Yucky Duster rises from grave, kicks ass, lies down in grave again

Album: III Artist: Yucky Duster Genre: #indie #alternative Sub-Genres: #altrock #punk #poppunk #punkrock #garage Label: Yucky Duster Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Very occasionally, you stumble onto a single or EP that feels like the beginning of the next great indie rock outfit. I felt that way listening to The Regrettes’ first couple singles, and I felt it this year with Wet Leg’s debut single Chaise Lounge. I also felt it in 2016, when Brooklyn-based indie band Yucky Duster rele

Beartooth - Below Singles Review

Album: Below Singles Artist: Beartooth Genre: #Metalcore #Hardcore Sub-Genres: #Punk #MelodicHardcore Label: Red Bull Records Description: The two songs Devastation and The Past Is Dead provide a flawless transition into the coming album from Beartooth.

Tacocat Rocks 191 Toole, 1/24/2020

As a Seattle-area native, a feminist, and an a pop-punk fan, its no surprise that Tacocat is one of my favorite bands. Formed in Seattle in 2007 of singer Emily Nokes, guitarist Eric Randall, drummer Lelah Maupin, and bassist Bree McKenna, Tacocat is an indie pop-punk quartet known for their vibrant aesthetic and bubbly, humorous, feminism-infused songwriting. I unfortunately never got to see Tacocat live when I lived in Seattle, so when I discovered they were touring to Tucs

Starcrawler – Devour You Review

Album: Devour You Artist: Starcrawler Genre: #Alt Sub-Genres: #Punk, #GlamRock Label: Rough Trade Records Non-Airable Tracks: Tank Top Description: Starcrawler is a good time. Scratch that, they are a great time. “Devour You” packs a punch with a sound and energy you just don’t hear anymore. Their influence is unapologetically 70s. Elements of glam-rock are present, with a track like “No More Pennies” sounding right at home in rotation with bands like the New York Dolls and S

Love Wins by Hello Yello Review

Album: Love Wins Artist: Hello Yello Genre: #Alt #indie Sub-Genres: #Grunge, #garagerock, #punk, #emo, #hiphop Label: Self-Released Non-Airable Tracks: I Don’t Care, Maybe Description: Love Wins is the debut EP from Oakland based trio Hello Yello. The musicians express distaste toward the idea of defining themselves by one genre, an attitude evident in their unique sound. This EP is fantastic. It pulls elements from punk, emo, grunge, garage rock, and hip-hop and blends them

Take This to Heart by Ivey Review

Album: Take This to Heart Artist: Ivey Genre: #Alt #Indie Sub-Genres: #Poppunk Label: Conta Coda Media Non-Airable Tracks: Description: Take This to Heart is the debut full-length album from Nashville-based alt rockers Ivey. When I started listening to it I was instantly reminded of really old Fall Out Boy, the Fall Out Boy that had just released Take This to Your Grave and was still playing basement show in Chicago. Take This to Heart is full of hearty guitar riffs, crooning

Daddy Issues- Pip Blom

Album: *Single* Daddy Issues Artist: Pip Blom Genre: #AltRock Sub-Genres: #Indie, #IndiePop, #PostPunk Label: Heavenly Recordings Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: I really enjoyed the overall beat of the song, and the fun guitar melody. It is definitely an upbeat jam, although the lyrics were nothing too special. This song would fit in on a soundtrack to an early 2000s chick flick, not saying that is a bad thing that’s just the first setting that comes to mind. Anyone wh

“Popular Music” by LIFE Review

Album: Popular Music Artist: LIFE Genre: Alternative/Indie Sub-genres: #alt #altrock #Punk Label: Afghan Moon Non-Airable Tracks: None Description: “Popular Music” by LIFE is a brilliantly angry, loud, and political punk rock album. I like how the guitarists mix loads of heavily distorted chords with moments of clean, melodic parts that add musical intrigue and keep the songs from becoming too langry or rough to be enjoyable. I also enjoyed the heavy use of bass on this albu

Turned On by Power Review

Album: Turned On Artist: Power Genre: #Punk Sub-Genres: #PostHardcore, #NoiseRock, #MelodicHardcore Label: Cool Death Non-Airable Tracks: N/A Release Date: July 6th, 2018 Description: Hailing from Australia, Power performs a melodic, post-hardcore punk that is reminiscent of the late 80s and early 90s. Turned On is their second album and is incredibly similar in quality to their first, Electric Glitter Boogie, and the biggest difference is that the guitar player takes many mo
