“Original Double CD-length version of 2024's Heatstroke Alley”
Confrontation, resistance, and refusal to be controlled: I Ya Toyah's FEELINGS is a hard-edged industrial statement that turns the mirror on modern humanity and doesn't look away, while Apology blurs the line between justified pain and entitlement with crushing riffs and hypnotic industrial grooves. Montreal's The City Gates' Chimera unfolds like a nocturnal landscape — brooding post-punk rhythms meeting shimmering shoegaze walls of sound. Coma Beach's Passion/Bliss closes their Beckett-fueled triptych in a five-track fever dream caught between punk abrasion and post-punk hallucination, and som som's safe space offers lo-fi but lush introspection on loss, moss, and coming to terms with yourself.
“A cover of the classic song by Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen, recorded as a surprise bonus track for Stress Dolls' debut album, Queen of No.”
