Music that rocks in 2022

Current favorite is "grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg"

Thanks for the tip on Momma slightly upthread. That nails a certain 90s vibe better than just about anything I've heard. Love the newest album.

Yeah, that Momma track is truly uncanny in how anachronistic it feels. Though the production is maybe a bit more 2020s hi-fi. Also one hell of an earworm, been stuck in my head for days.

grimace_smoking_weed.jpeg is fantastic but really haunting. also, good call on the Killdozer/vig production comparison. Still a bit surprised they have been getting so much more love than say the Bummer album from last year or pretty much every Pissed Jeans record, but I'm glad. Might also be timing, people being ground down, wanting some authentic noise and angry punk

JOBBER!

Not from 2022 but new to me - I've really been digging this Japanese group the Cabs, like very tight 90s-informed math rock with both pretty melodic singing and screaming over it; distinctive melodies.

Upchuck - Boss Up

Enjoying this and the album.

i think i like the new show me the body album? sometimes it gets a tad too nu-metal-y for my taste but i respect the noise and energy

yeah i love it. rocks super hard

whoa i like this

The Disq album hasn't hit me yet as a whole but there's definitely some solid rockin moments

The new Mindforce is sick

Mindforce RULES. This is good news.

pretty incredible noise rock from "sexual jeremy" https://sexyjerry.bandcamp.com/album/the-real-sexual-jeremy

kinda cheating but i've been catching up on death metal and the undeath, phobophilic, autopsy and dream unending albums from this year all rock insanely hard

Dream Unending is incredible, yeah

imo the Darkthrone album belongs here

I was not looking for music rocks, but this rocks in a classic sense (Tasche de la Rocha & the Psychedelic Roses)

Saw this described on Twitter as "if Deftones and Helmet were the same band" and...yeah, I'm into it:

i missed that there was a new kitchen's floor album this year, the first in seven years: https://kitchensfloor.bandcamp.com/album/none-of-that

i admire their drummer's dedication to using some kind of metallic clank percussion on half the songs

and by "their drummer" i guess i mean the one guy who's in the band now

Really digging these guys.

i like the title track a lot

civic album rips, thanks for that one

I think these guys have been mentioned in the metal threads a few times, but not so much metal as Stooges-inspired proto-punk so I'm bringing 'em up here again. Ecstatic Vision has a new live album out and it absolutely slays, just ferocious stuff:

Ecstatic Vision rules so hard

They do, indeed, I hope to catch them live one of these days. I was already a fan, but this live album just slays so hard.

saw them open for YOB not too long ago and it was very fun

ahh heavy psych records.
the new home to the lords of altamont.
also, love how every digital album release : 6.66 euros

Yeah Heavy Psych puts out some decent stuff, but I reallllllly wish they'd get some good US distribution. Forced Exposure puts out some of their stuff, but not all, and often way after it comes out officially. Their shipping costs are pretty high ($10 for a $14 CD) and when they do show up in a shop, they are frequently priced nearly at old import level prices.
