Mr. P. Reviews Dope Music
Burning Hag Release New Single: “Hot Katana” off their EP, Ugly!
Philadelphia femme power trio mix sludge, metal and punk into their own grimy kick ass song, “Hot Katana”. This reminds me of a mix of The Cut-Rate Druggists and Antagonizör which is to say I fucking love it.
DAFFODILDOS Release New Single: “No Pride”
This is a fucking dope first single, and I can’t wait to hear what else they release!
Ritmo Lokura Release New Single: “Maria”
I was immediately hit with the Latin fusion in this rad as fuck ska band.
Whippets Release New Single: “Splinter”
The Whippets are back with a new single, “Splinter”, off their new self-titled LP released by No Coast Records. Similar to the last song I reviewed, “Ice”, this new song spans so many influences that it is hard to pin down genre-wise or comparison wise.
Something Wicked Release Two Singles: “Stop Reproducing” and “Electric” ahead of their full length release on 4/26!
In the last month of so, Something Wicked has released to dope ass singles: “Stop Reproducing” and “Electric”, and if these two tracks are any indication, then their forthcoming album, Deceased, set to release on 4/26 is going to be a banger!
Che Arthur Releases New Single: “Sliver”
Some of you may know Che Arthur from their time in Pink Avalanche or Atomicpocketknife, if so when you listen to their new single, “Sliver”, you’ll recognize that distinct timber that is characteristic of their voice, but it will be accompanied by music that is more aggressive and posthardcore than in previous projects.
Edging Release New Single: “Fuck You Sir”
There is so much I love about Edging. I am totally down with their protopunk art school saxophone laden sonic experience.
Loaf Releases New Single: “Headaches”
It’s always dope to get sent a song by a band that I’ve played with.
Resting B!tch Face Release New Album: “Sounds Gay, I’m In”
Just the name of the band, Resting B!tch Face, and the name of the album, Sounds Gay, I’m in made me so want to love this. Luckily from the moment I hit play, I was fucking loving every damn second of this album. This protest queercore at it’s best.
Human Dinosaur Machine Releases New Single: “Goonbox”
“Goonbox” is another fucking killer tune by Human Dinosaur Machine! I fucking loved their last single “Ventilator” and this one is no less of a banger!
pink suits Release New Single: “C.O.F.F.E.E.”
I reviewed an earlier pink suits single, “Refuse the Rules”, a little while back, so I was stoked to receive this new single.
Scooped Up Release New Single: “Slingshot”
This is another solid angsty pop punk song about the troubles of being alive.
Never Say Never Releases New Single: “Nothing”
How to describe Never Say Never’s new song, “Nothing”…hmmm. Musically there is a lot happening there that mixes grunge, metal, punk and hardcore into one giant cathartic angry mass of fuck. Don’t get me wrong fuck is good. Very good.
Proud House of Schmucks Releases New Single: “On Strike”
I really dug Proud of of Schmucks last release, “Manic”, that I reviewed back in October, so I was stoked to get sent their new release, “On Strike”!
Mr. Max Releases New Single: “Semi-Pro”
Mr. Max mixes punk, grunge and garage rock into something both new and familiar.
Shower Days Releases New Single: “Walk Away”
I don’t normally do reviews for one man bands where they play everything. They just don’t normally have the feel of full band where people play off each other and connect together to make something unique, but something about this song just worked for me.
Jersey Calling Releases New Album: Parasocial Security
Jersey Calling has released their new album Parasocial Security on all digital streaming platforms on 11/1/2023, and despite being from Jersey, it’s a kick ass collection of pop punk rockage! (Just kidding—Jersey’s okay…”if you like saxophones”!). Okay enough of me making with the jokes lets get to the review:
Tornādo Tornädo Release New Single: “Splinter Alone”
As you all know if you read my blog, I’m picky about my pop punk. Whether it’s the clapping in the middle or just the vocal delivery that reminds me a little of Atom and His Package, but this band made my pop punk cut.
Pkew Pkew Pkew Release New Single “Farside Bathroom”!
I have so many questions. The minute I heard the title about the a “Farside Bathoom” I was taken back to my favorite comic strip next to Calvin and Hobbes i.e. The Farside. So was this song about reading The Farside in the bathroom? If so, I could 1000% relate. As the song plays, I realize the the Farside is a place with a bathroom covered with comics, if the image on their social media is accurate, there is an old G.I. Joe comic in there which is perfect for a band named Pkew Pkew Pkew. (On a side note, I had to dig out my old G.I. Joe vs. Transformers where G.I. Joe killed Bumblebee who later returned as Goldbug—ah memories).
Greed Culture Releases New Single Off of Death of Us EP!
Greed Culture may be the Death of Us, but if this new single, “Breakthrough Sight”, is any indication of the what to expect on from their new EP, then it may also bring us new life.
