Stream Seoul Hardcore Punk Band Slant’s Fast And Furious New Three-Song Demo
Very few bands on the planet make revved-up, anthemic old-school hardcore punk as well as Seoul’s Slant. Slant’s style is fast and frantic, but it’s also catchy. The riffs hit hard, and bandleader Yeji has one of the best rabid-weasel screams out there. In 2021, Slant released their full-length debut 1집, and it was one […]

Stream TV Star’s Surprise New TV3 EP
The members of the Seattle band TV Star have played ferocious punk in groups like Regional Justice Center and Militarie Gun, but that’s not what they’re doing in their new group. Instead, TV Star’s sound is a driving, shimmering take on psychedelic rock. The band brings ’60s garage-rock shimmy and ’90s alt-rock hooks, and their […]
The Callous Daoboys – “Waco Jesus”
Last year, Atlanta’s Callous Daoboys released Celebrity Therapist, a wild, adventurous album of moth-damaged metalcore and scremo. In its frantic, giddy, expressiveness, the record sounded less like a product of the present-day post-hardcore underground, as fertile as that world can be, and more like the kind of thing that an experimental ’90s band like Mr. […]
