Civic – “Radiant Eye” & “Making Time” (The Creation Cover)
These days, there’s a whole lot of great guitar-rock coming out of Australia — be it hardcore or psych or post-punk or, um, AC/DC.

Nekra – "Esquire" & "Red Room"
As of now, the London hardcore band Nekra’s discography consists of a searing, righteously angry 2017 demo and a 2019 compilation one-off called “Dad.” In less than 10 minutes of music, they’ve established an identity: shouty and combative, blisteringly fast, in and out in well under two minutes. Next month they’ll add a proper EP […]
