“A tune based on an erotic short story of the same name, about a beautiful lizard shapeshifter who feeds on unsuspecting truckers looking for a good time.”
Raging against the digital and the existential: I Ya Toyah's Closer transforms Nine Inch Nails' iconic track into a haunting industrial-cinematic meditation on validation and lost identity, while PAHL!'s Digital Oblivion blends icy 90s electro-industrial with dark-pop to ask "what remains of us when everything turns digital?" Coma Beach's A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending fuses punk's feral bite with post-punk's cold precision, steeped in Beckett and Schopenhauer. Jacob's Fall's Lost In Silence channels melancholy, inner struggle and dark atmospheric rock into something intensely elegiac, while John Titor's Time Machine's It's Time to Bounce, Amigo! keeps it proggy, industrial, groovy and crass — a punk odyssey shaped by Pixies and DAF.

“Honesty Doesn't Pay is the debut album of Boston/NYC-based art rock project Supermarket Parking Lot, spanning 11 tracks of heartbreak, anxiety, rumination, and acceptance.”
