A note from this shelf

Where punk refusal meets existential dread: Coma Beach's I Won't Listen cuts like shards of broken glass — four violent jolts of punk rock refusal and post-punk gloom — while The Scapegoat's Agony: Edits, Odds & Ends resurrects their Beckett-fueled debut in a raw, fractured odyssey of punk-driven despair and dark wit. Lenny and the D smash indie rock with wall-of-sound harmonies and groovy self-awareness, while Taste Lips' Gravedigger delivers upbeat post-punk attitude. Jordi Farreras' La libreta verde transforms a found notebook into an immersive art rock narrative, and The Temporanians bring space-inspired modern rock for the misfits and beautiful weirdos.
