Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Angry punk guys playing hard rock. Like someone coming from a hc punk background but evolved and built through the years, playing something more well-crafted today but keeping that punk zest. Especially the singer, I can hear him biting into the mic.
This fits in the row with Mustasch and Motorjesus in the sense that it’s also hard rock and some heavy metal in a blender. I couldn’t name any specific thing why this record should be any standout but still I find myself listening to it repeatedly. These guys sound like those friendly rock and roll dudes, not overpolished, down to earth, honest, just from that next room in the rehearsal place.
(After listening to some album I ended up in this Nordic rock listening spree and still processing the new finds from there.)
Stoner rock with some heavy metal spice in the mix. I love this style that comes out of it. It’s a hard rock banger, would love to see them live.
Carpenter just keeps going, I am in awe. I love these records.
That rare indie record that I get hooked on.
Indie punk.
I am generally not a fan of UK alternative rock and indie, but the DIY nature of this record I just find charming.
Goth aesthetics, shoegazing dream pop.
Last year my number one music was Unto Others – Strength, and now I’m listening to their first album, wanted to make an entry for this, too. I consider their second record the better one, but they are pretty close, this first one is also amazing. I’m still trying to crack why I am so much obsessed with this band’s music. They share some DNA with an old Hungarian goth rock band, F.O.System, which is also one of my all-time favorite bands, so that may play a part.
The vocals sound like witch house but in rock, it’s eerie and soft but also smooth and comforting. Otherwise it’s overall dark rock with an amazing atmosphere. It’s hard to put my finger on it, like I’m trying to slap a genre label on it, but it’s really not about the genre but the mood.
I also wanted to put the follow-up record here instead of this EP, but this just kills so hard, and it is not replicated on the full-length unfortunately. Fuck unfortunately though, thanks for these four tracks.
