“Chill, yet possess the energy to make you move.”
Jangly post-punk at its finest: Baby Combat's 12 / Pop Is The Noblest Genre collates fuzzy, hook-led guitar songs with nervous energy and a scrappy post-punk edge into one essential double album. Jacob's Fall's Lost In Silence channels melancholy and inner struggle into dark, atmospheric, deeply melodic rock that's intensely elegiac yet never hopeless. Chris of Wilderness's White Swami delivers a pharmaceutical-grade shot of hip-hop beats fused with synth/sampler paranoia and poetic explorations of drugs, the panopticon, and faith, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! is a proggy, industrial, and gloriously crass punk odyssey — no filler, all killer.
““The Scapegoat’s Agony' — Coma Beach’s razor‑sharp blast of punk catharsis and existential turmoil”
“A raw, existential blast of punk‑driven despair and dark wit — Coma Beach’s fractured odyssey, remixed and resurrected”
“Coma Beach’s 'I Won’t Listen' cuts like shards of broken glass — four violent jolts of punk rock refusal and post-punk gloom.”
“Lenny and the D's self titled is a smash up of fast paced indie rock with introspective, wall-of-sound vocal harmonies, all wrapped up in a groovy, self-aware package.”
“On the critically acclaimed new album 'Chimera,' The City Gates blend post-punk, shoegaze, and darkwave into a reverb-heavy, atmospheric sound driven by pulsing basslines and cinematic intensity.”
“'Beyond' is a work of post-industrial rock with elements of musique concrete, inspired by the cold realms of existence beyond human understanding, hope and desire.”
“Irish Post Punk, fans of 90s cult bands Whipping Boy, and Into Paradise should check this out...”
“A bit more on the upbeat side for a dark alt./post-punk/goth rock song, Sound And Fury explores the masks we wear and illusions we carry into our social personas, especially in club situations.”
