DEFEAT / REPEAT

This is sort of just by the numbers hardcore with a female singer, but it rips. Holler, the ep that this song and three others are from was one of my favorite releases of 2018.

MY BEAUTIFUL RUINS

I saw Sundowner like 5 or 6 years ago on the Revival Tour. It didn’t do it for me. To the piont that I fully wrote it/him off, despite being 1/3 of the Lawrence Arms (a band I like but don’t worship like so many seem to), and being the lead on my favorite Lawrence Arms songs. 

Some how Neon Fiction ended up on some Spotify playlist or something and it just grabbed me. I listened to it a lot, but as it often happens with basically infinite music to listen to, I kind of forgot about it.

My mom actually bought me a copy of Neon Fiction for my birthday last week, and I’ve been revisiting it. Still great.


LOBE

Jesus this is good. Spotted Horse is one of the best albums that came out last year. I ended a 6 month moratorium on buying vinyl for this thing.


FUMING MOUTH - TRANSFIGURATION

A few month ago I saw these guys open for Portrayal of Guilt, Jesus Piece and Harms Way, I only bought merch from Fuming Mouth. They were just amazing.

The shirt I bought with the Grand Descent art work on and their logo down the sleeve is probably my favorite band shirt I’ve bought in a long time.


LAST MAN

I should hate everything about this. Growled hardcore with double base and predicable mosh parts preformed by a bunch of muscled and tattooed hardcore jocks. Look at this asshole. The picture up there is the only one I could find with the singer wearing a shirt. Ugh. I bet there are so many spin kicks at their shows.

Trash.

But its doing it for me right now.

I hate myself.
