LATEST REVIEWS N' STUFF:
Saw You Out with the Weeds by Suitor
Suitor’s first LP, ‘Saw You Out with the Weeds‘, is the kind of record that makes you want to buy a vintage leather jacket so that you can gloomily lean against a brick wall. This is a masterclass in gothy post-punk that feels like a fever dream shared by Siouxsie Sioux and Sonic Youth while they’re trapped in […]
Hymns From The Hills by Poison Ruïn
If you’ve been looking for the perfect soundtrack to accompany your inevitable descent into a feudal nightmare, Philadelphia’s Poison Ruïn has finally heard your muffled, chain-mailed prayers. Their latest offering, ‘Hymns From The Hills‘, is exactly the kind of “scythe-swinging aggression” you’d expect from a band that makes Dungeons & Dragons sound like a legitimate labor strike. While […]
Heaven 2 by Lala Lala
Lillie West, the creative mind behind Lala Lala, has officially traded the Midwest chill of Chicago for the sun-drenched sprawl of Los Angeles, and her latest release, Heaven 2, perfectly captures that “new city, who dis?” energy. Out now on Sub Pop Records, the album feels like a masterclass in what happens when an artist […]
Clementine by Ladybird
If you haven’t yet let the sweet, Midwestern melodies of Ladybird’s latest record, ‘Clementine‘, wash over you like a crisp lake breeze on a humid July night, you are truly missing out on Milwaukee’s premier “not-quite-famous-yet” band. Released as a follow-up to their debut, this album is a total “hell yeah” from start to finish, living in that […]
Ultra Dundee by Bad//Dreems
Bad//Dreems has finally unleashed ‘Ultra Dundee‘, and it is a glorious, gritty masterclass in Australian rock that feels like the band reaching their absolute peak just as they’ve announced an indefinite hiatus. The album is a sweaty, poetic collision of post-punk energy and storytelling, with standout tracks like the blistering “Night Shooting” and the anthemic […]
Hope Machine by Johnny Society
It is truly a full-circle moment to see Johnny Society return with such a strong showing in 2026. At OKR, we’ve been championing their sound since our very first streaming radio shows back in the late 90’s, when tracks like the hypnotic “(Soul) Invite Me” and the raw, acoustic-driven “Everyday” from their breakthrough album ‘Wood’ […]
