Weekly Winners, 4/25/212 - 5/1/21

 So this was a pretty big release week for two very specific genres but I’ll be brutally honest I was not feeling either of them. A lot of my interests were in singles and they didn’t disappoint! My album of the year artist returns this week, Spiritbox drops the first teaser to their new album, Attack Attack! is listenable again… you know what… see you below!



Origami Angel - Gami Gang (Counter Intuitive Records)

In a week where, like I said, I was anticipating a lot of singles and not really excited about the big albums I was kinda going through the motions of listening to a lot of releases. When I got to this I couldn’t believe how much fun I was having and how fast an hour passed. This is like the memes about what midwestern is come to life but make the songs unironically good. Have a feeling I’ll have this on rotation.



Action/Adventure - Pulling Focus (Pure Noise Records)

Pretty… standard pop punk but hey it’s really fun! Give it a shot!



Attack Attack! - Brachuya Bombshell (Oxide Records)

I have tried so hard to not talk about the Attack Attack! situation on the blog side of things but maybe I will soon? In the meantime this single is… not the greatest thing I’ve ever heard but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. Decent riff, pretty catchy and it’s actually a crabcore song.



BD LCK - Professor Oak

New beat to correspond with New Pokemon Snap and it has a nice, relaxing, nostalgic sound and goes quite nicely with the vibe of the game.



Galleons - Playing with Fire is Such a Cliche (Famined Records)

Literally only including this to remind you to listen to the Galleons singles thus far. Each one is incredible and this is no exception and the album is only a couple of weeks away now. Still expecting it to be album of the year.



Spiritbox - Circle with Me (Rise Records)

If you listen to any single this week, any song to be honest, make it this one. Spiritbox is absolutely killing it right now and is becoming the best band in the scene by a mile.



Waterparks - You’d be Paranoid Too (If Everyone Was Out to Get You) (300 Entertainment)

I have not been feeling the Waterparks hype over the past couple of years but with these last two singles they’ve really won me over I think. “Numb” as well as this track are so catchy, so fun they’ve both been in regular rotation.


Other Tracks:

Billie Eilish - Your Power (Darkroom / Interscope)

Dir En Grey - Oboro (FIREWALL DIV.)

Drug Church - Tawny (Pure Noise Records)

Full Tac / Lil Mariko / Rico Nasty - SIMP (Sony Music)

Hiatus Kaiyote - Red Room (Brainfeeder)

House & Home - Empty Handed (Open Your Ears Records)

Jessie Ware - Please (Universal Music)

The Kid LAROI - WITHOUT YOU (feat. Miley Cyrus, Columbia Records)

The Maine - THNKS FR TH MMRS (Fall Out Boy cover, Photo Finish Records / 8123)

Mannequin Pussy - Perfect (Epitaph)

SeeYouSpaceCowboy… - Painting A Clear Picture from a Unreliable Narrator (Pure Noise Records)

Stand Atlantic - deathwish (feat. nothing,nowhere. Hopeless Records)

Still Woozy - Kenny (Interscope)

Best of Month: The top 25 songs of the year

Hi, it’s me, it’s Claudia, and today I’m going to do something I haven’t done yet. So every year I do the top ten singles of the year, but I don’t actually even listen to singles anymore. Unless I know they’re going to be singles, like on their own, otherwise I feel like they’re spoiling the record for me. This year I thought it’d be fun to broadcast my top twenty-five songs of the year because I do this every year for friends, mainly myself, but now it can be content. So, this won’t be a highly produced blog post and instead be very casual but hopefully you’ll get something out of it. If you’re coming from Reddit read the link below before leaving any comments for me on here or Reddit itself and let’s get started. Also, quick note. Some of these did not come out this year but are on records released this year. In those cases, assume I haven't heard the track till this year. Coming from Reddit? Start here! #25 “Glow in the Dark” by Mothica is from Rocksmith+ but it's also just

Best of Month; the Top 10 Albums of 2023

2023 has come to a close and it was a lot to unpack. After relocating last year I had to figure out what to do next, admittedly a scarier process than moving itself. I’ve settled in now, changes have gone on, there were a lot of hard times and a lot of great memories made throughout the year. You may have noticed, if you’re a long-time reader, I was far less open about my own personal life in my reviews. If you’re new and this is your first year here, then hey you never knew this part of the blog. In these blurbs there are personal anecdotes, but they are far less revealing. Regardless, thank you for even clicking here. This year for my own writing was possibly the best yet. I reviewed more albums in one year than ever before and worked with ten artists to promote their stuff before the release date. If all the stars align there’s one more thing coming out this year. I hope you had a great year yourself, are having a relaxing holiday season and enjoy this recap of albums. Please suppor

Best of Month: The final reviews of the year

Image
Best of Month! We wrote so many reviews this year there were a ton leftover. So, to open the year end stuff this year, we're emptying the vault. There are a few pre-requisites for reading this year (but only if you came from Reddit) So look for that below. From Reddit? Start here! Rat Jesu - Prepared to Die (Drixxo Lords) I have been a pretty public cybergrind defender on the timeline, but in all honesty I haven’t dug into the genre on my own time. I’m not sure if you would consider Rat Jesu cybergrind but they’re definitely part of the movement, in fact I came to this record by following this artist from a feature on the newest Blind Equation. As I said above, Prepared to Die isn’t so much cybergrind but it is a neat, quick nu metal record with hyperpop influence. James from Blind Equation does show up as a feature and the song he’s on is a hit regardless of genre. My favorite track on the record, however, has got to be “Priestess of the Godless Valley,” There are two other featur
