Issei Sagawa – All My Best Lovers Were Pre-Teens — Youth Attack, 2006

Issei Sagawa is Flipper-inspired annoying punk rock that tries to offend right down to the full sized poster of the members of the band peeing on each other in the insert. Issei Sagawa sounds like every misanthrope's first band right down to the shit recording in some dude's garage. I didn't even bother flipping this over and listen to their "story." Apparently this is sold out already, so you can start offerings tons of money and women for because I got one on white. Why you would want this is a whole another story.

Pyramid Scheme of Grief
59X, Disconnect/Disconnect (2025)

This is one of my "find" records of the year so far. I caught a few songs by The Carolyn at FEST 22 and that essentially put them on my radar, but a new record gets a band even more on my radar. But I've been struggling on how to describe The Carolyn. I'll start with "like The Lawrence Arms, … Read more
