July 2022

Bartees Strange - Farm to Table: Just not my thing this time around

Four Year Strong - Rise or Die Trying: So glad I caught these guys live before checking out a really solid album

Foxtails - fawn: Atmospheric enough to hold your attention, passionate enough to make you care

Gospel - The Loser: Glad I checked out the whole album even if some of it falls flat

Jayne County - Wayne County At The Trucks: Another gem from the depths of rock history

Joyce Manor - 40 Oz. to Fresno: A seventeen minute LP

Lobster Fight - Sun Soaking: An exhilarating disconnect between vocals and music

Max Creeps - Nein: The schtick detracts from an otherwise decent punk album

Out Of Service - The Ground Beneath Me: Big Brand New comparisons are justified

p.s.you'redead - Sugar Rot: I am not sure what kind of core to call this, but I like it

Short Fictions - Every Moment of Every Day: Very eclectic

Silent Drive - Fairhaven: Feels like they put everything they had into it

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina II: The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music: I mean, this is really good

Smashing Pumpkins - MACHINA_the machines of God: Surprised it is not more well thought of

Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist: The mix is a little muddy and the songs a little samey

Smashing Pumpkins - CYR: Bloated and overwrought but still great

Regina Spektor - Home, Before And After: Soothing

Static Dress - Rouge Carpet Disaster: Very reminiscent of early 2000s post-hardcore

Sweet Pill - Where The Heart Is: Very interested in hearing more of this Amanda Palmer/Midwest emo blend

Various - Hymns For The Scorned: Two of the best teaming up for a surprisingly paced split

Wilco - Cruel Country: Calming
