1. ‘Dinner Dates For The End of Days’ by SCARVES (Seattle, US)
Crackling math-rock emo-punk with twisted echoes from Pavement‘s self-willed havoc to Parquet Courts‘ piercing chants. Very intense, heavily compelling and multiple layers to discover. Trust me, give this impressive album a couple of spins and you’ll be hooked.

4. VOL. 4 by BIKINI BEACH (Konstanz, Germany)
Imagine Black Sabbath going viciously punk. These German motherrockers produce a sonic tsunami of fierce guitar firework, deafening killer strokes and electrical in your face slams. At times they slow down only to come back harder, meaner and louder! Towering score!
