Elizabeth Colour Wheel - Nocebo (2019) DEBUT LP

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

ELIZABETH COLOUR WHEEL RESEMBLES SO MANY THINGS YET HAS CREATIVELY MASTERED THEIR OWN STYLE OF SONGWRITING. I'M STILL CONFUSED BY HOW THEY DID THIS.

SHOEGAZE, SLUDGE, GOTHIC, DOOM, PUNK, EXPERIMENTAL ROCK. Very beautiful, dark atmospheric jams. Everything blends together precisely how it should. Wasn't sure what to expect when I first started listening, but I'm glad that this is what I found.

METZ - Automat (2019)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Toronto (ON, Canada) based noise punk band has released their 4th album Automat on July 12, 2019 through Sub Pop Records. EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED, ABRASIVE, FUZZY CHAOS. 

(FFO: Daughters, Butthole Surfers, Jesus Lizard)

METZ was originally founded in 2008 in Ottawa (ON, Canada). 4 years later in 2012 they were signed to Sub Pop Records, the same year they released their first LP (S/T). In 2015 they released their 2nd LP II. The 3rd LP Strange Peace released in 2017 was recorded by legendary Steve Albini (Big Black, Shellac). Over 10 years of music now this band has released their 4th LP Automat this year sanctifying them with 4 solid albums, which is more than I can say about most bands. Truly a great band. I'm always excited to hear new music from these dudes, hopefully they go another 10 years. 

Alex Edkins - guitar, vocals

Chris Slorach - bass, vocals

Hayden Menzies - drums
