“Our fourth foray into a world of contained emotions and hijacked happiness. Never stop observing and being outraged, resist!”
Screaming from emo's raw, restless core: Superdestroyer's NCTV Vol. 2 tears into addiction and love-hate relationships with riffs and synths for fans of Anamanaguchi and Jeff Rosenstock. Start-Track's Start the Track: Vol. IX compiles indie gems with half the proceeds going to Slovak homeless charity Vagus, alongside their Sampler 2023 celebrating a great first year. The Darts' Hoping for a Green Miracle brims with isolation and emotion, while their Nailguns and Daggers goes darker and more desolate, and This Year Is a Gay Autumn's demo rounds things out with raw bedroom skramz energy.
“Our fourth foray into a world of contained emotions and hijacked happiness. Never stop observing and being outraged, resist!”
“As if the angry music you listened to in high school grew up and started listening to NPR”
““Release You is a haunting electro-sufi anthem that turns pain and struggle into a hypnotic call for liberation and dance.””
“A 'truly unhinged' collection of B-sides and covers left on the cutting room floor of DeMello's 2022 crossover pop LP 'Confetti in a Coalmine'.”
“It’s the sound of someone working through their own story in real time, and inviting you to do the same.”
“A love song about being close to another person, yet it still not feeling like enough - for fans of Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie.”
