A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS - Rare and Deadly (2026)

 

Just released beginning of April. It's a new release of mostly previously unheard songs recorded between 2015 - 2025. Technically it's not their new album of the band from New York but it works like an album.

The wall-sound of A Place to Bury Strangers cannot leave indifferent who, in the '80s, loved Jesus and Mary Chain and that sound.

On the Bandcamp page of the group, the summary of the album is very well summarized "This collection of B-sides, abandoned experiments, and forgotten fragments reveals the band at their most unfiltered-caught between breaktrough ideas and beautiful mistakes "

NEUTRALS - New Town Dream (2024)

 

Neutrals are an American band from the San Francisco Bay Area. Theirs is a nostalgic post-punk or, depending on how you interpret it, can also be considered an interestind result of the new indie scene. This "New Town Dream" is their third release after the debut "Kebab Disco" in 2019 and the EP "Bus Stop Night" in 2022. The songs are short (less than 3 minutes), catchy and easy. Wheter you consider it  a "revival" or an "innovative sound" i like it and I consider this a good release.

SHRIEKBACK - Jam Science (1984)

 

 

I bought my copy of this album a few years ago at a record fair (10€) and I have to say I always enjoy listening to it. The album is from 1984 and I define the genre as techno-funky, even though Shreikback are classified as "new wave". The band is still active and released their new album "Monument" in 2025. I have to say I prefer Shriekback from the '80s, even though their style and voice remain unmistakable. Here I'm posting a version of Jam Science, not a rip of mine but taken from the web.
