Last Week in Review -- Week of April 23, 2023

 



BEEBOMB - demo

Released: April 23, 2023
Label: Self-Released

Welcome back to the age of British twee! This is an adorable rough debut from the queercore trio of Horsham. Their sound stirs up nostalgia for the sound of early Donnas and Bratmobile, that carefree, snotty, light and loud sound. It's refreshing to hear girls get out of the bedroom and find their grit back in the basement.

HEXO - へ​く​そ​e​.​p.
                                                       Released: April 23, 2023
                                                                         Label: Self-Released

Japanese punks HEXO's latest EP is a wild mix of party punk styles -- think Pinhead Gunpowder on too many energy drinks, Bo Lobar sans weed, the Dopamines on pixie stix. High energy and lightning fast, riffy and righteous, these are the kind of tracks that make you wish you could shred a rail or two.

 Möney- PUNK Demo
Released: April 28, 2023

Granada's Möney shine a light upon the devils we know best: our culture's inability to welcome new ideas thus relying on the familiarity of the old.  Spooky, ethereal, dance worthy and groovy, but you may find yourself looking over your shoulder a bit panicked of what else may appear out of the dark.                              

Listen to: "La Culpa"



High & Dry - dream job b/w stay with me
Released: April 28, 2023
Label: Self-Released

For those who want the feeling of going to Fest without having to travel to Florida, High & Dry's latest release captures that feeling good but retrospective euphoria that only sticking to a beer soaked floor and singing along with your friends could bring. Mid-tempo, harmonic, and not overly produced, I'm interested to hear what other tricks these Boston blokes have up their musical sleeves. Props given where due for writing the Eartha Kitt quote "I don't dream of labor" into a punk chorus before I had the chance to first!
