This ten song record from 2023 is already an underground classic. Is it surfy new wave punk? Punky Disco? Whatever it is ITāS FUCKING GREAT. Lira Mondal is the vocalist I want to hear everyday singing every song. The obvious musical comparison might be Pylon, but thereās also a poppy Romeo Void vibe that Iām fully addicted to. The best record of this year and it came out last year! hahaha!

š¢twee and minimal with lots of cute vocalizations. funny that their debut was a kind of generic shoegazy pop album because this is a totally different direction.
also, someone else already mentioned it, but the upcoming Wednesday album will almost surely be an album of the year contender. the singles are my two favorite songs of 2025 so far, and their last album (Rat Saw God) is a 10 for me. shoegazy country with lyrical themes of grief, love, loneliness, and Southern living.

this used to rank low for me in the discog save for their best song (Grounded) appearing on this record but i feel its finally clicking. maybe the most expansive/adventurous indie record of the 90ās

Okayyy hello another one of my fav songs!! I am trying to be more purposeful with my reviews from here on out.. I got recommended this song through le algorithm. In like 2022, I started listening to more shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock, idk what ever this genre is (genre is marketing tool anyways). So I'm glad this song made it into my feed. 2020-2023 worse yrs everā¦ I got to listen to music all day at my office job, so I found a lot of good music. I listen to sad music when I'm sad, and I was realyyy sad š¤£Crazy Town made me happy:) Definitely a feel good song for me, it never gets old! I fuck with Velocity Girl šÆšÆI love that around this time in the 90s small bands were getting picked up by college radio stations (which ppl should listen to more often) Sub Pop was also in its prime, and Velocity Girl got picked up by them. The album that this song is on, Copacetic, is spectacular and was recorded in less than a week!!! P good for a debut alb šš»In most songs it's the guitar that really gets me before the vocals or anything else. I like that the guitar sounds like ācleanā shoegaze. Its sounds so epic to me the melody is also catchy and simple yet it gets the job donešš»Her vocals are so soft and sweet šļøits also easy for me to sing in the car (bad singer) Canāt help the urge to jump up and down and go crazyyyyyy while listeningšBrings me joy<3 Honestly thats all I got for this review it just sounds awesome nothing specific..š¤ŖAlbum art also goes crazyyy fuzzy colors and genius text placement?... I likešAlso classic one girl in a band of boys

š„I would say this is super listenable Political Punk, but I hate the idea that great bands with normal ideas like equality for everyone are āpoliticalāĀ when really itās everyone else who is being boring as hell while upholding the status quo. Lambrini Girls are way too musically wild and way too fun to be tied down to all these words anyways. Even better lyrics than Idles and I really like Idles. I know itās not a competition but if it wasā¦.Take a deep dive into their interviews on YOUTUBE. You will not regret it.

šøLike a great musical compilation that features a ton of different styles. From fiction by Honeychild Coleman and Hanif Abdurraqib to several great Roundtable Discussions called āNo Whites on the MicāĀ that cover topics like how to start a DIY collective, whatās happening in the punk scene NOW and self care. I came for the great writing and the bands but came back again to fully enjoy the amazing comics and photos. This is one of those must have books like āBanned in DCā and āShotgun Seamstress; The Complete Zine Collectionā.

šµIām a sucker for complicated yet repetitive percussion, single note guitar riffs and great singing so this is kinda like the perfect storm for me. There ās a track called āsingingā where Fabi Reyna talks about how she didnāt want to sing because she thought it would take away from her as a guitarist. I AM SO GLAD SHE GOT OVER THAT!!! Her voice is gorgeous, smooth in a Sade kinda way but even more intimate. Like youāre sitting on the couch while sheās singing in the same room! Iām absolutely desperate to hear these songs live.
