dang — people making beautiful things makes me so happy haha

Another musician I’ve always geeked out over, Sweet Dave. This is one of his earlier projects, Our Father. Tbh it’s not my fav, but I can’t find a copy of the EP with Snow Thunder, so this is as good as it gets. For those who don’t know of Dave, I feel bad for you

Second favourite Damian Abraham side-project. This band was crazy. Members of Fucked Up, Criminally Insane, Pink Eye, Millennial Reign, Ancient Shapes, Career Suicide, Alexisonfire, Dead Tired, Urban Blight, Attack In Black, etc. Wish they’d put something else out.

At this point in my life I was obsessed with Rob’s discography. Somehow I found his discogs account, and fanboyed the fuck out of him, and luckily I didn’t make him cringe too hard, because he sent me this and some Grids stuff. Anyways this slaps - NYC japanese hc worship

I couldn’t wax on any harder about how fucking much I love this band. Demon’s Claws are (were?) one of the most underrated garage rock bands out there. When I listen to this I’m on my bedroom floor in Toronto, its 2009, and I’m fucked on ketamine.

Some friends and I once got in an argument with these guys outside of Siesta Nouveau (RIP) because they non-ironically thought hardcore kids & metalheads shouldn’t mix. Can’t remember if they were all that good live? RIP Zero Progress tho

Nuclear Family was a fav at one point in my life. Girl-fronted power-pop adjacent post-punk? I don’t fucking know. Maybe ignore that. They had a member from Limp Wrist I think?
