Bandcamp Friday Snags

Jake in the Desert reminded me earlier that it was Bandcamp Friday with 100% of company proceeds going to LA fire relief, so I picked up a couple things I’ve been both anticipating and eyeing for a while.

First, I grabbed the new release from FACS, Wish Defense, which dropped today. I absolutely love this vibe and FACS has been in heavy rotation into my earholes for a while now. This new record picks up where they left off and I recommend it if edgy, angular art rock is your thing.

I also picked up this record from Neighbors Burning Neighbors, a politically progressive post-hardcore outfit from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Completely digging the layers, texture and intensity on this one.

Lastly, my boy JV turned me on to Ligatures, an energetic and mathy post-punk outfit featuring x-members of some influential Pittsburgh bands like Crucial Unit and Pressgang. Their latest full-length A23a is very good and brings me my fix of palm mutes and riffage.

All in all, a solid haul.
