Top 5 Charts:
1.) illuminati hotties – FREE I.H.: This Is Not the One You’ve Been Waiting For
Earning a well deserved spot at the top of our charts, illuminati hotties combine witty lyrics and fun punk for an all around enjoyable experience.
2.) Eyedress – Let’s Skip to the Wedding
If any album out there defines the word “consistency,” this one might be it. This project is full of songs with similar moods and feels, all providing an angsty and lo-fi rock experience.
3.) Dream Wife – So When You Gonna…
You can tell just by the cover how this album sounds: loud, abrasive, thrashing punk that you wish you could see live.
4.) The Beths – Jump Rope Gazers
Fun, heart-warming, and versatile punk and indie-rock.
5.) Baby Bulldog – Rodney [EP]
A great EP that captures the spirit of surf-rock in the modern day.
