10 tracks of sneering psychedelic punk streaked with Chrome-damaged freak-outs and snotty power pop harmonies chronicling sex doll love affairs and glue-sniffing fatales. Mixed by guitarist Mike Kriebel - an accomplished engineer with dozens of credits across the punk, goth, and garage underground - the album is dense, rich, and spatial, spurred by reckless abandon. Shadows of Chrome, Stickmen With Rayguns, Japanese psych, and loud-quiet-loud grunge anthems flicker here and there, but ultimately VR SEX's mode is more sardonic and saturated, oscillating between ripped leather riffing and space echo meltdowns.

Since first forming in 2014, New York trio Thick have triumphed at turning the harshest truths into wildly exhilarating punk songs. On their second album Happy Now, vocalist/guitarist Nikki Sisti, vocalist/bassist Kate Black, and vocalist/drummer Shari Page deliver their most complex and confessional work yet, exploring everything from self-sabotage and insecurity to victim-blaming and destructive relationships. Raw, irreverent, and brutally honest, Happy Now ultimately offers both joyful catharsis and much-needed instruction for living well in turbulent times. The follow-up to 5 Years Behind (a 2020 release praised by Under the Rader as a "dazzling debut album... laced with anger, humor, killer guitar riffs, and soaring punk melodies"), Happy Now finds Thick working again with producer Joel Hamilton (Iggy Pop, Juiceboxxx) and recording at Studio G Brooklyn. In a profound evolution of their previous work, the 11-track album encompasses sharper arrangements and stickier hooks and a more explosive energy-an effect often achieved through the sheer force of their three voices singing in unstoppable unison.

Original Vinyl LP pressing of the 2013 sophomore album from the Oakland-based quartet Wax Idols. Discipline + Desire embodies a dark, full, twisted sound: something that feels more appropriate to the foggy, damp British climate than that of sunny California. Compared to their debut LP, Discipline + Desire is more a group effort as the whole band contributed to the recording and writing process. Discipline + Desire was produced and engineered by Monte Vallier (of Half Church and Swell) and co-produced by band leader Hether Fortune. Mark Burgess (of the British outfit the Chameleons) worked alongside Wax Idols and Vallier as an extra pair of ears and even played bass on the album closer, 'Stay In.'
