Catharsis incoming from emo's bleeding heart: Matt DeMello's Canaries for the Cauldron is a "truly unhinged" B-sides collection spanning doo-wop Sublime covers to banjo-laden LCD Soundsystem and vaporwave collabs — essential leftovers from his pop-crossover LP. Tabsplitter's End of the Line delivers an energetic yet melancholic gut-punch about witnessing tragedy at the train platform, while The Darts' Topple Over Yesteryear rage against the machine with hooligan fury — punk rock forever and ever. The Darts' All That Remains of Popularity Wars adds bittersweet chaos with missing tracks and sobriety anthems, and Andrew Marshall's Waited Forever rounds things out with heartfelt conviction that no amount of success matters more than making the best songs possible.
