- F.Emasculata – Bright Lights, Drilled Teethby simon
So, I don't know too much about this Cornwall, UK hardcore band. But just like me, they seem to be into the TV-series X-files. And fast hardcore-punk.
"F. Emasculata" is the name of the season 2 episode 22 from 1995 of the X-Files.
Having members from bands such as Rash Decision (latest release "Iron Coffins" in 2024) and Swansong (their latest one is "Happy to be Here" in 2022) it's not the members first time to have a go at it. That's obvious. It's all well played fast and nice hardcore-punk.
“Bad Blood” kicks off with ”Mulder killed a vampire", so the X-Files things seems like kind of a solid take from me.
I really like when things sticks out, and, unfortunately, female musicians in hardcore does. I wish there where more of them; in bands, at shows, at labels.

Just a quick update to let you know this site isn't dead. Added two more albums to the skatepunk list, and I've an idea for a new list as well, to be published in 2025. I'm super slow, I know, but new things will keep coming out.
- The best of 2024by simon
So, the tradition of me publishing the best 10 punk albums as well as the 10 best EPs/7″/singles that were released on Spotify in the last year continues. I bought more old records than I listened to new ones last year, so probably missed a bunch, but it is what it is!

10 best EPs/7″/singles of 2024 - Destroy Boys – Funeral Soundtrack #4by simon
I first heard them on their "Open Mouth, Open Heart" album released in 2021. I though it was kind of cool, rushing punk at times, had a feminist swing to it (without actually digging deeper into that), but I left it at that. It didn't stick to me, and I left it there. Did they deserve it? Maybe not.
However, then comes "Funeral Soundtrack #4" this year, and it's not that too much have changed, but whatever the reason this time it got me stuck to it. They have gotten slower, less classic punk if you will. I tend not to like that. But in this case I do. We have some pop-punk stuff in "Plucked" and some more well written melodic stuff in "You Hear Yes".
I don't know that is a great record, objectively speaking, but I find it interesting enough and a great listening to, proved by me having listened to it back to back a couple of times and I'll be listening to it a few times more.

I added what to me was the best 10 punk albums of 2023 as well as the best punk EPs/7"/singles of 2023 available on Spotify. I wouldn't say it was a great year for releases on that platform alone, but there was for sure some goodies you should check out!
