At one point the review for our most anticipated release of 2025 clocked in at 666 words... but then we went and added more. Whoops? But what can we say, there's a lot to love on all things
Percepticide: The Death of Reality' from Chicago trio Pixel Grip before it releases this (6.13!) which you can read all about below! And if you dig what you hear, be sure to keep an eye out for when PG comes to your town this Fall on their recently announced headline run (We'll be catching them at Middle East Restaurant and Nightclub in October ourselves)!

If you happened to catch our annual new year preview post, you might’ve noticed that the top spot went to Chicago Electro/Darkwave/something trio Pixel Grip (And if you didn’t catch it, dive in right here). Now, at the time, we knew nothing about what would come to be known as Percepticide: The ...

Starting our day with the first of two Electro-tinged reviews (Which coincidentally both featuring Chicago-based outfits) as we dive into the newest from REPLICANT which drops this (6.13)! Read about all things and find all the links you need to pre-order and more when you click below:

This is one of the MANY times we get super excited for a new release, get an early copy of said new release, then squander the lead time for said new release until it’s (almost) too late. That’s not to say we’re not listening to said release incessantly, just more for leisure versus “work”...

We're 90% sure we'll be in attendance but you should 100% be sure that you're going to show up! Have you seen this line up????

There are a LOT of releases heading your way this Friday the 13th and we're trying to cover as many as we can like the new single from Lovina Falls called "Light and Low" which the band will celebrate that night (Again, 6.13) at Deep Cuts with support from The Daylilies & RoseR! Review of the new track plus all the links you need and more below:

Knyvet Knyvet Press Log

In only a relatively short time, we feel it’s safe to say that any new music announced from Lovina Falls is cause for celebration. We also feel it’s safe to say that on their latest single, “Light and Low”, Lovina Falls is having their own full circle moment by returning to the Dark Cabaret/...

We didn't mean to glaze for almost 800 words on all things ADULT CHILD, the newest solo release from Buick Audra, but here we are! Releasing this (6.13) on Trimming The Shield Records ahead of some solo dates starting with a show at The Basement Nashville that night is the latest from the Friendship Commanders singer/guitarist and it's easily a contender for the top spot in our 2025 year end list already! Read why in our below with links to where you can pre-order/pre-save your copy and more:

As it stands right now, we are already at war with ourselves regarding the RNRF end of the year best list… which is not only 6 months out from having to be finished but also neglecting all the other records still to come in 2025. The problem is there are about 4 or 5 records […]

We're pretty sure the bulk of what'll end up being our most favorite releases of the year are coming in June (Either actually released or early promo-wise) and the upcoming new LP from Greet Death is no exception! Dropping in a here-before-you-know-it 3 weeks (That's 6.27 for the non-math heads) is 'Die In Love' on Deathwish Inc. and today you can get some early words on all of it. Additionally, if you've liked the singles so far, will be hitting Royale on September 21st supporting Nation of Language. Words, links & more below:

We’ll be honest, while we like to think we have a pretty eclectic vinyl collection, we tend to not seek out rare stuff that often just because we’d rather own the physical product first, fancy stuff later. That said, we were legitimately DISTRESSED when we hopped on the Greet Death train followi...

Starting our day previewing the new LP from Tequila Sirens that arrives TOMORROW (6.6) which also happens to be the same day that TS plays Lilypad Inman with and Cameron Keiber (Still celebrating his Nurser solo LP!) and you can read all about that as well as what we thought about the upcoming 'Imposters' and more when you head below:

We’re obviously biased about the Boston Music Scene on the regular but, really, it’s the MA music scene as a whole that gives us all the warm and fuzzies on the regular. And it’s artists like Somerville’s Tequila Sirens who not only embody that statement with the kind of unique and nuanced m...

Ohhhhhh snap! Helluva way to start the day! New ONE FALL! Woot!

And another one?!?! We listened to the debut release from called "Good Girl" which is out now before a show at Ralph's Rock Diner THIS WEEKEND (6.7) with West Side Rats, Structure Sounds & Dead Wait! Words, links & more? Head below:

We’re not sure how we stumbled upon Boston/North Shore outfit Stop That Man but we’re glad that we did! Like a mixture of DIIV and Sonic Youth put through a Riot Grrrl filter, Stop That Man hold nothing back on debut single “Good Girl”. Elements of Shoegaze and NYC-driven Art Punk are preval...
