jazzy and metal amazing solo and then my friend, around 12.30 onwards you simply go out of here, specifically at 13.40. I feel my year and my musical journey on sput through these genres culminates there, on culminatio of culmination. Feel it friend x)
    February 21 08:48 PM
  • DDDeftoneDDD PEEEEEU WRRAAAAAAAAA PEEEEEU WRRAAAAAAAAA PEEEEEU WRRAAAAAAAAA
    February 21 06:28 PM
  • SlothcoreSam **** yeah man. Green Star is almost a 5. New album out soon.
    February 15 08:49 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Hey I'd bet you'll enjoy the debut Beach Bunny album that came out today ("Honeymoon"). Reminds me of Termination Dust's "Growing Down" somewhat.
    February 14 09:20 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts Will do! Cheers.
    February 12 04:27 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts "This is a Pinback CD" is great--I'll need to explore their other albums too. Thanks for the rec!!
    February 11 04:05 PM
  • FuzzyThoughts I'll try to check out Pinback soon. Looks like they've got a few highly rated albums even.
