You read the title and expect parody, maybe a yeehaw remix of a Reddit thread. What you get instead is something far more unexpected: a genuinely

Imagine Billy Idol is cryogenically frozen in a chrome sarcophagus beneath Camden Market sometime around 1987. Then, decades later, he’s thawed out in 2014 by accident during the recording of No Fixed Address, a.k.a. the Nickelback album where they briefly flirted with electronic music and accidentally made a synth-rock soundtrack for the apocalypse and ended

First and foremost, the riff is absolutely addicting. The tone is well-defined, and at first glance you would never guess what this song is actually about. “We Want Our Planet Back” by Chandra is the epitome of rock n’ roll, with the intention being uplifting and inspiring once you read between the lines. “Do you

This may be biased, but any song that has a great bassline that’s not overpowered by any other instrument wins by default. Hyporadar achieves just that with “This Ain’t The Day I Die”. With this track that has nothing but a beat and the mighty capabilities of the bass guitar, it somewhat emphasizes each component

By all conventional metrics: structure, genre cohesion, basic artistic restraint, Culinary Vendetta by Rubbish Party should not work. It is a deeply unserious concept delivered with unnerving sincerity. It is emotionally volatile music wrapped in what can only be described as an aesthetic best understood by those who’ve felt nostalgic grief over a dead Flash
