Minot – Walls / People Pleaser
Missoula’s Minot unleash Walls / People Pleaser, a scrappy lo-fi garage punk 7-inch that pairs fuzzed-out workplace despair with a deranged slice of 60s pop. Dual songwriting, DIY charm, and percussive chaos make this Lathe Cut a beautifully unhinged listen.
Danny Brown – Starburst
Danny Brown returns with Stardust, a hyperpop-leaning, chaos-fueled new LP out this November. Lead single “Starburst” is a rave-thumper featuring Frost Children’s Angel Prost, produced by Holly. With a star-studded underground collab list and a glam-superhero look, Brown’s latest chapter is set to be gloriously unhinged.
The Sophs – Death in the Family
The Sophs dive headfirst into guilt, grief, and fuzzed-out confessionals on their haunting new single “Death in the Family”. A blistering slice of alt-rock catharsis that sounds like Weezer having a panic attack in a church basement.
Viagra Boys – Viagr Aboys
Swedish mischief-makers Viagra Boys are back with Viagr Aboys—an album of raw post-punk satire, sweaty sax, and meaty riffs. Murphy’s dark humor slices through modern absurdities. Dive into this chaotic sonic buffet, and get your meat on. Read the full review at sodwee.com!
Queens of the Stone Age – Alive in the Catacombs
Queens of the Stone Age: Alive in the Catacombs isn’t just a live session—it’s a full-blown descent into the underworld. Filmed in July 2024 deep beneath Paris, this once-in-a-lifetime set sees QOTSA reworking their catalog for an audience of millions… of skeletons.
Wet Leg – CPR
Wet Leg crash back onto the scene with “CPR,” a deadpan love song that kicks off their new album moisturizer (out July 11). With chaotic charm, a wild music video, and fresh tour dates, the band proves they’re bolder, weirder, and funnier than ever. Indie rock just got revived.
The Grogans – Social Cue
The Grogans are back, firing on all cylinders with “Social Cue”. A fuzz-drenched, drum-pounding anthem of frustration and defiance. It’s raw, riff-heavy and irresistibly loud. Their fifth album Stagger drops May 23rd. Crank it up, catch the live clip, and get ready. The Grogans aren’t slowing down.
Gum Parker – Two Subarus
Sonically, Gum Parker leans into the scrappy, jangly corners of indie rock—think ‘90s college radio meets early-2000s DIY basement shows. It’s loose but intentional, catchy but unpolished, with just enough punk bite to keep things unpredictable. Gritty, hooky, and made to be played loud. Listen to Two Subarus via Sodwee.com
