| Sloth's 23W4
Last week of January and the best of the year so far. | | 1 |  | Hotel lux
Hands Across the Creek
Post Punk
3.1
Some decent tracks, very British, lots of local references.
Will I listen again (WILA): maybe a song here or there. | | 2 |  | Climb
Keep Me From What I Want
EP
Hardcore/alt metal
2.9
WILA: nope, can do without | | 3 |  | Fucked Up
One Day
Post hardcore/alt rock
3.8
Fucked up are expanding there sound again, pushing the boundaries of what's to far for them. Vocals are the only thing left that's hardcore. Lots of pop punk and alt rock song structures.
WILA: there are some solid tracks here so yeah check again. | | 4 |  | Pascow
Sieben
German Punk
3.4
WILA: album is good, but I'm starting to get a big 2023 playlist, and won't find room for this, a little bit too generic. | | 5 |  | Ziggy Ramo
Sugar Coated Lies
Hip hop
3
Political, indigenous Australian hip hop, lyrics are the best thing about this, not really feeling the producing or beats.
WILA: No | | 6 |  | White Reaper
Asking For A Ride
Alt rock/ Punk
3.7
Anthems that are both fun and catchy. This one has grown on me already. Love the vocals and garage punky sound of the band.
WILA : yes | | 7 |  | The arcs
Electrophonic Chronic
Indie rock/ psych blues rock
3.2
Dan from The Black Keys trying his hardest to replicate Tame Impala's sound.
WILA : Not terrible, but don't need it. | | 8 |  | //less
Social Disappointment
EP
Noise Punk
3.9
Some dirty fuzzy gritty garage noise punk out of France.
WILA : Fuck yeah this is getting bumped as I type | | 9 |  | Loud Fox Cult
Cult Classic
EP
Pop Punk
3.7
Very good pop punk, this will get some of you excited for sure.
WILA: Yeah when I'm in that mood. | | 10 |  | The drin
Today My Friend You Drunk the Venom
Post Punk
3.2
Some minimal post punk. Musically great, vocals are not my liking.
WILA : Nah | | 11 |  | Fankaz/Out in Style
Itadakimasu
Split EP
Skate Punk/Hardcore
3.9
Fast melodic skate punk out of Italy/Brazil/canada at least. If a split EP makes you want to check out both bands then job done. This is great.
WILA: Yeah, and now going to check their individual stuff. | | 12 |  | Ming City Rockers
Lime
Garage Rock/Punk
2.9
Nothing special here, songs are good,but that's it.
WILA : No | | 13 |  | Speed plans
Statues of Gold
Hardcore Punk
4.2
Sounding like it's straight out of 83, this is some tasty distorted hardcore. Best hardcore release this year so far.
WILA : yup | | 14 |  | Total Downer
Caretaker
Power Pop/Punk
4.7
AOTY so far. Think Jeff Rosenstock crossed with Joyce Manor, a little bit of Weezer and vocals sounding like Robert Smith at times. This is so good, get on it.
WILA: Yeah have spun over 10 times, this is a lot of fun. I'm singing along already. "Dolly Parton give us money" | | 15 |  | Parannoul
After The Magic
Post Rock/5th wave emo
4.3
Parannoul makes the album he's always wanted, turns out he is a fan of Sigur Ros. A lot to unpack, long songs, if only I knew Korean.
WILA: Yes | | 16 |  | Oozing Wound
We Cater To Cowards
Noise rock/Sludge thrash
4.0
Now this is some filthy Sludge noise thrash. Check it.
WILA: Yes | | 17 |  | Ni Por Favor Ni Ostias
Tranquilos!!!

Spanish Ska Punk band, delivering fast fun tunes
WILA: Yep | | 18 |  | Nervous (AUS)
Ruined
Hardcore punk/garage punk
3.8
Australian female fronted hardcore punk, most of this is great.
WILA : Yeah | | 19 |  | Jaggu
Rites for the Damned
Stoner Rock
3.3
Great music, however vocals let this down.
WILA: maybe | | 20 |  | Complete Mountain Almanac
Complete Mountain Almanac
Singer Songwriter / Chamber pop
3.2
Some nice tracks, and some sleepy ones.
WILA : Not on purpose, but my lady likes it, so probably. | | 21 |  | Angel Electronics
Ultra Paradise
Cringecore
1.3
What a mess.
WILA : Fuck off | | 22 |  | Pure Adult
II
Post Punk/Art Punk
2.9
Some great elements across the album, but it never comes together for me
WILA : No | | 23 |  | Guitar Fight from Fooly Cooly
Drought
EP
5th wave emo / Mathy punk
4.8
Perfect 4 track EP that's been 2 years in the making. For those that like Origami Angel.

Great melodic punk.
WILA: Yeah | |

01.30.23 | This week has been stacked!
January complete, 103 albums and EPs checked.
12 EPs added to the yearly playlist
24 albums added to rotation.
The rest can fuck off to the rock I found them under.
Check Total Downer! | YoYoMancuso
01.30.23 | excited to check 14 | Uzumaki
01.31.23 | That’s the correct Parannoul rating you got there, good job | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Thanks Uzu, now check Speed Plans and //LESS for some juicy hardcore, and noisecore. | Storm In A Teacup
01.31.23 | I’m mad at you for revealing the existence of such a shitty album as 21 is. | Storm In A Teacup
01.31.23 | It’s a really bad Rivers Cuomo acid trip. | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | It was so baaaad storm, but some people out there love it. | JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.23 | is 21 actually bad or is it just one of those records perfectly poised to get under the skin of the sputnikmusic crusty guitarnerd leafbrain -type B? | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Try it Johnny, you will see. | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Oh wait, you actually like Ada Rook, so you might enjoy this. | JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.23 | ada rook is sometimes fantastic and sometimes v much not, but she does have a way of filtering the right people for the right reasons
"AOTY so far. Think Jeff Rosenstock crossed with Joyce Manor, a little bit of Weezer and vocals sounding like Robert Smith at times"
also this sounds godawful but will peep | JohnnyoftheWell
01.31.23 | and yeah i don't get it - don't love the main vocalist, but both of you have rep'd pop punk/scenecore albums far more cringe than this. at least the gimmick here is cute and self-aware | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | I can fuck with experimental emo/pop punk, but this ain't it. | WatchItExplode
01.31.23 | Checking a few of these today | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Start with 14, it's good fun. | WatchItExplode
01.31.23 | Yep, 14 was good vibes. Three is more interesting than their last couple but I never quite connect with them. 11 is interesting so far and 15 was very much not my thing | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Actually stop listening to these and check the new EP by Guitar Fight From Fooly Cooly | YoYoMancuso
01.31.23 | Sam these lists are going to give me an endless list of albums to review, big thanks | SlothcoreSam
01.31.23 | Hope you like some of them YoYo.
Let me know what you think of the new Overgrow song. |
