I believe that Bosch's With You is the first Russian band I've sat down and actually listened to. I can't help but make the excuse that Russia is half a world away from where I reside, but on the other hand, the Internet has made it so easy for us these days.

This LP is the second in a trilogy series, just like Lord of the Rings! Okay, I had to throw that in there because to me Russia might as well be Middle Earth. The A-side contains one twenty-one minute monster, "Episode 3 (Hoarfrost)." This is a droning ambient track that lulled me into the most relaxed mood. "Episode 4 (Dreams that Come a Thing)" occupies the B-side and is more straightforward with its use of placid drumming - think Explosions in the Sky. Also tacked on is a live version of "Episode 1 (Dreams that Come a Thing)."

Overall, Bosch's With You has constructed a pleasant effort that is perfect for relaxing on a cool Summer evening. If anything, this recording has forced me to get off my ass and investigate the Russian music scene.

Nightfreak

Nightfreak
Big Neck Records (2024)

Semi-feral punk outfit NightFreak are back with a self-titled LP filled with breakneck riffs and 70s metal bombast. The Chicago group haven’t slowed down since 2022’s Speed Trials but they have filled out. NightFreak the album is lousy with warm back beats and melodic guitars; although, hardcore vocals and tight drums still reign supreme. Album opener “Blackout” is dead serious … Read more

Death By Unga Bunga

Raw Muscle Power
Jansen Records (2025)

I’m pretty sure I became aware of Mike Krol when The Whiffs posted about playing some shows with him. Krol is a bit of an anomaly. Not only is he on Merge and collaborates with Mac Superchunk- a dream scenario imo- but he’s also been elusive of my fan boy attempts at cold dm’ing him about stuff even tho we … Read more
