I would say this is super listenable Political Punk, but I hate the idea that great bands with normal ideas like equality for everyone are âpoliticalâ when really itâs everyone else who is being boring as hell while upholding the status quo. Lambrini Girls are way too musically wild and way too fun to be tied down to all these words anyways. Even better lyrics than Idles and I really like Idles. I know itâs not a competition but if it wasâŠ.Take a deep dive into their interviews on YOUTUBE. You will not regret it.

I stumbled upon Idles a few years ago and initially couldnât stand them. Their sound is very specific. Theyâre rowdy. Theyâre all over the place. Theyâre a wonderful anomaly in the music realm.
I liked this snippet from The Rolling Stonesâ review of their album, âDescribing the warm, fuzzy optimism of an Idles record requires only the most pretentious adjectives â ebullience, exultation, jubilation â words that Idles frontman Joe Talbot would likely laugh at heartily before offering a pint to anyone who said them.â
Itâs an album you can dance to, fight to, protest against police brutality to, celebrate the end of the British monarchy to â itâs resistance music if resistance music was played by good looking tattooed guys who occassionally wear dresses. I enjoy the songs Dancer (done with LCD Soundsystem) and Grace the most, but Gift Horse makes me want to riot in the streets and Pop Pop Pop needs a dance remix asap.
Enjoy it. And if you dislike it, youâre wrong. Thanks.

This ten song record from 2023 is already an underground classic. Is it surfy new wave punk? Punky Disco? Whatever it is ITâS FUCKING GREAT. Lira Mondal is the vocalist I want to hear everyday singing every song. The obvious musical comparison might be Pylon, but thereâs also a poppy Romeo Void vibe that Iâm fully addicted to. The best record of this year and it came out last year! hahaha!

hammy nation rise up, theyâve done it again. i really respect that theyve consistently put out music thatâs untouched by trends, especially within the emo/pop punk/whatever scene. ericâs lyrics on these ones are especially biting i love it. great follow up to their last album, i canât wait for more!
if you havenât checked out heart attack man, you haaaave to if youâre a fan of punk pop/rock in the last 20 years. itâs like. pop punk written by hardcore guys. their live shows are amazing too, the energy from the band and crowd is always raw fun. iâm a real big fan especially of their last album freak of nature, but my fave is their ep thoughtz & prayerz

Iâm a sucker for complicated yet repetitive percussion, single note guitar riffs and great singing so this is kinda like the perfect storm for me. Thereâs a track called âsingingâ where Fabi Reyna talks about how she didnât want to sing because she thought it would take away from her as a guitarist. I AM SO GLAD SHE GOT OVER THAT!!! Her voice is gorgeous, smooth in a Sade kinda way but even more intimate. Like youâre sitting on the couch while sheâs singing in the same room! Iâm absolutely desperate to hear these songs live.

Like a great musical compilation that features a ton of different styles. From fiction by Honeychild Coleman and Hanif Abdurraqib to several great Roundtable Discussions called âNo Whites on the Micâ that cover topics like how to start a DIY collective, whatâs happening in the punk scene NOW and self care. I came for the great writing and the bands but came back again to fully enjoy the amazing comics and photos. This is one of those must have books like âBanned in DCâ and âShotgun Seamstress; The Complete Zine Collectionâ.
