… have arrived from handstand records, so let’s get straight to it:
pembroke – all the brightest pictures LP
With an impressive pedigree of NYC veteran musicians, PEMBROKE’s energetic debut is brimming with melodic punk riffs, galloping hardcore, mosh-inducing breakdowns, a tightly wound rhythm section, and a pinch of DC post-hardcore flavor.
lmi – failed to feel it LP
The trio forge a unique sound combining elements of punk, post-hardcore, and stoner metal to create a chaotic onslaught of riffs and harsh vocals to annihilate your eardrums.
go white bronco – population ghost town LP (restock, don’t sleep on this!)
very likely the final restock of this nine track debut full length which is a mostly bleak, sometimes triumphant existential meditation led by three acoustic guitars, crushing lyrics, and soaring multi-part harmonies
kissed by an animal – I don’t have to explain myself to you LP
Moving through tight, clean, hard-punk, masterly into acid surfer, vibrating-melodic power-metal, Kissed by An Animal is through and through a New York band with grit, love, and party turned to Maximum Krank.
