They’re playing with snail mail so I guess I should check this out

 

Really great, there's such a resurgence and a bubbling scene in pockets of London right now. Really exciting to be around.

 

gnarly snotty british post-punk. i dig it.

 

Just to say this is out today and fucking great.

 

this is cool

 

Yeah I really like this. They are playing here with Protomartyr soon, should be a good one!

 

I spent the tube journey last night with this and it was the perfect soundtrack. I adore "Dust On Trial".

 

i’ll give this a run, why not

 

This is really cool.

 

Just listened to this album today and I love the battle between chaos and beauty. It reminds me of Gang of Four and modern bands like Fucked Up and Frameworks.

 

p good

 

Post-punk with a post-hardcore influence. I'm super into this.

 

That show will be so so good.

 

I love the loud, aggressive stuff on here a lot, but man, Angie is such a great closer.

 

So so so great. I absolutely adore this record. Really good start to the year, there's a few albums coming out from the "underground" in the UK that are gonna make my year.

 

The song is so bittersweet because it's beautiful but the subject matter runs so deep. It essentially about a girl named Angie that committed suicide.

"I'll see you soon
Up where you lie
Under the moon
Above the sky"

 

This is the album I didn’t know I needed.

A lot of bands have been orbiting this mix of influences but this is so refined damn.

 

enjoyed this a lot more than i anticipated. the vocalist is fantastic.

 

RELATABLE NOT DEBATABLE RELATABLE NOT DEBATABLE

 

This is good.

 

Disappear into nothing
And find your happy place

 

this is how it starts:

SO IN THE PAST WEEK I'VE MADE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE
GY-NO-COLOGIST
