Re: Albums you should like but don't
Most American hardcore punk particularly those best of Rodney on the Roq compilations, well now ROCK and but I might hear something that catches my ear every now and than.

That new Angelica single from Wet Leg, quite angelic. Even better than Chaise Longue. That they keep postponing but release a new single per postponement announcement, judging by these singles alone, the postponement is only adding to the intrigue. Quite the strategy. Can’t wait.
