This week: our experiences of (the) Modern Times and Modern Pressure (by the Delta Riggs), everyone deserves music, shouts to the alphabet, Jagger cosplay, in search of a sound, Gudinski inventions, hating on Jet, so nice they used it twice, squealy audiences, performance detracting drugs, mathpunk, contrived band mashups, diversity of faces versus diversity of sound, you can’t spell grime without grim, Mercurial albums, figuring it out, doing it yourself, nobody wants to talk music with Beeso (on mic), sifty Gauloises-smoking Frenchmen, legacy trolling albums, hairy men from Sweden, not particularly beachy and getting dragged in the edit. Next week: Adamhfoto joins the Doc to review new albums by ageing punky brewsters blink-182 and Scandiwegian filth merchants The Drippers. Beeso’s back in a few weeks to chat about fresh SoCal doomthrashskatepunk from Warish and yet another massively pretentious and self-indulgent Mike Patton side project, because each of us have our brands to maintain. Current and recent review albums are in our album review playlist on Spotify (earlier albums from 2019 are archived here), along with our 2019 After Dark Mixtape of our favourite tracks from albums reviewed this year. Our full list of review albums and Beeso's kids playlist are also available elsewhere on the internet.
