Supremely weird, supernaturally talented and criminally underrated, Brainiac was considered by many to be “the next big thing” when their story was cut short with the tragic death of front man Tim Taylor. A collection of noisy, frantic B-sides, covers, and previously unreleased tracks was released on Record Store Day, and is now streaming on your service of choice. The documentary about the band, Transmissions After Zero, is also highly recommended. – tom
I really dig The Lipschitz tracks from their upcoming album Chevron. This song and “computer sun” have been floating around for a while, but the promise of a full album of infectious, caffeinated, garage rock tracks like this is pretty exciting. If you fondly remember the SAV scene during the Cray Bags/Wet Socks era, you definitely should track this album down. Chevron is out 7/31. — tom
Spanning 97 minutes, the EPIC new Fucked Up four-part album is epic. Epic! Four Parts! Narrative vocal lines, constructed by a playwright, are traded between the sweet pop aria of Maegan Brooks Mills and Tuka Mohammed and the harsher, hardcore lines delivered by the immaculate Damian Abraham. Not to mention, incredible punk riffs and sweet melodies throughout. Everything you could want in a prog-punk album. Matt Berninger and Julien Baker make appearances too. Name drop! This is my personal favorite effort since the exceptional David Comes To Life. Remember that time that Fucked Up played Savannah? Yeah, that was awesome. — joshua
IDLES has led a recent resurgence of post-punk United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland bands—post post-punk?—topping charts on their island and making some headway into the U.S. market. (Click here for the best Tiny Desk Concert ever). The lads pay homage to the first wave of post-punk with this killer Gang of Four cover. Instant cool. — joshua
Remember that post-punk wave I mentioned in the paragraph above? Yeah, here’s another great release from that deep pool of new U.K. artists taking notes from late 70’s early 80’s post-death-of-punk music, albeit with a bit more Birthday-Party-experimentation. Disjointed at times, there are several really beautiful moments in the distortion here. Straight grooves. — joshua
Looks like a good weekend, especially on Saturday. If you only make it out once this weekend, Saturday would be my pick. And again, you can start early and end whenever you want. Don’t neglect the Living Color/Hobstank show at Victory North. Living Color has been playing with the same band since 1992 (?), so you know they have got it down good. That is the show I am most looking forward to this week. Sorry about the late posting, but I am trying to get every show I can find (not easy to do anymore) and lots of shows aren’t posted until today. Anyway, get your shot and come hang out with other vaccinated people. It’s fun and educational.

“Nature sees my need to believe/And sends me shopping center sunsets/Electronic cigarettes/Car title cash regrets/Shopping center sunsets”
T. Hardy Morris has emerged from the pandemic with the brilliant album “The Digital Age of Rome,” which challenges us to consider the decadence and materialism of our times, but I find the record ultimately more upbeat than cynical. Sure, we might have to view the sunset from the nearly-deserted parking lot of that sad strip mall that we all know so well, but it’s still the sunset, still a promise of new directions in the night or with the next dawn. – bill
Savannah Stopover alum Lucy Dacus dropped her third album Home Video (via Matador Records) on June 25 and it has catapulted the young singer-songwriter to a whole new stratosphere of critical acclaim with feature articles in Rolling Stone and late night TV appearances. The coming of age album is her best yet; strong from start to finish- making it really tough to choose just one song. VBS (which stands for “Vacation Bible School”) showcases some of her best songwriting with her delicate voice able to deliver razor sharp opening lines like “In the summer of ’07/I was sure I’d go to heaven/but I was hedging my bets at VBS.” For anyone who has ever felt abandoned by an evangelical religion thrust upon them, Lucy Dacus’ story about summer bible camp is here to let you know you’re not alone. – kayne
If you Google Manchester Orchestra, one of the most frequently asked questions pops up: “is Manchester Orchestra emo?” Good question. Centered in the epic breadth of a Manchester Orchestra album you often find incredible lyrics melded to cascading, gigantic crescendos coupled with soft lows. (And always, incredible composition and arranging.) On their six studio album, Andy Hull has lulled his band into yet another spiritual quagmire. And it’s fucking gorgeous in there. Hull’s lyrical aptitude is akin to The National’s Matt Berninger in its willingness to express poetically, and quite well, the inner-most intimate moments of a singular life. Is that emo? Probably. – joshua
Chipper Bones, a post-post post band from here in the Garden, grooves in the reverb sun of two light-hearted singles new to the world and released together as an EP. An LP would be three songs, right? Singles are doubles now? Extended Play means two? Long Play is more than two? All this new technology and its easter eggs. We need new terms. And a search engine for the soul. Energy/Carry My Own Light is chill. And easy to listen to over and over again, and easy to find on streaming channels. Highly recommended. Would listen again. – joshua
A bunch of new, catchy, scrappy and stoned indie-rock tunes from Wavves? Please and thank you. Nathan Williams songs sound vaguely familiar at first listen, then burrow themselves into your brain upon repeated listening. Perfect for summer. – tom
