“a stadium rock anthem slow burn of quiet anger exploding into cathartic euphoria”
Plugged in and raw: Murder Hornets' Shakes rattles loose, loosely inspired by media manipulation expose "Trust Me I'm Lying," while Daniel Chavez Crook's GOD CHANNEL chronicles a journey through trying times — hoping to heal. Djembe Funk's Free Palestine is a love letter to concert promoters with a blunt message: stop being dumb. Zayyan's Whimsically Frolicking turns anxiety into an album, and Libel's The Accumulation of Things bends genres from synth-pop to guitar theatrics across ten sharp tracks.
“A set of guitar driven hard rock jams, a live version of 'Left Behind' from R2024A, and a Vince Guaraldi inspired jazz track.”
“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.”
“Critics have compared its sound to a mix of Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, and the Pet Shop Boys.”
