Dogsbody – Model/Actriz ★★★½
Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2023 Dogsbody Model/Actriz ★★★½ 78 Rock Noise Rock Post Punk Model/Actriz’s 37 minute debut record Dogsbody is dense both musically and lyrically. It’s a cool (and cold) industrial, post punk record with some sick, dancy grooves, manic, thrashing energy and a lot of tense, uncomfortable moments. The noise rockContinue reading “Dogsbody – Model/Actriz ★★★½”

Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2022 Skinty Fia Fontaines D.C. ★★★★ 86 Rock Alternative Rock Post Punk Four years ago, Fontaines D.C. popped into an aggressive Irish post-punk scene with a slightly more youthful, lighthearted take on the genre.

Drunk Tank Pink – SHAME ★★★★
Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2021 Drunk Tank Pink SHAME ★★★★ 87 Rock Alternative Rock Post Punk Shame’s 2018 debut Songs of Praise was my second favorite punk album of the 2010s, behind Idles’ Joy as an Act of Resistance.

Deathconsciousness – Have a Nice Life ★★★½
Year Album Artist Stars Score Genre 2008 Deathconsciousness Have a Nice Life ★★★½ 77 Rock Shoegaze Post Punk Deathconsciousness is an atmospheric, muddy, desperate feeling record that draws from the dark, post-punk sounds of Joy Division, the heavy, slowcore plodding of Low, the drawn-out post-rock creativity of Slint and the haunting noise-rock production of earlyContinue reading “Deathconsciousness – Have a Nice Life ★★★½”
