#MusicWomenWednesday this week is this hooky song 'Jumper' by New York's BLOOD OF THE BULL. Great, unique melody, catchy, heavy, dig her voice. They've done some singles and EPs- would love a whole LP of this.

New single 'Spitting Image' by NYC's TARANEH has kind of a Portishead meets Elastica, Breeders, or Veruca Salt kinda feel, so obviously, I love it.

Iranian-American singer/songwriter Taraneh Azar is behind this, and her other stuff is cool too, but this song is really up a notch. It pops.

Bonus Photo of the Day 2 9th May 2026.

New York-based Madame Mayhem and her band on stage at Club Academy, Manchester, 1st November 2017.
My only memories of this band were thinking she was trying too hard, and that I was bored and couldn't wait for the next band, whoever they were.

#ThursDeath this week is a classic. This is 'Ritual of Infinity', the only full length released by Middletown, New York's MORPHEUS DESCENDS, in 1992.

https://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ritual-of-infinity

This is the re-release that Dark Descent did in 2023. 'Ritual of Infinity' is a great, twisting, winding OSDM classic with tons of crushing guitar chugging, basslines, great drums, and cavernous, roared vocals.

My favorite punk album of the year so far. Can't stop listening to this one. It's just January, but this one's gonna be tough to beat in 2026. These are Buffalo, New York oi punks TAKER, and their new LP 'Sons and Daughters':
https://taker-oi.bandcamp.com/album/sons-and-daughters

Oi but Ramones. I also hear All, Dag Nasty, Black Flag, maybe 7Seconds sometimes. Catchy, hooky, badass. A Guided by Voices cover and a Jenny Woo guest spot. πŸ”₯

Great new catchy, brief, punchy EP by Brooklyn garage punks DR. DENCE. Almost has an Aussie pub rock feel, but like, yknow, in New York. It rips. Four great, fast, fuzzy songs.

Four fast, weird songs on this EP from 2025 via Buffalo's synth punk freaks HAVANA SYNDROME. Love the guy's voice, he sounds totally unhinged. I love singers that sound unhinged. πŸ˜‚

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is an intense one-- new EP 'Bite the Hand, Take What's Mine' by Buffalo, New York's BILE STUDY.

https://bilestudy.bandcamp.com/album/bite-the-hand-take-whats-mine

This is a sturdy about ten minutes of riffy, angry powerviolence (think punk and grind). Singer Delaney is extremely passionate about her family, as attested to in the last song, where she insistently screams about 'the people I love'. Killer shit.

One I somehow missed last year and may have even made my top 20 because of how damn good it is, NYC punks KALEIDOSCOPE and their LP 'Cities of Fear' that was written and recorded in just a few days in 2024. Some KILLER, catchy, rough, angry hardcore punk the way it SHOULD be. ffo MDC, Poison Idea, Crucifix.
