sugarwounds.bandcamp.com/album/luvgrub Some mindmelting grindgaze here on Sugar Wound's long-awaited return album LUVGRUB. The blend of speed, intensity and beauty here is really incredible - "Middle of the Night," in particular comes off as MBV pushing past jungle and gliding into grind.

evilisland.bandcamp.com/album/terraf... Chaos, sass, and catchiness are all a plenty on Terraform The Afterlife, the new album from Evil Island (3/5 of whom are ex-Blood Brothers). Retains that BB energy while adding super strong hooks and a new confidence to the strangled snotty vocals.

Saw Saidan, Trhä, Barbelith, and vvormking last night. Trhä and vvormking were relentless (Damian is an amazing guitarist!). While Saidan was unexpectedly subdued, Barbelith was the real revelation for me though - nicely melodic and really engaged with the audience. Here's a short clip of Trhä!

Oh lordy. Another 'my writing isn't political' dude? How do nominally intelligent people come out with this nonsense? Yes, I know. By having an identity & politics that perfectly align with their society's power structures. Frictionless comfort all the way. But really. Come the fuck on. 🙄
