i like this album

yeap they're great. single from another sure-to-be-great lp coming out on the same label https://soundcloud.com/nonegative/01-eternal_crypt

thank you for the last 2 posts. love both so hard.

Dickie Hammond the guitar player from Leatherface died apparently which is v sad. secret great British rock guitarist tbh

:-(

I used to know Dickie, very sad to hear this

lumpy on p4k >_<

these songs from the upcoming LIFE STINKS album sound really good https://soundcloud.com/s-srecords/sets/life-stinks-youll-never-make

one of them somehow reminds me of both Pavement and Oasis, the other two are more bozo noiserocky. guessing their name is a Rocket From The Tombs tribute

Is this where PC Worship goes? The new one, Basement Hysteria, is amazing.

https://pcworship.bandcamp.com/album/basement-hysteria-2

Where does Toronto's Dilly Dally go? Kinda Pixiesish with a female vocalist...A whole album is a bit too much for me, but I like em in doses. I saw a photo of them on the NPR TinY Desk Unit Instagram page, but nothing on ilx

this Seattle band So Pitted who have an album on Sub Pop early next year are really good. are they known outside of Seattle? or inside it, especially?

https://wreckagewithstick.bandcamp.com/

great new band

yeah the album does wear thin after awhile. they're definitely mining a consistent sound. i think i like "purple rage" the best.

big fan of Uranium Club/The Minneapolis Uranium Club Band's Human Exploration LP:

As we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their favorite punk tracks from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

also!

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (No Negative, Cuntz, G.L.O.S.S., Obnox) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.

Rolling Punk 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

Late in the game now, I realize, but Said the Gramophone posted its 30 favourite punk tracks of 2015, complete with downloadable MP3s:

http://www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/punk_scrapbook_2015.php

Is there a 2016 thread yet? I know it's technically the end of 2014, but I only heard the GG King album "Unending Darkness" at the end of '15 and it's so great: https://scavengerofdeathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/unending-darkness

Is there a 2016 thread? Can't find one through search but maybe the name changed?

I don't think so? I would've bookmarked it if I'd seen one...

So erm, punk rock eh? Downtown Boys playing in a few weeks!

Oh god, is that coming up? I really want to see them but not here.

UK Subs are playing on Friday... I think Nots are playing soon-ish?

I am really, really, really looking forward to the new Good Throb single.

I don't want to just ignore it but don't want to pry either. Why don't you want to see them here? No pressure to answer that if you don't want to.

This record is like 3 years old, but this Young Trynas 7" I'm listening to now is pretty fucking good.

Well, considering that the promoters and half the crowd will be made up of people who I thought were close friends but turned out to really really not be, I'm not convinced it would be much fun for me, nor good for my mental health to be in that environment. Tbh I might not even be let in anyway, I'm certainly not invited.

Anyway I only wanted to know if there was a new thread to indulge in some rampant self-promotion but now I'm not really feeling like it.

I'm sorry I immediately regretted posting that question, it's really none of my business I just didn't want to just blithely ignore it, like should I be boycotting the venue for some reason I don't know. I'll go back in my box now.

Should probably just start a new thread anyway.

none of your business maybe, but also a perfectly reasonable question and you certainly surrounded it in language meant to make it clear emil.y didn't have to answer if she didn't want. but she did. you have nothing to apologize for, CP.

Good Throb are great

feel like we don't really need to make new threads every year since each one only gets like 98 posts

yeah that's almost certainly otm

Good Throb have a single in the v near future and are then breaking up, or at least not doing anything for the foreseeable future, due to members moving thousands of miles apart. they are/were/remain fantastic

new Lumpy :)

https://lumpythedumpers.bandcamp.com/album/huff-my-sack

fully into this band RUBBER MATE from Cleveland who just released a 7" https://rubbermate.bandcamp.com/album/rub-em-all-7

kinda Lumpy-y but on a big 80s Drunks With Guns type dirge punk tip

nice

This Bad Breeding album is pretty good innit.

Also I found a UK distro selling the Exit Order EP from last year which I've wanted for ages but LVEUM sold out of it before I could order it.

new old hunches B-)

The new G.L.O.S.S. EP is as bracing as I'd hoped:

https://girlslivingoutsidesocietysshit.bandcamp.com/album/trans-day-of-revenge

yea it's great

thirded. lyrically especially

Ooooh new GLOSS, so excited.

Anyway, the aborted self-promo I was gonna do upthread is that my band is on this comp of female/female-fronted punk/DIY groups. There are some brilliant things on here, many friends and some heroes (I <3 Rakta): https://emotional-response-recs.bandcamp.com/album/typical-girls

I've seen that comp, cool bands but seems like almost all previously released stuff so I have a lot of it anyway. The Primetime song looks like it's exclusive I guess.

yeah was hoping it was gonna be unreleased stuff tbh but all the bands/songs are good basically so I hope it serves as an 'in' for curious types

emil.y which group are you in?

I'm in Slvm ov L3gs.

:)

this band, Rakta, from Brazil is coming thru Mpls sounds pretty cool and supposed to be great live

https://rakta.bandcamp.com/album/iii

Seriously, they are brilliant. Go see them. I love them love them love them.

^ I saw them at Static Shock Weekend a couple of years ago, they were a new discovery for me at the time. Due to a last minute line-up order change I accidentally bought their 12" and 7" thinking that Diat (who played before them but were supposed to play after them) were called Rakta. So I waited nervously after realising my mistake for them to come onstage really hoping that the band that was actually called Rakta turned out to be good now that I'd spend £15 on them by mistake. So that was a relief when they were actually good. Er, cool story bro.

Slvm ov L3gs not too shabby either tbh.

cool i will make a point to go!

emil.y i love this :)

it doesn't remind me of the mekons exactly but there's something of their spirit in this imo

new album by NOTS (who are on the comp discussed just above) is good as hell. think this http://www.heavenlyrecordings.com/news/2016/06/nots-to-release-new-album-cosmetic-this-autumn/ is the only track from it online currently, it's the longest one and by no means one of its best moments but really knocked out by this rekid either way
