  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah that's gonna be a good one, I loved the first single
    June 10 11:46 PM
  • Sunnyvale Hey Atari! Hope all is well - I just shot you a message on Discord.
    June 10 10:30 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, don't forget the new Telethon
    June 6 03:50 AM
  • Hawks No preference bro. Whatever you think I'll like lol.
    June 2 09:22 PM
  • Hawks Yessss do that for sure bro!! I won't let you forget don't worry. ;]
    June 2 06:55 PM
  • Hawks I feel that my brother! There are tons but I'd say go with Callous Daoboys, ...and Oceans, Saor, Sargeist, Warmoon Lord, Dawn of Ouroboros, Burning Palace and Labyrinthine Heirs to start with lol. Those are some of my favs so far.
    June 2 04:49 PM
  • Hawks Sup bro?
    May 31 06:15 PM
  • SlothcoreSam That Ataris song was good, yeh got Gaslight vibes for sure. They got an album coming, would be good to go the Americana punk route.
    May 20 06:14 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Raging Nathans is good
    May 17 06:32 PM
  • JesperL yes!! new song made me realise i never rated their first two haha, they're just the absolute cutest band around rn (forever in love w kiwi accents)
    May 7 06:40 AM
  • DoofDoof I am a little daunted by choosing it for review but theres a possibility, 2025 keeps throwing new stuff to obsess over though which is great but if I dont review something relatively quickly it falls away from being the number one album in my rotation.
    April 25 04:53 PM
  • DoofDoof How is the review getting on? You still planning on writing up the Craig Finn? Need somewhere to talk about it - gave it a few days break and returned and my opinion went up. Thats going up from an existing 5 rating!
    April 24 08:27 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah, pumped for a new album, it's been a while
    April 14 04:34 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Check the Old City album that dropped last year, hip hop with a lot of punk, (riffs, special guests and references)
    April 14 03:54 PM
  • DoofDoof Go for it, I am still away on hols for a week, I am dropping in here while away but dont have the time or inclination to write until a few days after I get back I would guess. Would love to read a review of it here though, album blew me away.
    April 12 05:31 PM
  • Hawks Thanks my man!! Much appreciated. :]
    March 22 09:44 PM
  • Sowing Yep haha. No better note to go out on than my favorite album of (at least) the last half-decade. By the way, you would likely enjoy the new album by Fust. Just discovered them and the alt-country/folk vibes are in full swing.
    March 9 11:53 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey, I've been busy with my 2 little ones on holidays in Aus visiting family and friends, so been super busy. But the new Telethon just dropped and it's pretty good
    March 7 11:11 PM
  • Sunnyvale Nice - hope you can find some words about the album - would love to read it!
    March 1 01:01 PM
  • Sunnyvale Good to hear from you - hanging in there - hope you are too! Yeah, don't think the new Patterson Hood is quite as good as his previous one but it's quality. And yep, last three years or so I've been in a reviewing groove - starting to slow down this year for sure though, haha. PS - new Havukruunu rips!
    February 28 04:56 PM
  • SlothcoreSam I'm going through my 2024 albums, and the inner you need to put on the top of your list is the new Dopamines.
    December 5 12:42 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You will dig the new Ebolagoldfish album, it's like top tier Alkaline Trio
    November 25 11:50 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah, I'm working through my 2024 backlog, I haven't had anywhere near as much time this year, with our second kid coming. Have to think of a different strategy for next year
    November 15 04:38 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Nice, it has a really good back end to it, the just 5 tracks are amazing. The band I'm digging at the moment is crazy good Squee-Squee, they call themselves s***gaze, I guess it's like lo-fi emo hardcore shoegaze. It's different but you will like it. Also check Aren't We Amphibians a new band
    November 15 04:02 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Working Halloween night, good luck with that. I just took my son for his first trick or treat, had a blast
    November 1 03:17 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah They Dopamines is great melodic pop punk. Yummy, you might dig the new Floral Tattoo, if you in the mood for dinner genre boundary pushing emo. Also don't forget to check Mikey's band Wasted Space
    October 29 07:14 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Dopamines album out tomorrow for you, is fire.
    October 18 03:06 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Did you catch any of the NOFX shows. I watched them all, they were pretty tight for NOFX, Fletcher due did ruin dinner guests at the end of the decline
    October 17 07:02 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah you will love Ceres, their first album was fantastic, and the one before this was great also. Just a notch below Smith Street band for best Aussie emo.
    October 4 05:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Nice, I'm going to watch Saturday's show with some friends, so that will be fun, I saw them earlier in the year over 2 nights in Brisbane and they put on a great show, ending with The z decline
    October 4 05:08 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Also, are you going to live stream NOFX last shows this weekend. 3 nights in a row, I'm gonna do it.
    October 4 02:48 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Being alive is a start, if you ever need a chat you can reach out. You're gonna love some of these albums, start with Ceres.
    October 4 12:05 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey hope you are going ok. New Ceres this week, album of the year for sure!
    October 3 03:57 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, hows it going? You checked the new Wasted Space yet. Also need Cliffdiver and Johnny Foreigner are excellent
    September 24 03:59 PM
  • DrGonzo1937 alright man, my band has just dropped a new record and one of the tracks (renegade) has nathanael larochette on it, if you're interest to jam.https://despicableband.bandcamp.com/album/ad-bc
    September 20 05:25 AM
  • SlothcoreSam You need to put the new Wasted Space at the top of your list. Probably my AOTY so far, Sput user Madrigal outdid herself
    September 12 09:27 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey, hope everything improves in your life, let me know if you need to chat about anything. There's a acoustic version of SLS Clean Up Crew out tomorrow, and some new Ceres to check.
    September 4 11:54 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Or if you want some quieter indie punk, check the female fronted band Queen of Jeans new album. Kinda has Great Grandpa vibes
    August 20 11:33 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah man, check the new Ogbert the Nerd. Got that 2010s pop punk vibe.
    August 20 05:12 PM
  • Hawks I feel it for sure bro. Being an adult blows lmao. Ily and glad to hear from you!!
    August 9 05:38 PM
  • Hawks Miss you!!!
    August 8 06:42 PM
  • DungeonBoy haha no worries man, yeah I saw it said Atari as the author of that page. Hope you're doing well dude!
    August 7 09:16 PM
  • DungeonBoy Hey dude! Gameofmetal and I just dropped a sick death metal split on Iconoclasm Conquest Records! https://iconoclasmconquest.bandcamp.com/album/acrid-tomb-tomb-of-annihilation-hermetic-invocations . Would you be able to add it to the weekly releases list, it just came out today? Also, and a big ask here, would you maybe want to review it if you had any interest in it and have the time? If not no worries at all!
    August 6 07:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam No not yet, I'll give it a spin and see where it sticks.
    July 8 09:33 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Chaser, is some tasty NUFAN throwback skate Punk
    July 3 02:39 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah man, Hot Mulligan are killing it!
    July 2 04:17 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New MakeWar is at least an instant 4.
    June 27 08:24 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, it's sitting on a 4.2 now, but might go up again. Was 4.3 initially. The other new album I'm digging is Strelitzia -Winter. Some really good mathy emo for when your are in the mood for that.
    June 4 05:52 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Riley! Album could be the best punk album to come out this year
    June 2 11:59 PM
  • Dewinged Tx for the rec Atari! I'll give it a proper check!
    May 7 11:02 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Oolong album out now, if you need some fun mathy punk.
    April 25 04:44 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, it seems pointless, hoping it's a joke EP, and they have one final album that will actually be new material.
    April 19 03:05 PM
  • Slex Yeah ya gotta hit that Aaron West, you will love it! Hope yr good bud, I'll think of some more recs for ya
    April 16 01:18 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Aaron West is his best yet
    April 13 02:31 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Check Atrocity Solution- Lost Remedies, gotta be top 3 Crack Rock Steady albums ever.
    March 19 01:22 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Mannequin Pussy is their best yet. Great mix of poppy indie punk and straight up hardcore
    March 2 03:58 AM
  • Sunnyvale Yeah, I don't exactly love them but they're very solid. Think this new album is a bit better than the last one!
    February 29 03:26 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It's some wicked reggae aiiiii
    February 14 05:30 PM
  • Ryus good to hear man, i think its a really special album because its appealing to a lot of people but at the same time its idiosyncratic and unique. and super emotionally affecting as well ofc
    February 9 02:31 AM
  • neekafat definitely will be doing a deeper dive (: a little worried tho bc my track record with pop-punk isn't so great!!
    February 1 08:52 PM
  • neekafat fireworks is soooooo good thank you for covering it and bringing it to my attention (:
    February 1 01:06 AM
  • Mongi123 Yo man glad you?re discovering Hammock. The only stuff I?d try last is probably their ambient albums. Maybe Tomorrow, and they went on an Ambient streak with Mysterium-Elsewhere but anything else is postrock/shoegaze/dream pop at its peak :) don?t sleep on the bonus tracks for Chasing After Shadows as well!
    January 25 05:48 PM
  • theBoneyKing Will keep those all well in mind!
    January 3 06:02 PM
  • theBoneyKing I will get there! I want to hear at least a couple other of their releases first though - checking Human was largely an experiment for death metal in general so I actually plan to move backwards to some of their earlier stuff before I go forward more. Would love any other recs in the genre though!
    December 30 05:59 PM
  • Hawks Hell yeah bro, slayz ahrd. Sorry for the late response. Lot going on this past week lol.
    December 21 02:13 AM
  • Hawks Will jam tonight bro!!!
    December 12 08:50 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, no need to stress, I'm just sharing what I think you might enjoy. I'll have a list up pretty soon, there will be a heap more there you will love as well.
    November 28 08:42 PM
  • SlothcoreSam I found an excellent 90s punk band, d.b.s. Never heard of them until the other day, and just binged their back catalogue. Very Solid. Tales From The Crib, is their best, check it when you need your 90s punk fix.
    November 26 11:04 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Speaking of recs, you should enjoy Mudhead - Create and Destroy. Some melodic hardcore punk.
    November 21 04:54 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol, I can't remember, too many good recs this year. But yeah, COOKED is gonna be in my top 10 for the year. I'm trying to finalise my rankings, still have 500 albums saved on my playlist for this year that I haven't gotten to.
    November 21 04:51 PM
  • SlothcoreSam This British band's album is so good, one of the best this year. Toodles and the Hectic Pity - Hold Onto Happiness With Both Hands
    November 16 11:03 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Remember that dead Alright EP, it was actually some of their songs from an album that got released last month. Very solid.
    November 14 12:36 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah that one snuck up on me, it's better than their last album. I'm not digging There Will Be Fireworks new one, not sure what the hypes about. Sounds like a boring version of Gang of Youths.
    November 3 07:01 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Just found a great new Spanish Love Songs clone, really good emo. Arms reach - sugar hollow
    November 2 09:58 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Glad you dig, it is definitely unique and full of surprises.
    October 25 11:35 PM
  • budgie sealemonmusic . bandcamp.com/album/stop-at-nothing
    October 21 08:39 PM
  • insomniac15 Haha thanks. I can't believe I haven't listened to MxPx until this year. I've been going through their discography and I really enjoy Find a Way Home!
    October 21 08:13 AM
  • JesperL thank you i'm sorry isn't really clicking for me unfortunately. new sun june album is out today tho, it's rly nice and i feel like you might dig it too!
    October 20 01:30 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Clowns out tomorrow, it's metal as **** for a punk album. You need to check it for sure, pure energy
    October 19 08:27 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Free Throw out tomorrow, a lot better than the new Menzingers
    October 12 07:40 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Haven't you checked out Fat Mike - strung Out, yet. Classical strong renditions of NOFX tracks
    October 5 03:12 PM
  • JesperL it's so good!! they rly took everything that worked about their sound and one upped it, so happy abt that
    October 2 07:28 PM
  • bighubbabuddha Good user, you've earned a choc chip cookie
    October 1 05:53 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hell yeah, you should do it with a review.
    September 30 03:32 PM
  • SlothcoreSam There are lots of good albums out this week. Thank You, I'm Sorry - Growing in Strange Places, has some great lyrics again. Equipment- Alt. Account, have delivered some tasty pop punk, and Luca Brasi- They Don't Owe You Anything, have put out another classic Aussie Emo record. That is just 3 of them.
    September 29 04:10 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah I know, I'm trying to get the hype train going. Also don't forget about the proper EP, and hers another new one you might dig. Back From Nothing - Perception of a Silhouette
    September 28 03:14 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Hell yeah man, the whole album is full of bangers, it's what I've always wanted from them since I saw them live back in 2018 I think.
    September 27 05:36 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Sincere Engineer is so good
    September 23 01:47 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Also their is a new Proper. EP out tomorrow, I'm listening now, and it's ****ing fire.
    September 7 05:03 PM
  • SlothcoreSam When you get a chance check the new song by The Pretty Littles - Force. Then check their albums. https://youtu.be/EiariOF9jMM?si=aKg_3tmdcH5wspmG
    August 31 01:56 AM
  • Jots : ] thx man, new album coming out this friday, excited to share
    August 26 09:18 PM
  • Jots Lol I?ll be in touch with my legal team
    August 24 01:01 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah I'm pumped, we are in Alaska at the moment, will be perfect for salmon fishing
    August 24 04:25 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Stop teasing!
    August 16 05:13 PM
  • SlothcoreSam There is also a new proper. track that is very unique, they have a new EP coming
    August 15 04:07 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Wait, you have the whole album a week early. You better be reviewing it then. Pumped for it to come out. Three new Menzingers tracks are also awesome.
    August 15 02:03 PM
  • DrGonzo1937 no worries man. hope you enjoy it.
    August 8 01:56 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah I've been getting nostalgic too, catching up on albums I've forgotten about. Here's a classic. American Steel - Rouge's March. It might get bumped to a 5.
    August 4 02:16 AM
  • SlothcoreSam That's a band I haven't thought of in a while, I think I even own their debut album on CD, I'll have to spin it again. Thanks for the reminder. You should check I Farm- Is Lying to be Popular. From 2003, I had to enter it in the database, but it's some solid melodic hardcore/pop punk with some thrashy guitars. Kinda like good Riddance
    August 2 09:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Sweet, checking now, not long until the album is out.
    August 2 03:54 PM
  • DrGonzo1937 I know you?re a big fan of musk ox, so thought I?d give ya a heads up if you are interested. Did an interview with Nathanael for his new album.https://www.sputnikmusic.com/blog/2023/07/28/interview-nathan-larochette-agalloch-musk-ox-night-watch/
    July 29 04:08 AM
  • DaveyBoy Glad to see you're still kicking on here and spreading the good word. I hope you are also doing well and got through those Covid years as intact as possible.
    July 28 08:27 AM
  • DaveyBoy Hey mate. Yeah, I still pop in from time to time... Although, I must have missed your message, so sorry about that. One thing is for certain; My memory is going, as I had to familiarise myself with who Versus The World were. I've seen them live FFS. I'll be honest, I don't listen to much new music these days. Mostly throw on live gigs on YouTube or listen to old stuff... probably more a time thing than anything else, but also just trying to enjoy it first and foremost.
    July 28 08:27 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Got one for ya. Skating Polly - Chaos County Line. It's female fronted Indie punk. Super poppy vocals, but fun musically.
    June 24 03:25 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Yes Yes a Thousand Times Yes, is very good. Strong Emo week
    June 23 05:56 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Home is Where, is exceptional.
    June 17 02:29 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Don't forget to check Melvinator, it's a blast!
    June 11 11:59 PM
  • Sunnyvale Yeah, it's a beautiful album (based on one listen, so far). Hard to say where it ranks but seems to be one of the better records in a (very good) discog.
    June 9 08:29 PM
  • Sunnyvale Thanks! Making my way through the whole disog in advance of the new one. Looking forward to your review!
    June 9 02:11 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It sucked, way too poppy. Their last album was pretty good too.
    June 2 02:53 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah it's very solid, think a lot of people would be into it. Also the new Rancid is very solid. Some great tasks, and some forgettable ones. Probably the best we can ask for at this stage of their career
    June 1 06:05 PM
  • JesperL i will most likely be seeing emily scott robinson and hot mulligan on the same day in september and you are probably the only other person in the world that understands my excitement for this hahaha
    May 31 06:54 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Massive Wonder Years vibes on that Versus the World, with a little Alkaline Trio. It's good stuff.
    May 26 09:57 PM
  • SlothcoreSam I added Verses the World to my playlist yesterday, but have not listened yet.
    May 26 02:57 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You checked out Melvinator yet? It's hilariously great.
    May 26 02:57 AM
  • SlothcoreSam News SLS is catchy as, but not as good as the new Wonder Years, best song they've done. It's one that got lost in a hard drive.
    May 20 11:37 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh s***, will get on it, thanks for the heads up. I didn't love their covers EP, but a new album will be on top off my anticipation list
    May 18 01:20 AM
  • Sowing Check out YC's Twitter. I don't think this is a drill. Something is happening...
    May 15 08:59 PM
  • Voivod Mystras are awesome indeed, their second album is even better, and they will start recording a new one this year.
    May 10 04:23 AM
  • budgie check the new long beard single, so good. called posters
    May 7 07:20 PM
  • budgie i haven't, i will check it soon, thank you !
    May 7 07:18 PM
  • SlothcoreSam If you need some new melodic hardcore to get you pumped. Check the new one by COOKED - The Hanged Man
    May 5 03:26 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh, I gotta listen to that again, haven't thought about them in years. I loved A Thousand Surfaces when it came out.
    April 25 04:04 PM
  • SlothcoreSam The new list is up. At least 5 on there for ya.
    April 25 04:50 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Got a new one for you. Brutal Youth- Rebuilding Year. It is Melodic Hardcore out of Toronto. Got Good Riddance vibes
    April 24 02:35 PM
  • SlothcoreSam It was gonna go up on my weekly list, probably tomorrow, and was going to direct it to you. It's like a cross between PUP and The Dirty Nil
    April 22 04:13 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah I listened to and out come the Wolves straight after. Classic album
    April 20 10:55 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Thought it was pretty good, their best in a while. Hopefully signs of a good album to come.
    April 20 10:23 PM
  • Sunnyvale Yeah, that's what I'm feeling too. If I get a flash of inspiration, I'll write something up for it, but not sure if that will happen.
    April 18 01:53 PM
  • Sunnyvale Cheers! Would you like to review it? It needs a writeup but I'm struggling with finding the right angle to write about it.
    April 17 04:52 PM
  • SlothcoreSam I hear ya, I've got 6 weeks of 50 plus hour weeks at the hospital at the moment, luckily I get some listening time in between patients.
    April 11 10:38 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You tried the new Frenzal yet? It's a lot of fun, but not quite as good as Smoko
    April 11 04:11 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You gonna like the new EP by Swear Jar. It's some tasty melodic hardcore pop punk.
    April 4 12:37 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, it wasn't their best effort. Got sine great tracks on there, but overall a little stale. I'm waiting the new Frenzal next week.
    March 30 03:03 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You checked the new one by Codefendants yet? It's Get Dead (Fat Wreck band) and hip hop. I think Fat Mike produced it.
    March 28 12:08 AM
  • frigyourgenre Perverted monks r in da hous
    March 25 01:06 PM
  • JesperL i swear i am!! nothing mindblowing but just refreshingly fun stuff from them :]
    March 24 03:49 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Thought it was Yoga, but it was Ketamine. This is catchy af, bet you will be singing it by the end. https://youtu.be/i5yT_wGiXVM
    March 23 05:41 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Check the new EP by Dead Alright - Dust Falls, great 90s skate punk vibes.
    March 19 12:18 AM
  • Manatea No I still need to check it! I?ll listen to it probably tomorrow. Excited. Loved Spill so I imagine it?s pretty good.
    March 17 06:26 AM
  • Deathconscious Hey! Yeah i still check in now and then. For sure, ill give it a go, thanks for the rec.
    March 17 01:39 AM
  • ToSmokMuzyki ( ?° ?? ?°)
    March 15 04:52 PM
  • JesperL finally got around to that thanks! i hate it record, good stuff! the vox are a bit too much for me at times but the album's a blast for sure
    March 15 10:42 AM
  • mynameischan Will do! Thank you
    March 7 09:35 PM
  • Trifolium Yeah that mix is very tastefully done, noticed that too! This might be one of their best LPs, Half Age might be my fave record by them overall.
    March 6 10:12 PM
  • Trifolium Haha, nice! Liked them both, always happy with new Weval and parts of that Orbital one were really lovely. Looking forward to spending more time with them!
    March 6 09:23 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh cool, Gonna check on drive, we're on holidays.
    March 6 12:31 AM
  • JesperL hahah thank you thank you! and yeah soul blind are top tier grungegaze fast food, that new distressor record is in the same boat (if a bit more on the gaze side of things)!
    March 2 06:17 PM
  • JesperL medication rules!! they're at their v best in that sweet midtempo haha. not sure i can think of enough to say to justify a review tbf: 'it's really good and really short' kinda covers it haha!
    March 2 04:58 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah, it's good, they made it sound a little more modern. I don't think I've ever listened to one of their albums, will have to check.
    March 1 01:48 AM
  • SlothcoreSam New Frenzal out in April, the first single is great. https://youtu.be/0gHZuJxsBLg
    February 15 01:35 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yo, check my latest list, might be some familiar albums there.
    February 9 06:23 PM

  • SlothcoreSam Some good melodic skate punk you will love. From Parts Unknown - Bad Haircuts
    February 1 04:34 PM
  • Parallels Thanks man, always nice to see a classic username back on the site as well
    January 30 07:31 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Lol,I've been on it this month. You should check Total Downer. Great Power Pop.
    January 29 01:34 PM
  • SlothcoreSam You ever listen to 88 Fingers Louie? The remastered version of Back on the Streets, is as good as any Fat Wreck punk from the 90s.
    January 27 03:56 AM
  • SlothcoreSam The new Palette Knife is better than new Raging Nathans. Big surprise for me.

  • Maniac! Hey Atari. I know we haven't talked in like a decade on here haha, but I was going through old messages and was reminded that you had some interest in that Media Snobs website I had going years ago. I brought it back this past year and was wondering if you were still interested in a place to write about other things outside of music/sput?
    January 10 03:56 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Nah, still just one little one, he is 11 months old and full of life.
    January 9 04:13 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Shift Meal EP is pretty great 3 or if 4 songs are excellent. I'm trying a weekly listening log this year, so check it for any recs. The other band you will like this week was Swiss Army Wife.
    January 9 03:22 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah it is weird originally the new album had a release date of Nov 2022, they also released a B-sides album last year. It is hard to keep up with them, they just pump out the singles. I am not as excited as I was last album, it could be a case of quantity over quality, hope they prove me wrong. There is a new Tired Radio song out today that is pretty good.
    January 6 04:32 PM
  • Rowan5215 hell yes. I don't know if it's better than OCL yet but it's goddamn good stuff. great start to the year!
    January 4 12:39 AM
  • Rowan5215 this new Fireworks album is ****ing wild and I'm two songs in. what is happening
    January 3 02:00 PM
  • SlothcoreSam lol, it wasn't bad, just not what i expected. Sounded more like an indie album, with one post hardcore song as the opener. It will probably grow on me.
    January 2 05:41 PM
  • Calc My daughter just turned 4 a few weeks ago awwww
    January 2 06:37 AM
  • Calc life's great my friend. a lot of good change. I had a buddy move over your way to work at the VA right when all the winter storms happened yall ok?
    January 1 09:09 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Also, you might like the new album by These New South Whales - TNSW, it's polished garage punk out of Australia, think Royal Headache, but with post punk vocals.
    January 1 04:04 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I didn't listen to much punk from 2000-2011, got some catching up to do
    January 1 03:45 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I do not know Fireworks, but will check the album tomorrow, then go back
    January 1 03:37 AM
  • SlothcoreSam Just finished then.
    December 24 05:01 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey thanks Atari! I hope you and your family have a good one too. It has been minus 40 here all week, so been working through my year end list. Should have it up in the next couple of days.
    December 24 04:16 AM
  • Jom It's mostly to avoid spoilers, but as more and more writers do their year-end lists (or have lists that are year-end adjacent), it becomes, I suppose, a silly thing to avoid.
    December 8 11:41 PM
  • Jom Same boat! I have a lot of overlap with Rowan and Asleep this year, but of course there's the usual "circles stacked on top of one another" Venn diagram with Chan, Willie, Sowing, Dewi, etc. I might have to write up an 'Expansion Pass' blog of one-offs because there are albums I thought people would dig but they're MIA (one example: the Disillusion that dropped last month).
    December 6 01:16 AM
  • Jom Checking in to see how much overlap we might have this year. Hope all is good in your neighbourhood in the meantime!
    December 5 01:16 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah I thought it would just be a throw together of leftover tracks, which it kinda is, but there are some really good songs on there, even a cool Ska song with hefe singing
    December 1 09:06 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New NOFX has some great tracks on it
    December 1 07:01 PM
  • Willie I checked it out and I like it. I have to say I didn't hear much in the way of LagWagon, but I heard a lot of "Keep Them Confused" style No Use For a Name.
    November 29 01:41 PM
  • Willie I didn't even know they released a new album. I've added it my playlist. What I really need is another Bad Astronaut release.
    November 28 08:15 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New Smithies album tomorrow!!!!!! Get hyped
    November 24 07:27 PM
  • InfernalDeity Let me know what you think!
    November 22 08:01 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Yeah, Sunliner are great, massive Flatliners vibes.
    November 22 04:52 PM
  • InfernalDeity Check out Black Blood by Abduction I think you'll like it quite a bit
    November 21 11:58 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Hey, hope you recovering quickly. Here is some great skate punk from this year to make you feel better. A Vulture Wake - One.Kindom.Animal. It is their 2 EPs from this year combined.
    November 13 03:58 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Got a great debut album for you that just came out. Sunliner- Sunliner
    November 5 01:53 AM
  • Sowing I enjoyed it! It's a little on the bluegrassy side for my liking which I now recall was why I didn't really keep with the band, but it's very solid and the fact that Jeff Tweedy produced it means that it'll probably grow (like literally every Wilco album I've ever heard, lol).
    October 30 12:55 AM
  • theBoneyKing Yeah that's fair, I'm kind of trying to focus on my 2022 backlog at this point though Honey Harper will get a lots of spins this weekend and I need to try the new Emily Scott Robinson EP as well.
    October 28 10:04 PM
  • theBoneyKing I'm pretty sure I've caught part of their set at like 3 different festivals but never was intrigued enough to try their albums tbh.
    October 28 09:51 PM
  • Sowing Oh nice! I have heard at least one of their records before -- can't remember what it was called offhand but it was the one with the deer on the front. I remember liking them but thinking they could be better. But a rec from you goes a long way so I'll check it as soon as I'm done processing the new Honey Harper!
    October 28 05:16 PM
  • SlothcoreSam There are a couple of other decent punk albums out this week. The new College Radio- Nothing Ever Changes It Only Gets Worse, is top draw pop punk, and also new Nightmarathons and Martha, both have some great moments.
    October 28 03:25 PM
  • SlothcoreSam New melodic Punk album out tomorrow by Rest Easy - Hope You're Okay. It is really good.
    October 27 04:28 PM
  • SlothcoreSam Oh yeah, Groundhog Day is great, hopefully they keep it up. Wasn't the biggest fan of their last album.
    October 26 09:08 PM
  • Rowan5215 hahah she's a queen! I got 6 in and it really heats up around there, excited to see how the last few play out. Ends was good, I'll die on this hill
    October 18 02:40 AM
  • Rowan5215 q liking Midnight Club so far, heather langenkamp rules in it
    October 17 01:09 PM
  • Rowan5215 i honestly enjoyed it, i'm literally the only person on the internet i've seen who did lol. its wayyy better than kills at least
    October 15 04:35 AM
  • Rowan5215 yeah I've heard it's probably his weakest but still pretty good, people like to exaggerate everything like that lol. Midnight Mass is hard to follow! I'll probably watch it next week, this weekend's for Halloween Ends
    October 14 02:44 AM
  • Rowan5215 haven't even started it, too much stuff going on rn lol. i usually likw everything Flanagan makes so I'm sure I'll like this too
    October 11 01:31 PM
  • SlothcoreSam https://youtu.be/JWujvHJb1bw been playing some of these too my boy, puts him to sleep
    October 7 04:44 AM
  • SlothcoreSam I've also heard that they have enough material for another album next year. So not sure what is going on.
