0️⃣1️⃣ >> SPRINTS - Letter To Self

Dark, brooding and suspenseful, intense, blistering and explosive. Emotional, angry and fierce. Bloomin' magnificent. Helluva debut! 🔥

0️⃣2️⃣ >> DEADLETTER - Hysterical Strength

Bought based on the recommendation of @actionrecords.bsky.social head honcho, Gordon. Brilliant arty post-punk (haunted by the ghost of Theatre of Hate?). Beautiful, brutal and funky.

0️⃣3️⃣ >> The Cure - Songs Of A Lost World

Robert Smith's band of Goth (not Goth) miseries return after a long hiatus to wow the world with a superb new album. Easily their best since [insert your last fave Cure album here].

0️⃣4️⃣ >> Erotic Secrets Of Pompeii - Mondo Maleficum

Headonistic occultists, worshiping at the maleficent altar of rock n roll while leading their disciples to the Aeon of Horus. I am the evil one indeed!!

0️⃣5️⃣ >> Sahra Halgan - Hiddo Dhawr

Bit of a curve ball this one. The title translates as "Promote Culture" in the singers native Somalian language. As for the music.... Just wow, totally infectious!!

0️⃣6️⃣ >> Hauspoints - Eel Feeling

Art-rockin' post-punk for dancefloor kids and beard-strokin' audiophiles alike. Lyrics that make you think, scratch your head or laugh out loud in equal measure.

0️⃣7️⃣ >> British Birds - In Search Of Mr Rykyn

Combining 60s pastoral psych, a dash of Gomez and a splash of The Bees; this album still manages to sound original, new and fresh. Brilliant fun live too.

0️⃣8️⃣ >> Michael - Nite Salad

Packed full of doom-laden brain-liquifying punk noise that accompanies burroughsesque cut-up, Edward Lear on meth style lyrical genius. Play very loud!!!

0️⃣9️⃣ >> Plantoid - Terrapath

I took a punt on this based on the sleeve art and wasn't disappointed. A new twist on Gongesque jazzy prog-rock from a young Brighton based outfit. Incredible live!

1️⃣0️⃣ >> Fontaines DC - Romance

Destined for greatness. On their 4th album they've really stepped it up in terms of song writing and production although I do miss the youthful raw energy of their debut.

1️⃣1️⃣ >> Bob Vylan - Humble As The Sun

Another brilliant LP with a maturing sound. Lyrics still rapier sharp daggers to the establishment heart, but possibly lost some of the shock of earlier efforts.

1️⃣2️⃣ >> Hawklords - Relativity

Hawklords 11th album since reanimation in 2012 and for me it's their best!! Now just a trio, they still make powerful and exhilarating space-rock'n'roll with a punky edge.

1️⃣3️⃣ >> Gurriers - Come And See

Another exciting young Irish band making excellent post-punk noise. Rawer, more visceral than say the Fontaine's but also there's an intelligence that belies their years

1️⃣4️⃣ >> Amyl &The Sniffers - Cartoon Darkness

The antipodean punks really hit their stride on this album. Still, loud, raucous and irreverent for the most part, but also showing signs that their sound is steadily maturing.

1️⃣5️⃣ >> Thank - I Have A Physical Body That Can Be Harmed

Like their debut this is packed full of noisy, shouty & abrasive post-punk. Underneath the blood and thunder though lies plenty of funky art-rock and danceable groves.

1️⃣6️⃣ >> Big Special - Postindustrial Hometown Blues

Hard talking, street smart realism and dark humour are delivered over funky post punk beats or as straight-up gritty poetry. A compelling listen.

1️⃣7️⃣ >> Krom - Repeat

Dark gothic, synth laden psychedelic rock from Gothenburg's finest export. Dirty fuzzed-up bass and rumbling drums propel the swirling riffage. Out on @crackedankles.bsky.social records.

1️⃣8️⃣ >> Thee Alcoholics - Feedback

Thunderous cacophony of relentless noisy art-rock with squalls of feedback chucked in. Nice chilled listening for a hungover Sunday morning? Definitely not. Play loud.

1️⃣9️⃣ >> Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God

The antipodean troubadours return with their 18th album and it's a belter. A relatively upbeat effort as these things go, but still plenty of emotional drama!

2️⃣1️⃣ >> Ist Ist - Light A Bigger Fire

Another band putting a new spin on the gothic sounds of the early 80s post-punk - big tunes, driving bass, punchy synths and baritone vocals. Their 4th LP in 5 years and no dip in quality
