Yeah, Hop Along

Please enjoy the cool shit that makes me feel alive these past weeks.

Dizzyhead’s debut album is out now

Good job! Please buy this album cassette, they have a nice cover.

Please note: I’d love to review more on your album but I’m kinda broke right now and can’t afford buying it (I even haven’t got Much and Ache releases, total bummer right?). You know bitcoin market crashed and not to mention my company laid off most of their employees. OK. That’s too much information and now all the internet nerds prolly knew, I’m not only stupid music blogger but also broke and on the verge of becoming a deadbeat. Adulthood sucks, sorry for my sobs but you’re very nice.

Youth Avoiders

I just discovered Youth Avoiders. They are cool dudes from France playing the Reatards and Radioactivity at the same time and feeling like you got yelled by your boss. Yeah, when listen to their songs, the band is potentially gonna blow your head up. And you know what’s cool more? They’re gonna put new album this April and here is the single.

The Hypnic Jerks

Hailing from Chicago, this ramonescore via Riverdales/Queers band has done great job in my hear and head. And as far I concerned, they love to make loveable and honest song about the homosexuality theme.

Jamie 4 president

My pals in Malang occasionally sleep on this dudes songs. It’s seriously the most important review you need to know.

Hurry

Man, I want to marry this lovely chorus and my wedding will be this 23 February, officiate by Matt Scottoline the father of the chorus and on the next day, we will have big party with Amanda X and Worriers. See the invitation and the single below.

my wedding party with chorus from every little though

Bitzmika

Look, someone finally recognized this stupid blog. They shot me an email to introduce themselves and the latest EP Majestic Prince of Aljabr. That’s really nice email, completed with the subject, introduction words, press release kit etc, I appreciated it. Well, aside receiving some picture of three guys having good time or hangover, I listened to their EP. The music is sort of garage rock meets Link Wray or Dick Dale surfy stuff. I love this song called Set Fire to the Earth, it’s catchy, nice riffs, and nihilistic too. But, going with that band name and album title, also expressing curiosity making the bomb, I’m afraid they are under CIA and BIN radar right now instead of under the radar VICE Indonesia and Whiteboard Journal. If they’re hunted by the authority, it’s like our goddamn local version of NWA infamous tale. Cool, and those online publications can suck it!

Outtacontroller

These dudes from Halifax, Canada, are cool! They have one song about a leather jacket and it’s the cheap one. It’s like the the most valuable thing that we love to keep, right? Plus they sound a lot like Radioactivity and Marked Men, so they totally won.

Dismantle’s Strawberry Punks

One of the good things in 2018, especially from the listenable scene. But man, are they punks? That’s a very good question my friend. But listen, the answer is they are punks as fuck. It might be too punk for you and makes you dropping the spike bracelets, belt and jacket when blasting to this solid punk album right now. If you can’t deal if they’re punks, go find them and ask it. But better don’t do it, I bet they’re gonna give you the total disgusted look and call you fucking asshole. Just don’t, they are sick of you.

The Spook School

Would you like to listen to hard hitting indie pop who celebrates their existence by singing “FUCK YOU, I’m still alive? Of course you would, so here check them out.

Superchunk

Man oh man, new Superchunk is so sick. Can you also make me disappear every Monday before I kill everyone in sight?

Hop Along

New fucking Hop Along, holy fucking shit.

Mind Spiders

I only listen to the first two tracks of the album, fuck it, ALL HAIL MARK RYAN.

Nervous Dater

“The band equivalent of a cleaning product commercial when the grime gets wiped away to reveal pristine tile but we’re the dirty sponge and probably drunk.” Nothing is better to describe the band that I like. All of the songs bottom line: I’m just piece of shit, makes this whole album even more worthwhile.

Odd Robot

In a word, it’s like Alkaline Trio with less lyrics about macabre, dog shitting razorblades and spiteful phrase to your ex girlfriend or getting naked next to your girlfriend out of nowhere. Here we’re just talking about a cigarette and knife, what’s the deal?

Trophy Jump

The band has an album called Depression Club. They talk a lot of things on personal level on that album, including, sympathy for a gay friend, playing CTR on PS 1, beyblade stuff and April’s Fool Day that’s not really fun when you’re 21 years old. Also, if you’re kind of dudes who got semi-arousal when hearing NOFX riffing, go digging this great stuff and happy boner!
