Album Review: Master Manipulator by Native Daughters
Album ReviewsBig, huge, massive sounds, made more enormous by their adherence to perfect rhythm. The best double drum kit sound ever. Get your metal on! Our favorite song: Sleep Lump(reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
Album Review: Full Length Album by The Flora Ways
Album ReviewsUncomplicated, joyful, well-written, badly-produced songs that make you want to jump around. We can’t wait to hear more from this band. Our favorite song: Fruit Punch (and Cowboy’s Getting Laid Tonight. And the one about Memory) (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
Album Review: Deaf Dogs by Bundles
Album ReviewsGreat songs with insane amounts of energy. Bundles has got to be the most underrated band in the world. We love that thing you do! Go! Go! Our favorite song:The State of Seattle (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)
Album Review: The Lamb by Lala Lala
Album ReviewsWe’re in love with this song. The music references minimalist post punk with dark emotional truth telling, and then explodes into the chorus “you are the reason, you are the reason my heart broke behind my back.” Our favorite song: Destroyer (reviewed on our #19 podcast, Honest Expulsions)

Album Review: Lemon Memory by Menace Beach
Album ReviewsSome art for ya. Weird sounds and great songs. Lovely vocals and a giant sweatsuit. Highly recommended. Our favorite song: Suck it Out. Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po
Album Review: Catholic School by Joey Sweeney and the Neon Grease
Album ReviewsReally intelligent, very listenable and indeed danceable music from Philadelphia. We don’t find it Dad-like, we find it role-model-like. Our favorite song: Baptized in Vibe.Reviewed on our #18 podcast: Po
