| 10 Year Sputversary + My band’s new record!
Sput… Almost 10 years on this godforsaken site. On again, off again, but always lurking. Feels like yesterday that I was sitting in high school English class struggling to log in on my phone (it’s really not much better now, ha) and rate every album I’d ever listened to. I remember way back when we used to do loads of plug.dj sessions. The internet is a strange and beautiful place. This community. has opened me up to so many artists and records that I would have never been exposed to otherwise. The appreciation is real.
So, my band just dropped our 1st full-length. I do the lead vocals and play rhythm guitar - this is my main creative outlet. It would mean the world if you all could check it out. It’s punky rock music, a little sing-songy-y. Think PUP, The Menzingers, The Hotelier, etc. We’re 100% DIY, so any support goes a long way (and touches our hearts I could talk all day about this thing (the bad and the good), but, I tthhiinnkk Atari may be spinning up a review sometime soon - which I can’t wait to read! Please let me know what you think. If you stream on Spotify, you can see all of the cool artwork that our good friend did for us. | | 1 |  | The Menzingers
On the Impossible Past
Most of the entries on the list are records that are very informative of my taste and writing on this thing (first few are direct influences of “For Fans Of” entries, many of the others are just things that I listen to enough so as to be inescapably linked to anything I write), last entry is our record :) Peace and love, all. | | 2 |  | PUP

09.15.22 | Holy shit, your album rips!
Massive Menzingers vibes, and that's a good thing! | SlothcoreSam
09.15.22 | Your vocals are great, have you floated this to record labels, you guys could get signed easily, that's if you wanted.
Probably the best Midwest Emo release this year. | PitchforkArms
09.15.22 | Thanks a bunch, my dude! We haven't even thought to float it to any records, tbh. | mkmusic1995
09.15.22 | Will check this thing out! Looking forward to it! | YoYoMancuso
09.15.22 | will listen to this ASAP | SlothcoreSam
09.15.22 | Any plans for a physical release?
Gonna drop some coins on the bandcamp page. | pjquinones747
09.15.22 | Just followed and saved on Spotify and i'm listening now, great stuff so far! | PitchforkArms
09.15.22 | Thanks for all of the kind words, friends.
@Sloth, if we generate enough interest, we may print a short run of vinyl with some cool art package w/ all of the track art. Probably not enough to make any money, but just enough to make some bros happy | EvoHavok
09.15.22 | Happy sputversary and keep up the nice work with your band! :) | PitchforkArms
09.15.22 | Thanks, yo!
Atari, ya boy still hoping for a rev (: | SlothcoreSam
09.15.22 | "How old are you, anyway?
I'm old enough to know that I'm up to no good"
Is this a dig at predatory behavior in the scene? | PitchforkArms
09.15.22 | Ha! Not necessarily. With the state of the scene now, I'm sure it reads like that.
That was actually the first song we ever wrote as a band - in like 2015 LOL. Probably the least "read into -able" song I've ever written. Underage drinking and passing out drunk where I shouldn't have been.... | chemicalmarriage
09.15.22 | Bird is the word | SlothcoreSam
09.16.22 | Onto my 4th spin of this sweet thang!
Keeps on getting better. | Minortimbo12
09.16.22 | genre for album? | SlothcoreSam
09.16.22 | I'd classify it as Midwest Emo, with punk and alt rock undertones | Minortimbo12
09.16.22 | Huh. I'll give it a spin. | SlothcoreSam
09.17.22 | Pines, It's What it is, and Starting are my current favs. | Manatea
09.17.22 | Album is great! Really enjoyed it. Congrats | Sunnyvale
09.17.22 | Best New Music! Well done. | PitchforkArms
09.17.22 | Thanks, all!! | nickisnotarapper
09.25.22 | Diggin this, great influences too! lmk if you guys go on tour, I can help you get a show in Phoenix! | PitchforkArms
09.27.22 | hell to the yeah, dude. At this point, we're all a little too comfortable in our cushy jobs to really throw big time touring out there, but we may do some midwest weekend things in 2023. I think we're focused on getting LP2 in the works. I own/operate a media studio that I just moved locations and getting the buildout finished there so that LP2 can be undertaken is priority #1 :) | combustion07
01.02.23 | Works cannot express how much I miss the good ol' plug.dj days and also the tinychat that I'd always be in as liljon or lilwyte lol. Simpler times and many good memories! | PitchforkArms
01.12.23 | Big time, comb. Those years we SO formative. I was such a metalhead at that point, too, LOL. I have been on the hip-hop & country tip for YEARS now. |
