I Play My Bass Loud by Gina Birch
Genre: Dub Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ If you don’t know Birch is rock’n’roll royalty google it. I’m not here to judge this record more favorably even though she’s a god. Or because she’s old. Or because she’s a woman and a feminist. I don’t give a fuck about it any of that becauseContinue reading “I Play My Bass Loud by Gina Birch”

It’s astonishing that something so seemingly out of theirContinue reading “The Whitey Album by Ciccone Youth (Sonic Youth)”

2E by OFFICINE
https://idealrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/2e Genre: Post Punk Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp March 28, 2022 2E is an aggressive, noisy, post punk rock record. The bandcamp tags include “no wave” but since the original, and, I suppose, only no wave scene was so artistically fragmented it’s hard to say what from today would actually have to be rootedContinue reading “2E by OFFICINE”
