Sup, discharge danglers! We hope you’re all keeping well. Welcome back to another podcast episode, wherein we ramble for a couple of hours about some music we’ve been enjoying for the past several weeks. Granted, most of the material covered in this one dates back to February/March 2022, but we hope there is a neat find or two awaiting you in the discussion.
We cover releases extending from The Callous Daoboys and Artificial Brain to Spider God and Drug Church. Balmy grungecore, sludgy noise rock, rambunctious hardcore punk, and bludgeoning black metal but scratch the exterior of what’s blathered about. Below you will find the full list of what we cover throughout the episode’s duration. Timestamps are provided for each single, EP, or album, in case you want to jump to any particular segment of the conversation.
If you have some artists, albums, singles, or any other form of musical media you’d like us to consider for an upcoming episode, please feel free to send us an email or reach out at one of our various social media channels. Thank you all so much for your continued support!
