Hope everyone has a safe New Years. <br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Where is My Mind? - Two Minutes To Late Night </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_gKi0o5-1dk" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">After watching Malignant this past fall, all I could think was damn, it's a big year for "Where is My Mind?" by the Pixies. Along with James Wan's polarizing "was that intentionally bad?" HBO Max exclusive using a cover of the song (from 2018) by Safari Riot, the pro wrestling company AEW also bought the rights to use the Pixies song as entrance music for the faction known as The Best Friends. Being so hyper-fixed on "Where is My Mind?" this year I even gave this Two Minutes To Late Night cover a chance. If you don't know anything about Two Minutes To Late Night, I'll save you the Google search and say that it's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/twominutestolatenight/videos" target="_blank">Youtube channel</a> featuring a corpse-painted dweeb who interviews other musicians and does metal covers with not-as-cringey musicians of the metal, punk, and hardcore world. As far as the cover goes, I could have done without the millennial "wooo's" (or whatever it's called nowadays), but everything else about this cover is a certified banger. There's Jeremy Bolm going all gas no brakes on the vocals, incredible bass tones by Jon of Vein.fm, drums by the multi-talented Colin Young (Twitching Tongues/God's Hate), and Salem from Bloodbath and Steve from Pup providing guitar sounds that would make an unsuspecting listener want to buy and wear a leather jacket. Hell, even Orange Cassidy of The Best Friends shows up and does the intro (yes, he actually talks). Jordan Olds is definitely the worst part, but without him this cover wouldn't exist, so I got to hand it to him for that. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Change (in the House of Flies) - Wreck and Reference</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3274277249/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=808842774/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://wreckandreference.bandcamp.com/album/change-in-the-house-of-flies">Change (In the House of Flies) by Wreck and Reference</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Earlier in the year, the always cool, always experimental record label, The Flenser announced they would be releasing a cover compilation called "Send the Pain Below" at some point in our lifetime. One cover that has been revealed is Wreck and Reference's spin on Deftones' classic, "Change (in the House of Flies)" from their alt-metal staple, <i>White Pony (2000)</i>. As someone who revisited <i>White Pony</i> a lot in the last two years, I needed no refresher on this now an adult at age 21 track. As for the cover itself, Wreck and Reference put their slithery, synth metal stamp on it as expected. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Chances are Wreck and Reference and myself weren't the only ones taking a look back at <i>White Pony</i>, as another band known as Homeshake from Canada also covered "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0GS-cHDzj8" target="_blank">Change</a>" this past year - albeit in a slightly different fashion. That cover is worth a listen as well. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Sorry Entertainer - SASAMI</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EIFKSynPwFE" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">SASAMI channels something wild here with her cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Sorry Entertainer”. It’s almost as if she took all the energy she didn’t use on the "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3ZfOc4QyYY" target="_blank">Toxicity</a>" cover last year and used it full-force here in honor of the late great Mr. Johnston. Whether she was trying to capture that piano-key-smashing jitteriness or trying to imagine what a Daniel Johnston cover on the Crow soundtrack would sound like - I’m 100% sold either way. Peep the music video featuring the almighty Patti Harrison above! </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Woke Up This Morning (The Sopranos Theme) - Kal Marks</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3970589107/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2639794110/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://imintoliferecords.bandcamp.com/album/creepy-covers">Creepy Covers by I'm Into Life Records</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">At first glance, this cover featured on I'm Into Life Records' <i><a href="https://imintoliferecords.bandcamp.com/album/creepy-covers" target="_blank">Creepy Covers</a></i> comp looks like Boston's Kal Marks didn't understand the assignment. While <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLxSUKA--Dg" target="_blank">The Sopranos Theme</a> can surely give fans goosebumps, I wouldn't call the bluesy, acid jazz theme song by Alabama 3 a particularly creepy song. However, Kal Marks manage to turn the song into a dark and stormy night fit for a "BOO: The Sounds of Halloween"-type compilation. Pro-Sopranos and anti-Kal Marks fans alike will enjoy this cover since it still sounds recognizable, while frontperson Carl keeps his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsOBKE7ffdg" target="_blank">signature vocals</a> at bay. I normally love when a band takes a song and turns it into their own, but with Kal Marks already turning "Woke Up This Morning" into an apt "creepy cover", it was the right choice to stick with the storytelling vocals. <br /></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Gasoline - Club Night</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3483625107/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1187398705/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://compco.bandcamp.com/album/compco">compco by Club Night</a></iframe></span></i></div><div><i><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></i></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Comco</i> from Community College, the solo project of Horse Jumper of Love John is one of my favorite releases of 2019. With each listen, <i>Comco</i> grows on me more and more. It must have a lasting effect on others as well, since a cover album was released this very year. The cover album cleverly named, <i><a href="https://compco.bandcamp.com/album/compco" target="_blank">compco</a></i> not only features friends of the band, but also some growing names in the indie/"DIY" world such as Spencer Radcliffe, Squirrel Flower and Club Night. I could have picked a handful of covers off this comp, but decided the Club Night cover of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mlEkRvhQcM" target="_blank">Gasoline</a>" was the one I listened to the most, especially since I listened to the original about a million times this year. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Supremacy - Be All End All</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2272064975/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=553857247/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://bbbrecords.bandcamp.com/album/americas-hardcore-volume-5">America's Hardcore Volume 5 by Triple B Records</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Be All End All from South Florida play fast and tough metallic hardcore. It usually takes a little something extra to suggest a hardcore cover, but "Supremacy" hits so hard I can't think of anything else to say but: "these guys covered a 30 second PV song by Crossed Out and it rules". Now available on the insanely stacked <i><a href="https://bbbrecords.bandcamp.com/album/americas-hardcore-volume-5" target="_blank">America's Hardcore Volume 5</a></i> via Triple B Records. Let's go.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Pa Pa Power - Cat Power</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/W55EXZ2YYPw" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">When thinking about what got me so invested in cover songs in the first place, I have to look back at covers like Tori Amos’ "Smells Like Teen Spirit", The Cardigans’ "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and Cat Power's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". All three covers are completely different than their source material and with the Cat Power cover in particular, the best part of the Rolling Stones' original - the chorus - is completely absent from the slow and depressing cover. When I heard Cat Power was releasing a new covers album next year, I knew Chan Marshall would not only pick some choice songs to cover but completely dismantle a song down to its bare bones once again. With "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV2Ux3O_XRc" target="_blank">Pa Pa Power</a>", Marshall does just that. Taking Ryan Gosling's somewhat forgotten music outfit, featuring prominent children singers to make for a spooky, Halloween-y feel, Marshall goes and strips "Pa Pa Power" down to nothing. No playful keyboard, no organ, no children's choir; just, well... Dead Man's Bones. It took me a couple of listens for this version to really click, but I now know that "Pa Pa Power" is a special cover.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Just the Two of Us - Lady Dan</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jwQHQ06N6gM" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Taking an already kinda creepy pop standard and turning it into an even creepier dance number perfect for a horror movie trailer is far from a new idea, but I think newcomer Lady Dan manages to make an instant classic out of this haunted rendition of "Just the Two of Us" by Grover Washington Jr. and Bill Withers (among others). Truthfully, the song itself probably didn't start getting creepy until the late 90's when Will Smith covered it for <i>Big Willy Style</i>. I doubt Lady Dan's cover has anything to do with Smith's version; that would be too creepy. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Candy Walls - Nag</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=456198255/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=3951288546/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://werenag.bandcamp.com/album/observer">Observer by Nag</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Here’s a hidden gem for lack of a better term. Nag’s cover of TR/ST’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaLVYK8xYWg" target="_blank">silky darkwave deepcut</a> is a cymbal-heavy, chain punk plunge into darkness. It might not be as dark and depressing as the original, but it’s far from a good time. Give it a whirl.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Lonely Weekend - NNAMDÏ</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4133427509/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2435624397/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://secretlycanadian.bandcamp.com/album/sc25-anniversary-2">SC25 Anniversary by NNAMDÏ</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">As a card-carrying member of the NNAMDÏ fanclub, I will pretty much listen to anything that the Chicago-based, Swiss army knife of musical prowess decides to release. Admittedly, I did not know this was a cover, but when I found out it was a Kacey Musgraves cover, I was not surprised in the least - again, I'm a card-carrying member of the NNAMDÏ fanclub. Luckily, I don't have to feel guilty or any of that nonsense because NNAMDÏ uses some of my favorite NNAMDÏ specialties to reconstruct an insanely catchy, twinkly acoustic cover. While I think we are past the "let's hate this thing because it's super commercial and perfect for basic white girls" phase of Kacey Musgraves, I don't think I'll be waiting in line at Target for the next album. Still, this is a really fun listen that almost makes me nostalgic for FOMO on a Friday night... but not really. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Blue and Red Horses - Hovvdy & Crisman</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3175543064/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2367452052/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://throughthesoil.bandcamp.com/album/through-the-soil">Through the Soil by Hovvdy ft Crisman</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Two bands that I love to put on when washing the dishes team up to cover another perfect kitchencore band, Big Thief. Hovvdy and Crisman obviously hit this cover out of the park. If you're looking for more recent Hovvdy, their new album is a good go-to, but the band also put out a second cover album earlier this year that features covers of Charli XCX, Frou Frou, Coldplay, and Paramore. Some might call that a cover album of guilty pleasures, but it's 2021 - no more feeling guilty about listening to Paramore while washing the dishes. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Flagpole Sitta - Intercourse</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2723543371/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://intercourse.bandcamp.com/album/flagpole-sitta">Flagpole Sitta by Intercourse</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes a cover just works because it’s a cool band picking a cool song, sometimes, like Intercourse and their cover of Harvey Danger’s 90s one hit wonder, it works because the band and the cover were always meant to be. “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYsMjEeEg4g" target="_blank">Flagpole Sitta</a>” has always felt like it oozed out its freshmen dorm room, sneaked into your room and sat naked on your pillow while you were in class. Intercourse, much like their "<a href="https://intercourse.bandcamp.com/track/my-war-black-flag-cover" target="_blank">My War</a>" cover, harness all their sludged-out edginess to create an even sleazier, 2021 version of "Flagpole Sitta". </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">New Slang - Porridge Radio</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yywG6bvvVtw" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">This cover by Porridge Radio of The Shins (that turned 20 years old this year!) feels like running into a ghost. Whether it's the fact that I haven't listened to The Shins in over 10 years or the fact that this cover feels like it should be from 10 years ago, there's something haunting about this song even before pressing play. This new "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYwCmcB0XMw" target="_blank">New Slang</a>" feels like one of those "zoomers listen to folk punk for the first time" Youtube videos you catch yourself watching because you stayed in bed for too long one depressed-out mornings. You are both in on the joke and so far removed from it that it makes your skin crawl. I have a hard time even putting this cover on this list despite my ever-growing obsession with it. But here it is, it exists and it can't be erased from my conscious. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Gratitude - Buggin </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=365228563/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=1641437494/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="https://flatspotrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fsr55-brainfreeze">FSR55 - Brainfreeze by Buggin</a></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Another awesome hardcore cover. This one serves as a perfect reminder that Beastie Boys never completely shed their punk roots. “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdJ5e70Q8mw" target="_blank">Gratitude</a>” might not be “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNkYVaRzhxE" target="_blank">Tough Guy</a>” punk rock Beastie Boys but it’s definitely not “Intergalactic” or "Sabotage" joke rap Beastie Boys either. The Chicago Area hardcore outfit put so much life and energy into this version of "Gratitude" that now the original feels like a lifeless filler of a song. I can't recommended this cover from a highly recommendable band enough. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for more Buggin in the future. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Damaged Goods - IDLES</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JyuItb3SX9o" title="YouTube video player" width="500"></iframe></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">IDLES left 2020 with a lackluster full-length release in my very serious critic opinion, but it might have also been their opinion as well since they made it abundantly clear that they weren’t just a one and done, social-conscious flavor of the week. so, throughout 2021, IDLES stayed in the spotlight by releasing multiple covers and remixes before dropping another album in November. Along with their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CimwIuYvpxM" target="_blank">Metallica cover</a> which might be my favorite of the bunch (there’s plenty of absolute duds), IDLES reminded everyone that they are a punk band by taking an aggressive approach to Gang of Four’s Post-Punk standard, “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byCqOvRMOvo" target="_blank">Damaged Goods</a>”. And, boy or boy, does it whips. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">IDLES weren’t the only band from across the pond to tackle this particular GoF track. Nope, La Roux (remember them?!) also tackle the song. La Roux take a safer approach to the song, despite smashing a microwave with a baseball bat for the music video. I’m curious if La Roux caught wind of the IDLES cover and realized "oh crap, we have to do something else" and instead just released a whole album filled with remixes of their said “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NDLzSoaRrs" target="_blank">Damaged Goods</a>” cover. La Roux's dance-y cover is decent, but come on, IDLES absolutely killed it. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Honorable Mentions</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/album/roots-bloody-roots" target="_blank">Roots Bloody Roots</a> - Chat Pile (Sepultura)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://burstsynapse.bandcamp.com/track/feds-watchin-feat-chop7times" target="_blank">Feds Watchin'</a> - Burst Synapse, Chop7times (Sunami)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUMSSora5gY" target="_blank">Eyes Without a Face</a> - Angel Olsen (Billy Idol)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://glassbeach.bandcamp.com/track/neon-glow-dogleg" target="_blank">Neon Glow</a> - Dogleg (glass beach)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://anxious18.bandcamp.com/track/bled-white">Bled White</a> - Anxious (Elliott Smith)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://spanishlovesongs.bandcamp.com/track/i-miss-you-doom-and-gloom" target="_blank">I Miss You</a> (Doom and Gloom) - Spanish Love Songs (Blink-182)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UIqS_yTJrw" target="_blank">Woodstock</a> - Chelsea Wolfe (Joni Mitchell)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvSNCUxtNSQ" target="_blank">Bad Religion</a> - Cat Power (Frank Ocean)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://opaon.bandcamp.com/track/gris" target="_blank">Gris</a> - Mount Eerie (Ô Paon)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://gcbtrecords.bandcamp.com/track/antigama-control-napalm-death-cover" target="_blank">Control</a> - Antigama (Napalm Death)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://killrockstars.bandcamp.com/track/look-a-ghost-unwound" target="_blank">Look a Ghost</a> - Shaylee (Unwound)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://killrockstars.bandcamp.com/track/where-gravity-is-dead-laura-veirs" target="_blank">Where Gravity is Dead</a> - Shamir (Laura Veirs)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://sulleneyes.bandcamp.com/track/there-she-goes" target="_blank">There She Goes</a> - Sullen Eyes (The La's)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzVj541UV0E" target="_blank">La La Means I Love You</a> - Nothing (The Delfonics)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://killrockstars.bandcamp.com/track/speed-trials-elliott-smith" target="_blank">Speed Trials</a> - Tamar Aphek (Elliott Smith)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://hovvdy.bandcamp.com/track/claws" target="_blank">claws</a> - Hovvdy (Charli XCX)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://music.tolivealie.com/track/got-a-lot-to-say" target="_blank">Got a Lot to Say</a> - Pig City (Ramones)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://boris.bandcamp.com/track/last-christmas" target="_blank">Last Christmas</a> - Boris (WHAM!)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://somethingmerry.bandcamp.com/track/closing-time-semisonic" target="_blank">Closing Time</a> - Kitner (Semisonic)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://perpetualdoom.bandcamp.com/track/islands-in-the-stream" target="_blank">Islands in the Stream</a> - Mirah, Maia McDonald (Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNNkvrky5ZU" target="_blank">Windows</a> - Kero Kero Bonito (Frankie Cosmos)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://perpetualdoom.bandcamp.com/track/stay-tuned-frasier-tv-theme" target="_blank">Frasier Theme</a> - Granddaddy (Kelsey Grammer)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnSgam75Bmo" target="_blank">I'm on Fire</a> - Cassandra Violet (Bruce Springsteen) (from the 2021 movie Pig)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">And here's a Spotify Playlist w/ a bunch of extra covers</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="autoplay;

Rollercoasters have their ups and downs, yes, and it's a hell of a ride. 2020 wasn't a rollercoaster. 2020 was that god awful ride that sticks you to the walls; the one that's inclosed and the lights just stopped working.

<br />
80. Cooking - Duster<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jsHEfgURj9g" width="500"></iframe> <div><br />
A nice little cruising song perfect for bike riding, car riding or played in your spaceship on the way to your new planet.<br />
<br />
79. Fuck the Pain Away - Peaches<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MX0SwQHIyW4" width="500"></iframe> <div><br /></div><div>"Fuck the Pain Away" by Canadian musician, Peaches is a lusty little number will make you go "where have I heard this subtle song before?" Well, it doesn't matter. Thanks to film and television this song will forever live on in your subconscious.<br />
<br />
78. Day One - Enemymine<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RawObDuYPfY" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br /></div><div>Enemymine was a short-lived but just as loud drum and two bass noise trio. Starting as a godheadSilo side project, Enemymine explored a more drone-like style while continuing to test the limits of loudness on both the listener and themselves thanks to the extreme use of bass amplification. “Day One” in particular feels like garage rock projected through blown-out speakers with enough spazz in the vocals to attract the attention of 00's emo/screamo fans.<br />
<br />
77. Drama in the Emergency Room - I Hate Myself</div><div>
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SheC8J-gQQ8" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br /></div><div>I Hate Myself released a 2 song demo on top of rereleasing their now-essential 10 song LP in 2000. Not everyone's cup of tea but the demo still makes for a nice coaster on your coffee table.<br />
<br />
76. The Sea is In Here - The Mercury Program<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aJ_EGUPCwWg" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
A quick break from harsh vocals for second, here's some calming post rock straight from the sea.<br />
<br />
<br />
75. 360 - Keelhaul<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4OTEoq7rdiA" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
Originally released on Hydra Head Records in 2000, Keelhaul's clanky mathcore no doubt fits right in with Hydra Head's catalog. The topsy-turvy-ness of "360" feels more like a ship sailing aimlessly through 10 foot seas than an actual keelhaul. "360" is still a rough-ride never the less.<br />
<br />
<br />
74. Give Me Some Reality - In Control</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DlY37bx_mRs" width="500"></iframe>
<br /><br />
Don't let "Nardcore" fool you; "Give Me Some Reality" isn't some forgotten mish-mash of genres. Nope, it's just straightforward cali hardcore.<br />
<br />
73. The Kindness of Automatic Doors - Helms</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1hKE2lJL2qg" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
Proof that artsy spoken word can still be bouncy.<br />
<br />
72. Don't Want to Die Young - Backfire!</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cSpFmCyKeMA?start=919" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
Not sure why Backfire!’s 2000 album is all mixed up on Spotify and Youtube but from the scanned booklet via <a href="https://www.discogs.com/Backfire-Still-Dedicated/master/880137#images/23826859">Discogs</a>, lyrics for "Don't Want to Die Young" match up with the song by the same name and not "Still Dedicated" which also match up with the lyrics for that respective song. Either way, Backfire!'s Dutch hardcore 2000 output is a passionate tribute to the band's late guitarist Richard Bruinen, who did in fact die young.<br />
<br />
71. Big Riff - Cave In<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fitOcAt0siA" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br /></div><div>Naming a song "Big Riff" is a big commitment but Cave In of Methuen, Massachusetts deliver on the promise. "Big Riff" gets a little too prog rock for my liking, but come on, the song is from an album called Jupiter after all.<br />
<br />
70. No Cigar - Meanwhile, Back in Communist Russia...</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WH4camhFhCA" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
Talking instead of singing was apparently all the rage in 2000. Of the bunch, “No Cigar” a single from Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia’s debut 2001 release Indian Ink feels the most like poetry in motion rather than an artsy gimmick. Last.fm listeners might remember this song the best as it showed up a lot on post rock radio stations along with being a free download for quite some time. There’s also the chance that you heard the name Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia… via some buzzfeed “worst band names of all time” list as well.<br />
<br />
69. Sex Jam Two: Insect Incest - Milemarker</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8ijydEYwpzU" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />
Not the most welcoming song name but all boiled down, "Sex Jam Two: Insect Incest" is a very sleazy post hardcore, ummm, banger about sex and the way insects do it. <br />
<br />
68. Headlines - The Spirit of Versailles</div><div><br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tEcSQch3A5s" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br />Top notch screamo from an almost endless sea of screamo released in 2000. "Headlines" was originally released on a 7 inch split with Rise From Ruin (which just got digitally rereleased this year with the rest of The Spirit of Versailles' <a href="https://thespiritofversailles.bandcamp.com/album/x-summer-1999-x">X Summer 1999 X</a> recording session). <div><br /></div><div>67.

66. I Love the Unknown - Clem Snide</div><div><br /></div><div>
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GR8gKHwlyYs" width="500"></iframe> </div><div><br /></div><div>Not the most overlooked pop rock song of 2000, but Clem Snide's little deadpan love song is a charming number originally panned by critics.</div><div><br /></div><div>65. Bull Nakano - The Ultimate Warriors<br /></div><div><br /></div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WAZyMQAKR7o" width="500"></iframe><div><br /></div><div>Another wrestling song from 2000. This one is a lot more obscure in nature and in subject matter. Rather than Stone Cold or The Rock, here's a quick love letter to Japanese wrestling legend, Bull Nakano.</div><div><br /></div><div>64. Mr. E's Beautiful Blues - Eels</div><div><br /></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gMuFsUWre8s" width="500"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div>Goddamn right this song was in Road Trip (2000).</div><div><br /></div><div>63.

<br />
101. The Sky's the Ground, the Bombs Are Plants, and We're the Sun, Love - Storm & Stress<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y9dAYQ6313Y" width="500"></iframe>

Some 2000 Ian Williams' highlights include appearing in High Fidelity, releasing <i>American Don</i> and almost dying on the way to what would have been Williams' last Don Caballero show. On top of all that, Williams, along with long-time Don Cab bassist Eric Emm, released <i>Under the Thunder and Fluorescent Lights</i>, a highly experimental project influenced by Sturm Und Drang and free jazz. While not the crowd-pleaser that <i>American Don</i> is, Storm & Stress laid the groundwork for what would eventually become the band Battles, including the blueprints of Williams’ innovative guitar tapping skills.<br />
<br />
100. Dinosaur Act - Low<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xpnb3whTjLI" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Low more like slow amirite? Well, here’s a slowcore song about dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
99. Hell Yeah (Stone Cold Steve Austin Theme) - Snoop Dogg, WC<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xz0_eM50YKU" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
WWF Aggression is a compilation of wrestling theme songs with rap and hip hop artists placed on top of tracks. Think the Judgment Night soundtrack except a lot less hardcore. This list wouldn’t be very 2000 without a Stone Cold Steve Austin reference, so here’s Stone Cold Steve Austin’s glass-shattering theme featuring rap bars by Snoop Dogg & WC. While it's no surprise to see Snoop Dogg pop-up on a wrestler’s theme, the WC feature makes this remix hit a bit harder. It's no Disturbed “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwMp5OkYjd4" target="_blank">Glass Shatters</a>'', but it will still make you want to Stone Cold Stunner your non-social distancing neighbors at their quarantine BBQ.<br />
<br />
Bonus ramble: Every time I revisit this album I get excited to see a Gangrel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2noTmG8rYbc" target="_blank">theme remix</a> featuring C-Murder (also of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYwXUxgszF0" target="_blank">Wolfpac theme</a> fame) only to remember that the Gangrel track is not the much cooler <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akoj39vgylU" target="_blank">Fangin' and Bangin'</a> version that the Vampire Warrior himself uses on the indies.<br />
<br />
98. Shadows - Nasum<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BlAidRLq75I" width="500"></iframe>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Melody and grind combine just as man combines with machine to form Human 2.0. Yeah, something like that. Welcome to 2000.<br />
<br />
97. Everything Means Nothing to Me - Elliott Smith<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m2NCuoVMhjk" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
<i>Figure 8 </i>feels like bubblegum pop ready to be loaded into the barrel of a feel-good-metaphorical gun. Pressing play equals a shot straight through your head, ear-to-ear. That being said, underneath the emotionless Beatles-fodder that is Elliott Smith's final album (before his death in 2003) is a serious cry for help.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
96. Ruining the Show - Kickback ft. Profecy<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IAYEs4n6GJI" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Don't let this hardcore punk meets French rap ripper fool you, this is not nu metal, nor is it for the weak.<br />
<br />
95. Ms. Jackson - OutKast<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MYxAiK6VnXw" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
You won't find a lot of songs featured on MTV's Total Request Live on this list, but in the abundance of boy band, girl band, soft rock and pop rap that littered the airwaves in 2000 - Ms. Jackson by OutKast still holds up to this day. Hell, even the "I am four eels" memes hold up.<br />
<br />
94. Fucking Racist Maggots - A Global Threat<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N3L3270-wJ0" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
New England punx directing their aggression to what truly matters, saying fuck you to racist maggots. Nuff said.<br />
<br />
93. Nailwork - Night in Gales<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7a3xJKLnfE8" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
German death metal meets the new millennium with Night in Gales’ final release on Nuclear Blast. Could this be radio death metal? It sure sounds better than “melodic” death metal. “Nailwork” never gained much traction between the casual radio crowd or “true” metal fans. Regardless, it’s a valuable track to revisit, especially when genre-mashing is far from taboo these days.<br />
<br />
92. I Won't Back Down - Johnny Cash<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/N8i5NLyXZdc" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
While Johnny Cash's rendition of "I Won't Back Down" from his American Recordings series doesn’t pull on the heart strings quite like "Hurt" two years later, it's transparent that the man in black's popularity and health was on the decline. Due to Cash’s poor health, reworks of hit songs had to suffice to honor his locked-in contract with Rick Rubin. At first, Cash’s Tom Petty cover felt a bit on-the-nose as a symbol for a cowboy refusing to let go of his spurs. However, with both Johnny Cash and Tom Petty gone now, there’s something triumphantly sad about this cover.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
91. He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot - Grandaddy<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Wreaking of David Bowie and Radiohead comparisons, Grandaddy manage to make a 9-minute indie rock opera bearable.<br />
<br />
Spoiler alert: this is the closest thing to Radiohead that's on this list. So for any of you R-heads holding out for Yorke and the Idioteque gang you can stop reading now and go listen to Kid A on your own time.<br />
<br />
90. Sand (Eric’s Trip) - The Microphones<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9u6CI_jYBmo" width="500"></iframe>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Microphones cover of “Sand” by Eric’s Trip in no way evokes the life-altering experience that the Glow Pt. 2 would a year later. “Sand” is merely a little lo-fi song that flows in and out of existence. Still, this little cover-that-could is a nice reminder that the Microphones aren’t all blast beats and foghorns. Not that those things don’t totally rule, of course.<br />
<br />
89. Taste - Coaltar of the Deepers<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mMCRxSV1jy0" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Coaltar of the Deepers also released their own 9-minute epic in 2000. Japanese indie rockers' meditative-form echoes that of the Smiths or the Sundays without incessantly being labeled the Japanese version of either band. Despite the runtime, "Taste" breezes by even with its beautiful 2 minute piano epilogue.<br />
<br />
88. Motion Sickness - Bright Eyes<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EAVoxERa4-0" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
While Bright Eyes has recently returned to relevance for reasons I won’t go into here, Bright Eyes’ <i>Fevers and Mirrors</i> does not warrant a 20-year revisit. Not all Bright Eyes material from 2000 has rotted with age, though. Take for instance “Motion Sickness” from a 7” with “Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man”. While the latter song feels like the slimy emo prominent on <i>Fevers and Mirrors</i>, “Motion Sickness” is a stripped-back track that manages to not offend the eardrums while still being very Bright Eyes in nature.<br />
<br />
87. Prayer - Neurosis<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LoacMTcWqgs" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
“Prayer” resides at the crossroads between <i>Times of Grace </i>(1999) and A <i>Sun That Never Sets</i> (2001). Figuratively and literally. Starting with an chilling guitar pattern reminiscent of <i>Times of Grace</i>, “Prayer” takes a side-trip to an ice-cold opening monologue before turning into a cavalcade of tribal-drum chaos - the same kind of tribal-drum chaos that is explored further in A <i>Sun That Never Sets.</i><br />
<br />
86. Knife Fight - Society's Finest<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/B7jbLdZnyDQ" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In a classic case of don't judge a book by its cover, "Knife Fight" by Society's Finest is neither an indie rock band, as the cover might suggest, nor a youth crew hardcore band, as the band name might suggest. Instead, Society's Finest is a christian metalcore band, which might explain their non-graphic album artwork (not that blood and guts are really needed to inform the listener your band is metalcore). “Knife Fight” is also one of those rare cases where the scream vocals and clean singing actually mix well together. So yeah, don’t judge this song by the cover, by the band name, by the religious undertones, or (most importantly) by the dual vocals.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
85. One Summer Last Fall - Jets to Brazil<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xnivabEKMSw" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<i>Four Cornered Night</i> might pale in comparison to Jets to Brazil's 1998 must-listen, <i>Orange Rhyming Dictionary</i> (which is also a name of a song on <i>Four Cornered Night</i>), there's still choice tracks on the album begging to be discovered. Try "One Summer Last Fall" for instance, which includes keyboard and guitar work wittier than the song's title. While I wouldn't immediately recommend this song to anyone looking for something along the lines of Jawbreaker (Blake Schwarzenbach's earlier band), <i>Four Cornered Night</i> still offers something that's not quite college radio rock, not quite power pop and not quite emo.<br />
<br />
84. Fluorescent Lights - Carissa's Wierd<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zcb6fEst9n8" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
In 2000, <i>Ugly But Honest</i> was released featuring music recorded between 1996 and 1999 using whatever resources Carissa's Wierd could get their hands on. It’s ugly but honest. It's also quite beautiful and honest. Using minimal instrumentation and spoken, almost whispered vocals, Carissa’s Wierd fit right in at the the 2000's post rock and indie rock table. CW members would eventually gain mainstream success blending the two styles into the refined sound of Band of Horses. Spiritually however, “Fluorescent Lights” feels more like guitarist/vocalist Mat Brooke’s later project, Grand Archives.<br />
<br />
83. Sever - Karate<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HOKhm98kjKQ" width="500"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Oh, the smooth and silky jazz rock that is Karate. Karate goes down like a glass of rich chocolate. Karate was so rich and addictive, in fact, that they've been banished from major streaming sites to keep people from consuming too much and throwing up all over their MacBook Pros. That's one theory, at least.<br />
<br />
82. Say it In Slugs - Entombed<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X9B3K5qGqfs" style="text-align: center;" width="500"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After introducing their new self-labeled Death ‘n’ Roll sound in the late 90's, it looked like the Entombed career path would eventually lead to watered-down garage rock. Entombed’s 2000 release <i>Uprising</i> along with the track “Say it In Slugs” proved the world wrong. Rather than going full commercial rock, “Say it In Slugs” brings the heaviness. Entombed go back to their Swedish death metal roots, dig them up and drag the roots through the mud to create a new death-induced sludgefest, throwing away everything that was wrong with their 1998 release, <i>Same Difference</i>. Entombed proved that they were heavy without returning to <i>Wolverine Blues </i>which, at this point, would have felt just as stale. Give it a few years though and their early death metal style would root itself once again in both the metal and hardcore community tenfold.<br />
<br />
81. The Platform - Dilated Peoples<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DEVVGCK1Pl4" style="text-align: center;" width="500"></iframe><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Dilated Peoples’ debut mainstream album, <i>The Platform</i> is still a banger amongst the radio rap and hip-hop of the day. While “Work the Angles” (originally released as a single in 1998) is the clear stand-out on the album, the eponymous track is not to be slept on. "The Platform" features infectious turntable scratching familiarly heard on “Work the Angles” and serves as a perfect introduction for the rest of the album. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
2018 has been a rollercoaster if rollercoasters had more trials and tribulations than thrills and excitement. I had high hopes of bringing Nostalgia For Tomorrow circa 2010 back to reality, but again the rollercoaster of life had an open seat for me in the front row. Despite all that, I won't apologize. Instead, I'll write about some things that make me happy. So, here is a list of my favorite cover songs from the year 2018. For listening and enjoyment purposes only.</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://wreckandreference.bandcamp.com/album/alien-pains" style="background-color: #666666;" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">Always Crush Me - Wreck and Reference</span></a><br />
<br />
<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3309296347/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2452242757/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://wreckandreference.bandcamp.com/album/alien-pains">Alien Pains by Wreck and Reference</a></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Wreck and Reference take Guided By Voices' lo-fi recording and all its roughness, amplify it by 100, and project it into twisted industrial metal. The monotonous guitar strumming is traded in with synths and slacker vocals become panic-induced yelling. "Always Crush Me" is the perfect little cover for a perfect little song in Guided By Voices' giant-ass catalog.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Agony - Beach Fossils</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TtOGX-xXScE/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TtOGX-xXScE?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
Yung Lean's under the influence love song from last year gets an upbeat treatment thanks to New York rockers, Beach Fossils. "Agony" is an ice cold number about tripping balls that seems indulgent at first, but give it a few listens and you will discover a haunting song that boarders on claustrophobic. With Beach Fossils' addition of light guitar and a steady bass, the walls seem to move even closer in on you. BF's version might be a bit more upbeat than the original, but it's far from the most rock n' roll rendition of a Sadboy-type song; that award goes to a similarly named band, Beach Goons, who covered Spooky Black's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukdHWQA7wAI" target="_blank">Without U</a>" back in 2015.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://marissanadler.bandcamp.com/album/covers-2" style="background-color: #666666;" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">I Started a Joke - Marissa Nadler</span></a><br />
<br />
<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=2337633659/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=2543171194/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://marissanadler.bandcamp.com/album/covers-2">covers 2 by Marissa Nadler</a></iframe>
<br />
<br />
A number of songs from Marissa Nadler's second cover album could have been posted here. There's one of my favorite Leonard Cohen tracks ("Avalanche"), a heartbreaking Daniel Johnston track ("True Love Will Find You in the End"), and a somber Danzig deep-cut ("Blood and Tears"). I have to give the spotlight to Nadler's rendition of "I Started a Joke" by Bee Gees though, since the original turned 50 years old this year. Plus, it's really good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://integrity.bandcamp.com/" style="background-color: #666666;" target="_blank"><span style="color: white;">Bark at the Moon - Integrity</span></a><br />
<br />
<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3301314370/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://integrity.bandcamp.com/album/bark-at-the-moon-ozzy-osbourne-cover">Bark At The Moon (Ozzy Osbourne Cover) by Integrity</a></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Integrity haven't slowed down a bit since releasing their barn burner, <i>Howling, For the Nightmare Shall Consume</i> last year. This year, the metal/hardcore crossover vets released a split with American black metal outfit, Krieg, and for Halloween released a cover of an Ozzy Osbourne classic. Despite the essential choice, Integrity's deliver is anything but tongue-in-cheek. Yes, it's still clearly an Ozzy track, but Integrity's signature sound breaths new life into the old beast. Take a listen above and go off the rails of the crazy... err, bark at the moon.<br />

<br />
<br />
A few years back, a work friend invited me to his wedding and mentioned that the wedding song would be "The Book of Love". He asked me if I had ever heard of the song in hopes that I would guess The Monotones' song by the same name. Instead, I did my best Magnetic Fields impression without drawing too much attention to myself. He was impressed but also a little confused. I never ended up attending the wedding, but I did learn that "The Book of Love" is a very popular wedding song. The twist, of course, is "The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields on the album, <i>69 Love Songs</i> was later covered by the more-known-by-co-workers, Peter Gabriel. Flash forward to this past Halloween, I'm attending one of the 8 Halloween cover shows the Boston-area had to offer, and bedbug was performing as the Scrubs Soundtrack, a medley of songs from the hit show. One of the songs bedbug played happened to be "The Book of Love", which appears in the season 8 finale a la the Peter Gabriel version. I joked about whether bedbug covered The Magnetic Fields version or Peter Gabriel to myself. Flash forward to a few days ago, when a <i>69 Love Songs</i> tribute album was released by Living Statue Records. There, waiting for me among the 69 songs, was bedbug's "The Book of Love". This recorded version might be missing the Scrubs samples that were weaved into the rest of bedbugs' Halloween set, but it's still really awesome to see my pointless anecdote about "The Book of Love" grow each year.<br />

<br />
<br />
Ben Walsh of Tigers Jaw's cover on <i>Don't Stop Now II: A Collection of Covers</i> is a perfect example of a gateway song to the original. Without clicking on Ben's cover, I would have never given much of a thought to the new Porches album. Now "By My Side" is among one of my favorite songs of 2018. As for the compilation itself, if you got the cash I highly recommend grabbing all 33 covers which benefits <a href="https://www.raicestexas.org/" target="_blank">RAICES</a> (Refugees and Immigrants Center for Education & Legal Services). RAICES seems like a great place to throw your money at; throw your money at anything and everything that is not a giant fear-mongering wall.<br />

<br />
Superorganism's intoxicating rendition of "Havana" feels like it manifested via a long night of partying at a local karaoke bar. Something that could not have been duplicated at the karaoke bar, however, is their candy-coated production that has been ever-so-carefully melted into digital goodness for the ears. There might not be as much going on as there is in every other facet of Superorganism's <a href="http://wearesuperorganism.com/" target="_blank">recordings</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K49QKVR0p0" target="_blank">performances</a>, and wild <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/15TFB6uLZlb3gnCysRrLix?si=b2rJLx5jT3qJShsfkiJAcw" target="_blank">Spotify music videos</a>, there's still no mistaking the dedication to their commitment to ultra quirkiness.<br />

<br />
<br />
A major appeal to the Stone Roses' hit number, "I Wanna Be Adored" is the misheard chorus which I always sing as "I Wanna Be A Door", while others mishear it as "I Wanna be a Dog" or, similarly, "I Wanna be Your Dog". King Woman's version adds a new layer to the already misunderstood lyrics by draping the song in doom-y drone atmosphere. "I Wanna Be Adored" seems unrecognizable at first, until Kristina Esfandiari AKA Miserable's wispy vocals come in. Eventually the song picks up and echoes the aforementioned line that sounds especially like "I Wanna Be A Door" until coming to an untimely end. It might not go down as smooth as the original, but give it a few listens and let it grow on you like a small rash or black mold.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
What better way to celebrate a record label's 10 year anniversary than taking a swing at a song that is surprisingly almost 10 years old. Sunflower Bean manage to shed some of the over-amplified guitar work without losing any of the energy that rarely is heard from Sleigh Bells these days. The result almost sounds like "Pepper" by Butthole Surfers, but maybe that's just me wanting something to sound like "Pepper" by Butthole Surfers. Either way, I highly recommend playing this cover full-blast in a beat-up 90's Volvo just as the original was meant to be played.<br />

Despite being a day late, Frank Ocean's "Moon River" is this years' Valentine cover song. Channelling his inner Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffanys, Ocean delivers a poignant rendition of a timeless classic only the way he could. "Moon River" is just a reminder how incredible Frank Ocean is even if this wasn't his best take.<br />

<br />
<br />
CJ Boyds has been traveling all over the country for 10 years playing with all sorts of wonderful talent. Boyds' cover album in honor of 10 years on the road might not be the biggest, but it's definitely the most ambitious cover album on this list. Not only are Boyds' covers carefully picked to reflect the bands and musicians he has shared stages and spaces with, all the covers are by musicians he has played with covering all 50 states plus Washington, DC and an unknown bonus track for US territories. Along with that, Boyds recorded each song in the respected state as to which the song is associated with. Currently, only "People / Halfsleeper" is available for listening, but judging by this drone-y Dilute meets Chelsea Wolfe combo-cover recorded in California, Boyds ode to the US is going to be mighty impressive.<br />

<br />
<br />
A few bands seem to loose some steam when they change their name. Preoccupations, formerly Viet Cong, however are keeping the hype train going. This year they released an album called <i>New Material </i>(Which might be there new name next year) and a split with top-tier post-punkers of the '10s, Protomartyr. Preoccupations prove they are here to stay with their spaced-out rendition of "Pontiac 87". The cover might not be the most challenging, especially since both bands are so similar, but maybe not appropriating someone else is a good thing for Preoccupations right now.<br />

<br />
<br />
With a band tackling Chance the Rapper's "Same Drugs", one might think that Free Throw are putting a special spin on a hometown favorite. However, Free Throw are not a Chicago emo band. Hell, they're not even an East Coast emo band. Free Throw from Nashville, Tennessee already take on the task of being a long shot, a surprisingly not "southern" emo band. Free Throw aren't defined by where they reside, but rather by how moving their music can be. It's a surprise to most, and a cover of Chance seems like the biggest surprise Free Throw could have come up with, yet here we are. "Same Drugs" comes as a surprise at the end of Missing Pieces, a small compilation of re-imagined songs from their 2017 album, <i>Bear Your Mind</i>.<br />

Maniac instantly takes charge, blasting raw energy at the frontline that is your poor ears. Every track comes in hot and every track ends like a smoking gun. When the smoke settles, <i>War & Insanity </i>leaves you with that pelted with 200 pounds of hardcore shrapnel feeling. It's a feeling that leaves no weight on your chest but, rather, leaves you content.<br />
<br />
Maniac understands the war we all fight; the fight with sanity. Listen below and feel a little better:<br />

Anxiety-riddled ditties about hunting Coyot, 12 point bucks, riding dirt bikes, drinking 'Gansett? That's the messy juxtaposition to be expected from Peru, Maine's Buddusky, guy.<br />
<br />
Buddusky's <i>Some Quills Caught</i> brings me back to my time living in Downeast, Maine. Particularly going to school in a town locked in by trees, a small bay, and only one road in or out. No where to run or hide, I took a short story writing class and remember reading a lot of stories about first time hunting trips, working on dad's F150, and learning to drive a tractor at age 10. These stories were sloppy and brief but they were also brutally honest and confessional. One kid got teary-eyed when he had to read to the class that Pa finally accepted him after shooting his first deer. It was no 12 pointer, but it would do.<br />
<br />
Growing up in and around the more rural parts of Maine, you hear the hunting stories or the dirt bike stories time after time. Yet, there's something about hearing these stories without the puffed out chests, or the macho prowess. Instead, the stories are told through the truthfulness of a frightened kid again. That's what <i>Some Quills Caught</i> is all about; the feeling of being a kid again, lost in the woods behind your grans' house, being scared to death and begging to go home. We all eventually grow up - but we never forget our childhood fears.<br />

Vaulted have been sharpening their teeth since I went on hiatus and are only getting heavier and more pissed off. I first caught wind of Vaulted back in 2016 with their <i>Better Days</i> EP and was really impressed - so impressed that they were on my must-see list when I moved to Boston two Summers ago. A few months back, I finally caught Vaulted open for Fórn and I knew that this new 10-track ripper, <i>Distaste</i> would be on constant rotation.<br />
<br />
<i>Disaste</i> is about giving the big fuck-you middle finger to Fox News, Big Pharma, and the punch clock. <i>Disaste</i> is also about staying afloat despite all the bullshit in life. Simply put, <i>Disaste</i> is aggression; aggression through stomping hardcore and riffing metal that actually helps you get through the day.<br />

Featuring members of Fiddlehead and Glory, The Guiding Wave share the same driving force while taking a sharp right down Suicide or Television memory lane. The Guiding Wave wear their influences on their sleeve, but they also have a dark, almost cold, sensibility to the post-punk being played today. Think more straightforward Protomartyr or a non-tongue-and-cheek Ought. Either way, take a trip and let <i>To Dance Around Love</i> guide you through these hot summer nights.<br />

Ultimate is a new DC drug free hardcore project from members of Rashomon, Never Relaxed, and Corrective Measure. Frontman Zechariah Ghostribe previously of Never Relaxed keeps the raw energy going while upping the ante on in-your-face aggression. Plus, the boxing gloves are no joke, this is Jiu Jitsu fueled, takedown and drag 'em out hardcore.<br />
<br />
Not for posers. Not for punishers.<br />

Knife Worship, hailing from Bangor, Maine at the time of this release, have been tinkering away in sound recording classes and dirty practice spaces on and off again for a few years now. In that time, the sounds coming from those rooms have evolved. What once was powerviolence became post punk, then industrial and back again. At the end of the day, there's one thing that Knife Worship have always focused on - testing the limits of punk rock music. <i>Targeted Individual </i>is a synth-y, post-punk-drenched 4-song release that ends before you can even think of another sub-genre. Enough said. It's a quick trip, so dust yourself off and listen to it again.<br />

So, to get the boulder that is list season rolling, here are some of my favorite cover songs of 2015!<br />
<br />
<b>Hot Chip - Dancing in the Dark <i>from</i> Dancing in the Dark EP</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PyN_d28-sfw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PyN_d28-sfw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
If you are like me, then you probably only know Hot Chip from the wacky music video for their 2010 single, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GOZjlwIwfk" target="_blank">I Feel Better</a>". Well, now I also know that they also do a pretty nerdy synthed-up version of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=129kuDCQtHs" target="_blank">Dancing in the Dark</a>" by Bruce Springsteen. This cover of one of my favorite Boss jams includes an Everything is Terrible-esque music video and a sprinkling of LCD Soundsystem's "All My Friends" towards the end. A lot of this cover plus the music video seems overplayed at times but I still enjoy it for what it is; tacky.<br />
<br />
<b>Tigers Jaw - In Between Days/Kevin Devine - Lovesong <i>from</i> <a href="https://badtimingrecords.bandcamp.com/album/devinyl-splits-no-3" target="_blank">Devinyl Splits No. 3</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3674774480/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 120px; width: 100%;"><a href="http://badtimingrecords.bandcamp.com/album/devinyl-splits-no-3">Devinyl Splits No. 3 by Kevin Devine, Tigers Jaw</a></iframe><br />
Two sincere Cure covers.<br />
<br />
<b>Girlpool - Cut Your Bangs <i>from</i> Chinatown</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9RTFtkBMdIM" width="560"></iframe>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
This cover of Radiator Hospital's "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwT09YvQOrU" target="_blank">Cut Your Bangs</a>" from last year frequently came on while I rode to work on my new bike this summer. Every time I was completely floored by how genuine it was. I personally like both tracks equally but I can't help but think that this version here is a bit more accessible to folks who can't stomach Radiator Hospital's unique vocals. Hell, I'm already seeing videos of people covering this version titled "Me covering Girpool's cover of Radiator Hospital". </div>
<br />
S<b>omebody Kill Me Please - LVL UP <i>from</i> <a href="https://fatherdaughterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/faux-real-ii" target="_blank">Faux Real II</a></b><br />

The covers are that of fictional bands and singers from TV/films such as The Rutles, Sadgasm from the Simpsons, and The Blowholes from The Adventures of Pete and Pete. My favorite one of the batch this year comes from LVL UP and their rendition of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKNKVzVAqUk" target="_blank">Somebody Kill Me</a>" via the Wedding Singer. The original sung by Adam Sandler's character had been listening to a lot of The Cure at the time.<br />

<br />
Another cover from pop culture. Didn't listen to a lot of Sorority Noise this year and I wished I watched more Rick and Morty. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQP8_8UsZs4" target="_blank">Smash this link</a> to listen to the original.<br />

<br />
Another year, another Nirvana tribute album. Out of this year's covers of Nevermind curated by Robotic Empire, I had to narrow it down to the bonus tracks by Thou, especially "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7U_c1_EmV8" target="_blank">Even in His Youth</a>", as my favorites of the pack.<br />
<br />
Went with because even with Thou's own signature mutilation, there is still some poppiness that bleeds out from time to time. Well, maybe not "pop" per se, but it does have a little groove to it for a Thou track.<br />

<br />
Probably my favorite tribute album this year, Spazzin' to the Oldies is a 26 song nail gun full of grindcore nails to the face. This is a tribute album for the one and only Spazz. Spazzin' to the Oldies features some damn good grindcore/powerviolence/spastic metal acts from today such as Purge, Godhole, God's America, Brainshit, Chinsniffer and OSK (to name a few that I recognize). If I had to pick a favorite here, I would have to go with OSK's cover of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYLk1m0-t0M" target="_blank">Spazz vs. Mother Nature</a>" because it includes the banjo outre (no mouth harp, though, but I'll still give credit where it's due).<br />

<br />
Old Witch's interpretation of CocoRosie's macabre tale, "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiEqWYawpeU" target="_blank">Gallows</a>" is definitely my favorite kind of cover song. While there were plenty of true-to-the-original covers I heard this year on and off the internet, I always love a good rework of a song from a different genre or a song given new life. Isn't the whole point of a cover putting your own spin on someone else's work? Isn't playing a song exactly the way it was intended Karaoke?<br />
<br />
I'm starting to digress here for a sec but I honestly wish I could list Weekend Nacho's cover of "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT51Mbbnx1c" target="_blank">Tired of Sex</a>" by Weezer. Yes, Weekend Nachos covered Weezer this year. No, it was not the most violent retelling of Pinkerton's #1 hit known to mankind. Instead it was strictly "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu2Dsnvk6M0" target="_blank">Tired of Sex</a>" performed as Weekend Nachos playing Weezer. Well hey, there's also "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1HSsrAf6sc" target="_blank">In the Garage</a>", maybe they were just joking around and this is the Weekend Nachos cover I was expecting. Nope. Whistling and all, it's a great cover, but it's no Weekend Nachos cover. Then again, maybe my opinion will change once I get a grip. Maybe I'm just mad they didn't cover "El Scorcho".<br />
<br />

<br />
So it goes, this is Portland, Oregon's math punks - Duck. Little Brother, Duck!'s swan song. Together with Tokyo's emotional young men group, Malegoat, DLBD! give us one last taste of their incredibly busy and intricate punk music. Calling back to their first album, <i>Survival Is Not a Workout</i>, DLBD! add on to their quick-hit "Tony West" here with "Tony West Pt. 2". It's a very solid finale to one of the most interesting bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing perform live and support here online.<br />
<br />
But, it's only the beginning on the split; after DLBD!'s bombastic last hurrah there is still Malegoat's side to be explored. Malegoat's emo flair is both reminiscent of the Kinsella-wave emo revival here in the states and of Japan's own emo scene including bands like Climb the Mind and Folio. Malegoat have also released a split with the Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), a similar band making good modern day emo music.<br />

Some more killer stuff from the other side of the world.. this time from France!<br />
<br />
Potence are a new screamo band from Besançon, France featuring Aurelien Verdant of the incredibly influential '00's band, Daïtro! Verdant returns to his throat-destroying warpath on this 4-song demo that will sure to bring you back if, like me, you were a fan of his work in his previous endeavor. If you are not familiar with Daïtro, however, don't fret; Potence is still a bit different. Here, Potence are much more gritty with a third of the band coming from some sort of crust-induced music project.<br />
<br />
The other members' crusty projects include Geranium, Human Compost, and Black Code.<br />

Milano's always fresh screamo outfit, Øjne have teamed up with another European screamo outfit, Rainmaker from Eslöv, Sweden to bring you a two song split. It might only be two tracks each, but this is some top-level Euro skramz.<br />

<br />
Monoliths. play some experimental hardcore from Medway, Mass.<br />
<br />
<i>Black Santa Rides The Fire Train</i> includes six different covers from some of Monoliths.' biggest influences. There's Botch's "Transitions from Persona to Object" from the legendary album, <i>We Are The Romans</i>, Converge's intoxicating metal-banger "Sadness Comes Home", Infest's fastcore number "Terminal Nation", and one of my favorites by Self Defense Family, "I'm Going Through Some Shit". Hell, there's even a Cursive and The National cover that are both listenable and don't remind me of my embarrassing mixtapes I made in the 8th grade. Then there's the Death Grips cover. Probably the stand-out track, Monoliths. rendition of "No Love" featuring Charlie Mansion (not to be confused with Charlie Manson from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqcTVVUFnKQ" target="_blank">that other</a> DG song), is a reminder of just how powerful MC Ride's "noided" yell-rapping is and how well it can be turned in to a hardcore track. It might not be the same without Zach Hill's stomping electric drums, but it an interesting interpretation nevertheless.<br />

The Time has come for another great local release... the time has come to get STONED!<br />
<br />
Stone Tools are a barbaric thrashlords from the southern caves of Maine. The music that is played on Stone Tool's debut album is the kind of music summoned by riff gods using lightning bolts and ancient stone-based instruments. Don't believe me? Take a listen to <i>Stoned To Death</i> right now:<br />

From signing a lease on a house to signing up for classes for my senior year of college, this week was a crazy venture in the art of growing up. Luckily, Soda Bomb's <i>Wanna Jam?</i> was also released this week and right when I needed a bit of a throwback. While I've only been listening to this young (but still probably older than me) four-piece from New York for a year or two, their sound is very much a sound I was looking for when I was still in high school. That's not a knock on them or anything... <i>Wanna Jam?</i> just really brings me back.<br />
<br />
Soda Bomb's bumping angsty punk sound done right will definitely be on heavy rotation as I continue to grow the fuck up.<br />

Dying are an incredibly powerful metallic hardcore band from Philly. The four tracks here on this new release, <i>Broken </i>are heavily fueled by vegan/straight-edge/anti-lust views that make this already one-hundred-bricks-on-your-chest ripper even more chest-crushing. These views might not necessarily reflect my own, but when music is fueled with fire this strong, you know it's going to be intense. This is a must listen for fans of Converge, Cursed, Harm's Way, Full of Hell, etc.<br />
