Prince Daddy & The Hyena - Hotwire Trip Switch
71

Prince Daddy further diving into thier poppier side and it's resulted in what may be the most summery pop-punk of the year

Gorillaz - The Mountain
85

After being pretty underwhelmed by every Gorillaz project post comeback, this album reminded me what captivated me so much about this band in the past. A worthy successor to Plastic Beach. The Mountain is peak

Westside Cowboy - So Much Country 'Till We Get There
69

Seeping with potential, solid EP with an outstanding opening track. Excited to see where they go from here

Joyce Manor - I Used to Go to This Bar
58

Super mixed bag that feels too inconsistent for my liking. A few great stand outs that carry the album forward.

Spanish Love Songs - A Brief Intermission In The Flattening of Time
80

I should be upset that Spanish Love Songs are getting more synth infused since it is a far cry from the sound that made me fall in love with the band, but hot damn they haven't missed yet. After the incredible No Joy, Spanish Love Songs deliver 4 excellent tracks with great guest artists and emotionally poignent lyrics. Damn good EP.
Heaven Head is a contender for song of the year.

saturdays at your place - these things happen
74

Another strong showing from one of the best Midwest Emo bands out right now

Racing Mount Pleasant - Racing Mount Pleasant
93

Very strong AOTY contender. Combining some of that post-rock gravity with the occasional midwest emo twinkle is a very easy sell for me.

Hot Mulligan - The Sound a Body Makes When It's Still
79

Not quite as consistent as their previous works, but has some top tier Hot Mulli tracks.
Hot Mulligan simply can't miss right now.

Car Seat Headrest - The Scholars
70

A very confident outing from CSH. I can't deny that the bands newer work has failed to capture me the way that their early stuff does, but this is a really solid indie rock opera record.

PUP - Who Will Look After the Dogs?
65

Isn't as consistent as Morbid Stuff and the highs aren't as high as Unravelling, but PUP delivers a classic PUP album that fans of the band will be more than happy with.

Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong
75

The highs are so high, but the lows are... Alright too to be fair.

Michael Cera Palin - We Could Be Brave
60

Man I just wish the vocals weren't so buried in the mix

Student Slasher Film - IF/IF/NOT
70

Student Slasher Film have such well defined sound already, can't wait to see where they go from here

Origami Angel - Feeling Not Found
65

Solid, though a bit inconsistent.

Gaffa Tape Sandy - Hold my hand, God damn it
69

Catchy, punchy Punk music that while a little inconsistent, lands more often than not

Cloud District - Proof of Life
68

A very solid EP, Archimedes Death Ray is a must listen

The Wild - Set Ourselves Free
68

Deserves more love, especially for fans of Defiance, Ohio.

Camping In Alaska - please be nice
73

A classic 2010's Midwest Emo record

Radiator Hospital - Torch Song
65

Doesn't quite hit the highs of their previous record, but still very solid through and through
