Bratmoblie are pirneers when it comes to the Riot grrl genre, their debut "Pottymouth" is a classic. After breaking up in the mid 90s the band reunited and realised this project, and while it still carries the energy of the progenitor it simply doesn't reach the same peaks. A majority of the songs sound much more samey, having narrowed the scope in terms of sound since their last realise this album sounds more refined but looses some charm in the process. The surf rock infilance is ... read more
A little known album that deserves much more attention. Emerging in the era of Zamrock this album is a really fun combination of psych rock, psychedelica, blues rock, and everything else lovable about late 60s/ early 70s rock. While my knowledge on this topic is very limited I belive there's also a lot of infulance from the local folk/regional music.
The songs on here are entrancing, with my favorite track "You Don't Know me" is almost reminiscent of krautrock with its repetitious ... read more
Some of my favorite queer music provocateurs. Busting on the scene of 90s queercore, Tribe 8 stands out for their satire drenched songs about issues and tropes revenant in the queer community to this day. their sound is full of energy and attitide, still steeped in the hardcore punk sound but catchy riffs still manage to shine theough even in darker songs.
Personal standouts include Femme Bitch top, What?, and Neanderthal Dyke.
This sounds...breathtaking.. What about this is so moving?
Even from the first few seconds, it sounds like the manifestation of heaven on earth. I'm not even that focused on production, as long as it fits the vibe, but this is just undeniable, this is the best produced album out there. You can't even say that it's a product of the time because this came out the same year as OK Computer, Homogenic, F♯ A♯ ∞, The Velvet Rope, Homework, 宇宙 日本 世田谷 and Portishead, all of ... read more
A collection of 5 songs, an ep mot even 10 minutes long, but still manages to leave a lasting impression on the listener. With the hsrdcore punk sound backing up aggressive screaming vocals this ep is an assault on the senses in the best way possible.
The band is explicitly trans and the songs are about the queer experience, dealing with the misfortunes brought upon queer people by turning around and standing up to all the injustices. The intro of the first track is a fitting summation of the ... read more
