FÅGELLE: Kroppen
Slowly you are embraced by fragility and blackness in a shady piece that feels so physically close that it takes a while to finish but I love it. FÅGELLE, FEAT. THÅSTRÖM – Kroppen
THE ROUTES: Lead Lined Clouds
Beautiful straight garage rock that with feeling and great drive makes us dig and shake as if half were enough, but it’s no good, it’s fantastic. THE ROUTES: – No Good
CHIVVY: Reign
Like a soundscape of synths and atmospheric guitars where dreams and imagination battle with reality over who rules, but it’s the band. CHIVVY – Reign
REHASH: PANIK In Dem Bauhaus
We hereby warn of doom vibes in the underworld on the way up with nice grinding post-punk that chews on and we with them. REHASH – Das Bauhaus
PUCK: Cottonmouth
Bass-influenced piece with spoken word-ish singing before it breaks loose and it’s time to shake it off until calm sets in and then it’s time to rock again. PUCK – Cottonmouth
MONONEGATIVES: New Exit In Shards
Unpredictably inventive and energetic post-punk rock that, with a high-speed ending, can make anyone freak out in a glorious ugly dance. MONONEGATIVES – Second Shelf
TRUST FUND: Late Nite Skate
Indie pop with a soft singer-songwriter style takes us on a journey that cuts through the ice with its lovely track under the nocturnal January moonlight. TRUST FUND – Late Nite Skate
TEEVEE REPAIRMAN: Bus Stop
Really delicious power-poppy garage punk that immediately gets stuck in your head and stays there until the bus comes, but preferably longer. TEEVEE REPAIRMAN – Bus Stop
NAG: Human Coward Coyote
A dystopian intro sets the tone and their hard post-punk does the rest and even if they repeat the chorus they don’t need to nag, I believe in them, they’re great. NAG – Crisis Of Faith
JAD FAIR: Fate Is On Our Side
My destiny is not decided yet. In other words; I will listen to this great buzzing guitar, the voice, and the rumbling rhythm. And of course the cheer squad. JAD FAIR, SAMUEL LOCKE WARD – Fate Is On Our Side
