Charles the Osprey – Fermin Romero de Torres

The Village — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:57:44 +0000

The liner notes for this album include “We made this album just as we made Consider, with no overdubs, loop pedals or effects pedals so we could preform it live exactly as it is on this record.” My dudes, effects pedals, even loopers, are portable. You can easily use those in a live setting, many bands do.

Tired Lion – Japan

The Village — Mon, 21 May 2018 00:44:56 +0000

Dumb Days, is easily one of my top albums of last year. Like the Bully album from last year, this 90s throw-back-ish stuff isn’t usually my thing. But something about this does it for me. Super catchy with some pop-punk thrown in.

Limp Wrist – Square One

I’m going to be honest here, I wrote this band off for years without ever listening to them. In my head they sounded like Chixdiggit and had a name like the Queers. I have zero idea where this theory came from.

I’m dumb.

This crushes.

Lingua Ignota – Woe To All (On The Day of My Wrath)

The Village — Sat, 28 Apr 2018 19:00:16 +0000

The first 5 minutes and 15 seconds of this are fantastic, then it loses me until the 12 minute mark. But at 15 total minutes, this is tough listen.

But those first 5 minutes.

All Pigs Must Die – Blood Wet Teeth

Sun, 08 Apr 2018 16:00:05 +0000

This band has never really done it for me. I never hated them, I just couldn’t make myself care. Then Hostage Animal came out last year.

Good god.

This thing destroys. They do thrash/crossover, sludge, hardcore, metal and nail it all. It makes me want to go back and take a look at those other albums I didn’t really care about.

Brockhampton – Boogie

Try to talk shit on this, I dare you.

You can’t, it is fantastic.

Deforesters – I’ll Take the Crab Juice

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 14:00:23 +0000

Deforesters aren’t the most original band in the world, but they are good at what they do, taking org-core/ no idea punk and adding some pop-punk on top.

Its catchy as hell.

Bully – Running

Fri, 23 Mar 2018 14:00:25 +0000

This isn’t normally my type of thing. I’m not big on 90s throwback stuff. But there is something about this album that rises above 90s grunge worship. It’s a little rougher, some songs even have a touch of noise rock, and her voice is great.

Diet Cig – Tummy Ache

Sugary sweet with enough edge. The album this song is from, I Swear I’m Good at This, ends up kind of running together, with a lot of stuff sounding too similar. But there are a few tracks like this one and Sixteen that really stand out as great.
