Theft World by Lip Critic
Lip Critic’s ‘Theft World’ is a frantic and chaotic blend of digi-hardcore and dance-punk that refuses to sit still, managing to be both abrasive and incredibly catchy. Listening to it makes me feel like I’ve just downed three energy drinks while attempting to solve a Rubik’s cube in the middle of a strobe-lit warehouse rave, […]
Dirt by Jim E. Brown
Jim E. Brown’s latest offering, Dirt, is a gloriously messy exercise in musical self-flagellation that somehow makes wallowing in the mud feel like a spa day. Released on May 8, 2026, the album is a chaotic blend of synth-pop and spoken word poetry that sounds like a fever dream had by someone who spent too […]
Dancing On The Wall by Muna
MUNA’s fourth studio effort, Dancing On The Wall, is a shimmering, synth-drenched masterpiece that proves being well-adjusted is overrated but being well-produced is mandatory. Emerging from the glitter-cannon blast of their 2022 self-titled record, the trio has returned with a “pop world built with teeth,” trading some of their previous optimism for a deliciously anxious […]
Cost of Living Adjustment by Cola
The Montreal trio Cola delivers a definitive statement in post-punk with their latest effort, ‘Cost of Living Adjustment‘. Following a string of highly praised releases, this record finds the band at their most refined, blending abstract sensibilities with production that feels as intentional as a gallery painting. Listening to this album in the backyard as […]
Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right by Real Farmer
Real Farmer’s ‘Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right‘ is some killer modern post-punk that hits like a shot of adrenaline. This album manages to capture a rare sense of playful energy while maintaining a gritty, sharp edge that feels both fresh and brings back memories from back in the day. It is a sonically diverse […]
Wired by Basement
Basement’s return with ‘Wired‘ is some kick ass fuzzed-out, emotionally resonant rock that feels like catching up with an old friend who spent their decade-long hiatus perfecting the art of the 90s-inspired riff. The album captures that specific brand of “crying-in-the-mosh-pit” energy the Ipswich legends are known for, but with a refined, mature edge that […]
One Kind Radio Podcast – 5-8-26
It’s May…. and it’s still cold outside for some reason. At least things are heating up at all of our music venues and bars once again!! I filled up my car with a half-tank of gas on Monday cause I was not sure if this gas is gonna get any cheaper any time soon, and […]
Look For Your Mind! by The Lemon Twigs
‘Look For Your Mind!‘ by The Lemon Twigs is essentially a time machine fueled by glitter and high-waisted trousers, proving that the D’Addario brothers are still the undisputed kings of retro-pop perfection. This album finds the duo leaning into a psychedelic, guitar-driven harmony sound that is so lush it makes the 1960s look like a […]
Clipping by Special Friend
‘Clipping’ by Special Friend feels like two best friends decided to turn their living room into a fuzzed-out dream-pop laboratory, and the results are brilliantly addictive. This French-American duo manages to take the “less is more” philosophy and turn it into “less is actually everything,” delivering a record that inspires you to hunt down a […]
High Speed by The High Curbs
These Chino legends have spent a decade as the kings of the backyard mosh pit, but ‘High Speed‘ sounds like they finally traded in the dented van for something with a turbo engine and working AC. It’s loud, it’s fast, and it’s got enough hooks to catch a week’s worth of dinner at the Santa […]
