@markwyner Sweet Mark. Except for Little Simz, I don’t know any of those bands. We might have some overlap on taste though. Here’s my list from 2022: https://www.iracummings.com/top-10-albums-2022-edition

@irafcummings thanks for sharing. As you with mine, I only know one record on your list. I love The Chats. I listen to “Get This in Ya” a lot. Looking forward to spinning records from your list.

@markwyner Oh man, The Chats. Unreal how fun they are and I just need that sometimes.

@markwyner I’m really liking Cape Fade, Charley No Face, Gat-Rot, Linqua Franqa, and Wrong War. Thanks for putting them on my radar!

@irafcummings sweet! Some notes:

Cape Fade is one of the best records I have heard in a long time, but way too short. I spoke with the primary songwriter and he said they’re working on more.

I don’t understand how Wrong War doesn’t get more attention. They’re unreal.

Gatrot are among my closest friends. Our bands played together for years. They’re great.

Linqua Franqa is Mariah Parker. She was elected to office and swore in on the Malcom X autobiography.

@markwyner Wow, super interesting stuff. The bit on Linqua Franqa totally changes my perspective. I’ll have to re-listen with that on the mind.

@irafcummings Gatrot just released a lyric video for their track on my list. Thought I’d share because you mentioned liking them:

@irafcummings of course I know Jack White. That record is pretty good. Same with The Chats.

Some others I’m exploring from your list are Sick Thoughts (though to me it feels more Buzzcocks than Ramones), Marlowe, and Wet Leg.

@markwyner Good stuff. IMO it’s the best record Jack White has put out in a while.
