Song We Like: Thunderstorms and Wildfire by Lo Wray
Lo Wray of BROTHRS writes, sings, harmonizes, plays all the instruments, engineers and mixes this pretty pretty song. Lo knows how to write songs. This is gorgeous in its simplicity.

Song We Like: Rotten Mind by Suicide Generation
Beautiful 1977 punk. The song is an out of control race car that is shaking and billowing smoke and will probably blow apart.
Song We Like: Wooden Heart by Mink’s Miracle Medicine
The song rolls out slow, soft and mysterious, like a winter fog rolling into a valley at dusk. This a poet searching for a vocabulary that captures all the emotional truths of falling in love with someone and then cutting them open to build them a new wooden heart.
Song We Like: I Don’t Think She Cares by White Reaper
Hard rocking and snarling punk – plus an 80s video game inspired synth. You’ve stolen my heart. This is the perfect example of the global underground.
Song We Like: You Make Me Wanna Be Bad by Pale Lips
The Holy Crap Records Podcast is all about the art form of song – and this is a classic. It’s garage rock, it’s classic rock-n-roll, it’s doo-wop – like a dirty street hit from the late 1950s was rediscovered.
Song We Like: Who Puked In My Cup by Steve Hill
One of my favorite songs from the Godless America Records Vol. 6. This is a wonderful basement home recording with a massive acoustic guitar and distorted blown-out voice.
Song We Like: The Siren’s Song by Dangerous Goods
Dangerous Goods is one of the many music ventures of our friend Quinn Powers. Here he is all catchy pop and delicious beats and synth.
Song We Like: Give Me Metal or Give Me Death by Lavender Blue
Some of the prettiest, most beautiful singing. The evocative wanderings of the artist. “Give Me Metal or Give Me Death” is a graffiti slogan.
Song We Like: Killer by Ruby The Hatchet
It is so redundant to say that Ruby The Hatchet is bad ass. The riffs are killer, this is so tight, and the blues rock organ in gorgeous.
