June 2025 round up

Hey all, really sorry for my absence in the past few months. There were too many shows happening this summer here (not complaining) and I think I was just getting burned out on music in general. Not to mention the crushing existential dread of daily life rearing it's ugly head. But, I am feeling better now and have been itching to get back to posting in some way or another. I'm glad to see things are still chugging along here, thanks to all in the chat for still hanging out, especially Kogi & Cockroach doing the Lord's work in the link chat. 

For the next couple of days, my thoughts were to post some monthly round-ups of things of interest that I have found from June-September. Some are free, some are paid, and to be honest, I think I'm going to start straying away from only posting free Bandcamp releases here. I don't post download links anymore in the main posts just to keep the blog a little safer from "the man", and between the chat here, Soulseek and streaming services, things are way more easily attained now. So, if I like something, from now on I'm going to just post it, free or not. We'll see how it goes. 

Oh, and one more thing, this is driving me crazy. Sometime before I went to the Toronto fest in June, someone in chat gave a great recommendation, for me specifically, in the chat. I believe it was a solo project, outside the US, if I recall the ID photo on Bandcamp was like a black/white picture of a dude in a hoodie? They had a new LP come out and it was great. Crusty, dark and full of Death N Roll just like I like. But, chat only goes back so far, and I simply can't find it on Bandcamp. I assume it would have been somewhere around April-May-June? But I have no idea at this point. Not sure if the guy/girl is still around or if they remember, but please comment if you do. But without further ado...
