What's New in Review : Week of May 7, 2023





Bad Crime - Demo
Released: May 8, 2023
Label: Self-released

We've entered into the era of "Bad" bands and Bad Crime came armed to the teeth with punchy bops and slick riffs. The three song demo features fresh takes on a beloved pop-punk cadence, like a lost treasure pulled from the heaps of the Mutant Pop Records vault in that it's familiar but with enough signature style to set it apart from generations of replicates. No strangers to the style nor amateurs of the trade, this is Midwest pop punk, the best its been since the Teens.

Check Out: "Wasted"



Indeyevid - Biting the Fork
Released: May 13, 2023
Label: Self-released

Skirting the line between saccharine and silica gel, Indeyevid meld a cacophonous dissonance into driving force of unabashed emotion. Quick and biting, sharp and bursting with gang vocals, you can't help but get swept up in their heat. 

Check Out: "Just a Bad Dream"



Fushojiki - Atypical EP
Released: May 8, 2023

Fushojiki SHREDS. Unapologetic, unrelenting, and ever focused, this EP is a lesson in thrashing, crashing, and taking what's old and reshaping it into the new new hardcore.

Check Out: "Edu-Cash-It"


ExWhite - This Is Future
Released: May 11, 2023

Germany is having a great year for punk. Channeling both the ghost of Jay Reatard and the wit of street smart brats on the run, ExWhite dares you to venture beyond the threshold of the garage and enter their world of excitement, panic, and fury. Was really hard to nail down a favorite track here as the band knows how to play to their strengths -- unraveling genre restricting norms and focusing on fun and frenzy foremost.

Check Out: "Eternity"
