“Cough Up Cherries” with Kill Birds in the Run Up to 'Married'

It’s no secret — we love Kill Birds. Their 2019 self-titled debut was a gorgeous encapsulation of indie rock and punk that mystified and gripped us. While the record had its more deeper moments, the pervading score was like a fog slowly rolling in, slowly consuming.

Surfbort’s 'Keep on Truckin’': A Weird, New, and Awesome Record

Straight up: Surfbort's latest LP Keep on Truckin' is a galore of odd, funny, and droning lyricism floored atop of a congestion of deep guitar riffs and distant drum-blows. Entrenched in this weird record is a merit of cautious technique and buzzing infection. Like an ear-bug, Keep on Truckin' nestles itself in your ears and fucks shit up.
