Listen to Jockstrap. It’s made up of Georgia Ellery (also in Black Country New Road) and Taylor Skye, and they go sooo hard. Georgia is the voice and plays multiple instruments while Taylor is more on the production side. I went to their Pitchfork Aftershow in Chicago last year and I have never had so much fun at a concert. Taylor sits onstage and literally just deejays the whole time (which is not a jab at him, he is a genius). Georgia sings, plays instruments, and performs for her LIFE. It’s a must listen, must see, must know.
Here are some of my favorites of theirs;
- City Hell
- Glasglow
- Sexy 2
- 50/50 (Extended Mix)
- Hayley

They're a British duo who have this really interesting indie-rock-shoegaze-grungey sound that is super magnetic to listen to. Severely underrated imo. Their songs "Another Life" and "Dead, Again" from their 2020 album Hyper Romance, are some of my favourites!

truly one of the best bands i know. lyrics kick ass, and the contrast between the lead vocalist's angelic voice and the lyrics always gets me. FUNNY ASS BAND NAME, their drummer is insanely good, cannot recommend them enough if u like 90's riot grrrl music (tho they are more generally 90's punk rock adjacent)

*Highlight Tracks: “63 skies”/“eight ball”/“sex benefits.5”
*Genre: Shoe-gaze/Noise Rock/Drum and Bass
*One of my favorite live albums. It offers a rawer take on some Tagabow songs, and these live versions often feel lot moodier (in the best way possible). It also includes the delightful electronic interludes featured in between songs during their live sets. This record just really displays They are Gutting a Body of Water’s excellence and further solidifies them as one of the most interesting shoe-gaze acts today.
*“63 skies” pummels you into the ground and leaves your chest caved in…I love it so much.

I’m not a mother and to be completely transparent I don’t really want to be one ever. Something struck me so deep in my poetry class last semester that probably pushed me farther into not wanting children, poetry about motherhood. It must be my knack for empathy and passion that connects me so hard to these poems, who knows. I really really love these poems. ‘Metaphors’ by Sylvia Plath and ‘the mother’ by Gwendolyn Brooks, to name a few. There was an especially hard hitting one about being a stay at home mother, but it’s escaping me in the moment. If I remember it I will come back to this. I have an inkling that fellow women in their 20s may relate to this, and if not I would recommend going down a rabbit hole. It’s existential but who doesn’t love that?
