I figured I'd be in for some weird and different sounding metal with Zweizz when I first looked at the cover of The Yawn Of A New Age, which is just a black metal-looking logo

.in pink. Zweizz, real name Svein Egil Hatlevik, was also a member of Dodheimsgard, a rather off-beat, avant-garde black metal band from Norway, so that also gave me some hope. Imagine my surprise when the music started and it wasn't metal at all, just some electronic/techno/noise what-have-you. I'm not an authority at all on those genres because I really never listen to that type of stuff; all I know is I don't like this album. It's not my thing. It's boring. And I'll never listen to it again. If you're more open-minded than me, go check out Zweizz. Maybe you'll get it. I don't.

Playa Nuclear
Alternative Tentacles (2025)

DFMK have been playing since 2009, but Playa Nuclear is just their second full-length. It kicks off with exactly what I expect of the band in "Mi Rutina" -- a driving punk song with lots of high energy, guitar-driven bridges; Mr. Cap on vocals and doing near-splits between songs; and a general melodic flow that balances nervous energy with a … Read more

Action/Adventure

Ever After
Pure Noise (2025)

Chicago’s Action/Adventure have been grinding the pop-punk trenches since 2014. They have always played pop-punk like it still has something to prove because for them, it does. They went viral in 2020 on TikTok with their song “Barricades” by calling out the exact thing no one in the scene wanted to say out loud. The genre is full of white … Read more
