Pretty sure our coverage crushed it this last week; I think there was one day where we covered ten songs in a single day! But, I’m about to end my summer break, so don’t expect that too much more. Alas, we had album shout outs for Blood, Male Gays, Aaberg, True Optimist and Teenage Tom Petties. Some of my favorite acts returned to the fold, like the Smashing Times and Pop Filter…Young Scum had a new jam, but it’s not streaming yet. Big hits from Chimers, The Gabys and the Softies kept us busy…and always nice to have a Chime School tune too! Enjoy the streams of last week’s jams!

Felt like I overdosed a bit on pop this morning, so circling back to crank this Gouge Away tune all the way to 11. There’s definitely part of this tune that feels very current, particularly in the way the growl of the tune keeps coming back, never letting you breath as it pummels your ear over and over again. But, there’s something kind of late 90s post-hardcore about the songwriting too; it reminds. me of some of those early Pretty Girls Make Graves tunes where you’re struck by the abrasiveness, only to realize later that there are these huge hooks in the craft too. Once you invest in this tune, you can feel your body propelled to respond to the thundering momentum. If you dig, it’s on their latest LP, Deep Sage, a reminder of that powerhouse album that hit via Deathwish Inc.
