PROTOMARTYR 

De amerikanske postpunkere Protomartyr er til oktober klar med deres 3. album på blot tre år. Bandet nøler ikke, og den intensitet og fart, hvormed der udgives albums, er meget sigende for bandets lyd.

"three albums in three years, each more extraordinary and rewarding than the last. This music is inherently, unassumingly high stakes. This October marks the release of The Agent Intellect, their third and finest work to date. Named after an ancient philosophical questioning of how the mind operates in relation to the self, it’s an elegant and often devastating display of all that makes Protomartyr so vital and singularly visceral an outfit"

Skrevet om deres forrige album ‘Under Color Of Official Right’ (2014): 

"The hooks are diverse in mood—dark, subtle, playful—but just as cohesive and powerful as they were on their first outing." - Pitchfork

"Joe Casey sings every line like he's the drunkest guy in the bar, fighting to keep on his feet for one more round." - Rolling Stone

MEAT WAVE 

Ud af Chicagos indierockscene kommer Meat Wave. I september udkommer deres længe ventede album 'Delusion Moon' på SideOneDummy, som har placeret bandet lige midt i mediernes søgelys. 

"Meat Wave are the masters of—to coin a phrase here—seizure rock. (...) if the video for the title track is any indicator, they are still intent of disorienting you to all hell." - Noisey

Meat Wave's lyd drager paralleller til Hot Snakes, Jesus Lizard og Naked Raygun.
