Hook-addicted and gloriously loud: Baby Combat delivers fuzzy, hook-led guitar songs with nervous energy and a scrappy post-punk edge across a brilliant double album, while Red Cavalry writhes with infectious jangly indie-pop energy and McCarthy-style lyrical agitation on Popaganda.

Danila Kozyrev rounds things out with a psychedelic and catchy ride through 60s and 80s influences.
