A scorcher this #MusicWomenWednesday - some raging hardcore punk via the new 'Apparitions of War' EP by local (to me) Phoenix, Arizona band YELLOWCAKE. Some rough, fast songs here, as usual. Only 5 songs, none even reach the two minute mark. Love it. Listen to this one in less than ten minutes. 🔥

It's #GrindayFriday, and this week is local Phoenix, Arizona grind/powerviolence duo LAW ABIDING CITIZEN and their 2024 EP 'For the Culture' via No Time Records. The separate tracks of the EP have all been merged into one here-- just over 10 minutes total. Great riffs, brutality, insanity, a few samples that actually still crack me up (Carrey and Farley). A lot to dig on this one.

INSANELY great #ThursDeath this week-- been waiting for this one. MISANTHROPIC are local Phoenix, Arizona boys and they just released a MASTERPIECE of a debut LP yesterday. This thing chugs and rips in all the right places. And it ends with a Sabbath cover. Death metal rarely gets better than this. If you like death metal even a LITTLE, give this a spin.

Discovered this KILLER local Arizona band the other day called Gemm- they kinda remind me of Hum or Catherine Wheel in that kinda 90s/early 2000s heavy, guitarry super melodic rock way. And the dude's voice is great. Are they shoegazey? Maybe. But not super slow. They're really worth a listen.

This is their newest stuff, their Summer Promo '23: https://gemmrockaz.bandcamp.com/album/summer-promo-23
