Trans-Hardcore from Montreal. Do not confuse The Not(QC) with Nots(TN) from Memphis, different bands.
Nots don't have a "The" &
The Not doesn't have an "s".
How have I gotten two confusing double name bands in a row?

Beer 2 (KENTUCKY) - "Ha Ha Ha" (2026)

False Negative (ILLINOIS) - "All Over But The Shouting" (2026)
Sounds like a 1985 Hardcore band. A year which was not a great year for Hardcore, but they sound like a GOOD Hardcore band from that year. So maybe Poison Idea or something?

Absolute Garbage (NEW YORK) - "Now We're Cookin'" (2025)
Obnoxious Dumb-Fuck Garage-Punk. I mean that in a positive way. Proof that there are still good bands in NYC. Came out in November.

Mid-tempo Garage-Punk from Rye(where's that?). I'd write more, but See/Saw's write up of this record is so good that I'd just be ripping off Evan w whatever I said. See, this is why I generally write my stuff before I read his stuff.

My 1st thought was "They better b pretty damn good if they're naming their record after Italian band Raw Power(who themselves were named after the Stooges)." And then I pressed play,& YES, this Dublin Garage-Hardcore band is good enough to use that name.

Puke Pisstols (MASSACHUSETTS) - "The Lost Recordings" (2026)
This one is in dire need of some liner notes. Are they from Boston? Maybe, I dunno. Are these old recordings from a defunct band? Maybe, I dunno. Possible Fake-Punk? Maybe, I dunno
Garage-Stomp Scuzz-Punk

Gary & The Shearstons (AUSTRALIA) - demo 2025
Cloud-Of-Tape-Hiss Garage-Punk. Are the drums digital? I can't tell, it's too loud. Came out in November, but we missed it.

Post Community (MARYLAND) - "Cranberry" (2026)
The other songs on this are more slow-churn, delay-vocal post-punk, but this specific song I've linked is the short, fast ripper of the bunch. A guy from Nag is in this, I guess?

Damaged Youth (TAMPA) - "Blood For Oil" (2026)
Yup, a song that could've been written today, or at any point in the last 40 years.

Rejecter (JAPAN) - "Rotten Ideology" (2026)
Very loud from Fukushima. If you need an example of what Noise-Core is, this is the band for you. Watch your brain processing power grind to a halt trying to discern the melody.
Raw D-Beat

Bungee Jumpers (ILLINOIS) - "Not Today" (2026)
Good-Fun Lady-Vocal Garage-Punk from Chicago. Kinda a Rondelles sound, if you remember them. On tour this month(dates in the comments).

Spaghetti Sluts (FRANCE) - "N10" (2025)
LOL, when did I ever follow a band named "The Spaghetti Sluts"? Thank you, Past-Clint, you've got some good taste.
Hardcore w maybe hints into Post-Hardcore. There's arpeggios, I'm saying.

Ace Of Spit (MISSOURI) - "Broadway Babylon" (2025)
Classic Punk-Garage. Sounds like they'd be on a split w The Mullens or Sons of Hercules. Some surfiness and dare I say it, kind of a mature sound.

PCR from South Korea. Dee Dee Ramone haircuts, leather jackets, noisy, shouty vocals...and a violin. That's a lot of things all at once.

Uranium Club from Minnesota. They're either super late-era Weird-Punk or super early-era Egg-Punk. Crazy that they've been a band for over a decade now.
