Weak? What!? The Body / Big Brave Boy Scouts Dying Wish Frontierer Full of Hell Girlhouse Illuminati Hotties Kitner Shad Superdestroyer Touché Amoré And this is before I even deep dive into everything else that's out today.
At the very least I've got to imagine you've at least heard of Full of Hell (probably not your thing), Illuminati Hotties (I think you'll dig it) and Touche Amore (it's demos of their album from last year).
Better than the band itself heheh, they have TGUK, Replacements and oso oso mentioned in their album bio, whereas Bright Eyes was the closest call ;D
Touche Amore might be there for just today, I'm not sure, but with Phoebe I think that's usually the case, she takes it down after the bandcamp friday ends, so:
Just listened. It’s not too bad. Kinda reminds me of Forever The Sickest Kids and adjacent bands from around the early/mid 2000s. I like “Tap Tapply” quite a bit!
A lot of heavy releases this week. Frontierer Full of Hell Dying Wish Frontierer Bilmuri Did I mention Frontierer??! (If you're a fan of bands like Vein, Dillinger Escape Plan, or Car Bomb or absolute chaos) ...
I haven't heard of the majority of these bands and musicians either, including Illuminati Hotties. So don't feel bad hah. As far as actual new album releases go, I've heard of EITS and that's about it But really excited to listen to that. The only stuff on my Release Radar that was worth listening to were just some singles from All Get Out and Mansions.

Illuminati Hotties and Hovvdy for me today, really stoked on both of these records. Also, my band Overgrow dropped the first single from our upcoming LP today! Would mean the world if you checked it out.
For Full of Hell the name is all you really need to know. It's a pretty accurate description. As an alternative, imagine an audio-only nightmare.
I don’t think I have anything today — just a bunch of singles I’ll probably check Hotties and Strand of Oaks and see if these albums resonate with me any more than their past material and lurk here to see if there’s anything in the indie/alt pop or indie folk space I’m missing
