Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

May 3rd, 2019 49m 54s

We listened to Turn on the Bright Lights from Interpol. Their first record released in 2002 could lazily be compared to Joy Division...we try hard not to do that but here we are and we just did. An ode to NYC which remains true - the

Rodan - Rusty

Apr 12th, 2019 1h 12m

We listened to Rusty from Rodan. Big shocker we're still stuck back in the early nineties talking about Slint, June of '44, Bob Weston, the thin post rock guitars and huge drums. So predicable. Matt reveals the movie Half cocked actual

Mar 29th, 2019 17m 34s

We listened to the song "All we got is each other" by Japanther off Instant Money Magic, which Matt figured out is actually a cover of a Ghost Mice song (not according to Discogs. -ed) Crazy. Support each other, DIY, everything is punk

John Thill - The Greatest Hits Of John Thill : Volume II

Mar 8th, 2019 53m 34s

We listened to John Thill's Greatest Hits Volume 2, no there was no volume 1 that we know of. For some reason we both have become a tiny bit obsessed with Mr Thill. He has the right amount of tragedy, comedy and sincerity with a four t

At The Drive In - Relationship of Command

Mar 1st, 2019 1h 5m

Wire - Pink Flag

Feb 22nd, 2019 1h 1m

We listened to Wire's, Pink Flag from 1977. An art school band to the core who got serious with punk and six months later they record this kind of genius. Everything mashed together, no hierarchy, constant reinvention, don't copy the S

Them Are Us Too - Remain

Jan 11th, 2019 59m 7s

We listen to Remain from Them Are Us Too on Dias Records. Their first and only proper album with Cash Askew and Kennedy Ashlyn who met at Kennedys goth birthday party where they bonded over Cash's playlist. A typical art school band st

Chelsea Wolf - Pain Is Beauty
