Over at Best Fit, I wrote about Deleter, the new Holy Fuck record.
It’s a solid effort. You’ll enjoy it more if you like how they’ve progressed since their first album.

Album Review: Pizzagirl | ‘first timer’
I wrote about Pizzagirl’s debut LP, first timer, for Best Fit.
It’s a splendid album, and one of my favorites of 2019.
Album Review: Violent Femmes | ‘Hotel Last Resort’
This is (more than) a little late, but oh well.
Wrote about the latest Violent Femmes record, Hotel Last Resort, for Best Fit.
It’s a fun record. It’s not great, but it’s good and worth checking out.
Oh, and once again I’m featured on Metacritic:
Album Review: Laura Jane Grace & The Devouring Mothers | ‘Bought To Rot’
Really, really enjoyed Laura Jane Grace’s solo debut record. I wrote about it for Best Fit.
Album Review: The Primals | ‘All Love Is True Love’
I scribbled a few words about The Primals’ debut album for Best Fit.
It’s good, not great. If you like Mudhoney and the Toadies, you’ll like this.
Album Review: Teenage Wrist | ‘Chrome Neon Jesus’
I wrote about the debut LP from Teenage Wrist over at Best Fit. It’s easily my favorite album of 2018 so far. If you like Siamese Dream, check this out.
A behind-the-scenes note on this piece. I set up two rules for myself: 1.) No mentioning other bands in describing what TW does, and 2.) No song titles.
Album Review: Brian Fallon | ‘Sleepwalkers’
Over at Best Fit, I did a short piece on Brian Fallon’s second solo LP, Sleepwalkers.
If you like Fallon’s classic rock worship, you’ll like pretty much anything he’s ever done, including this new record.
Here, he throws in a few new flavors to his Springsteen-isms. It’s not a great album, but at least give the fun lead single “Forget Me Not” a try. That, or you could just check out his slightly superior first album, Painkillers.
