I'm older than some of you for sure but not old enough to have seen Honor Role before they broke up in 1989. A metallic/post-hardcore take on the Southern pastoral, just mad rigorous and tense. The band's singer Bob Schick passed away a few weeks ago and I've been revisiting his body of work, which you can hear some of (along with a selection of farflung Albini recordings from other artists) here: https://www.mixcloud.com/mosurock/heathen-disco-show-377-1-june-2024/

Amidst the passing of Steve Albini yesterday Iām here to recommend one of my all time favorite bands, Brainiac. Criminally underrated and changed the way I thought about electronics and guitar music coinciding. The leader singer died at the height of their fame in car accident. Linked is the record he produced. RIP to 2 GOATS ā¤ļø

after seeing a post on the old instant gram, i had a memory of being incredibly fond of an artist called Spooky Black so i went to check out what happened to them and he changed his name to Corbin. i was worried they stopped making music, but it turns out they released something in 2025 - W

Obviously your mileage may vary based on your tolerance for hardcore punk, but if you're so inclined, this was their last show before going on hiatus for a few years. The raw energy in the room is unfathomable; skip to the last two minutes if you don't believe me.
That hiatus is when two side projects really started taking off, too. Justice (the vocalist) started pumping out Angel Du$t albums, and Brendan (the drummer) started to become much better-known for his band Turnstile... Astute viewers will notice Franz from Turnstile singing around 39 minutes into this set as well! This show, to me, feels like a big bang that sent those two bands hurtling towards the 2020s to redefine the genre.

it's fun, it's interesting, it's exploratory, I've done it for a very long time and am better at it than most (esp. that Pissed Jeans guy)
