Eau Claire is a very cool city here in Wisconsin. Xtine and I rolled through there on a road trip a couple of years back, mostly because my bladder was about to explode and we needed some snacks for our drive to Bessimer, MI. Wasn’t sure what to expect, other than maybe running into someone […]
Melodie by Slow Pulp
It’s been a while since I checked in with the Slow Pulp camp since their last release; we couldn’t get enough of them here at OKR ‘Yard’ and their show in the summer of 2025 at Cactus Club. Here comes their new release, Melodie, that just came out earlier this month…. Slow Pulp just keeps getting […]
Welcome to 20 Something by Reva K
Every once in a while, I have to take a break from all those hardcore, power-pop, emo, punk, indie, experimental/noise rock, etc. releases you’ve been sending me messages to review lately here at OKR, and review something from an up-and-coming artist you should know about. In this case, it’s Reva K who got a hold […]

Milwaukee’s indie dream popsters Creature Weather‘s debut album, ‘Moonlight Regions‘ has been out since July and we have been way behind on reviews lately so bare with us. After releasing single after single since 2024, and we are OKR can’t get enough, now we have this 13 track 55 minute album that makes you feel […]
It Goes On by Westside Cowboy
When someone hit our inbox with “check out this twangy indie rock band” and I almost just totally disregarded the email since we have been told to check out a band with that phrase, or something like it, in their press release over 1000 times in the last few months and most of those bands […]
American Pyramid by Graham Hunt
Graham Hunt has officially dropped his sixth full-length record, American Pyramid, out on Run For Cover Records. On this bad boy of a record, Graham Hunt gathered an eight-piece studio band, decamped to Minnesota’s famed Pachyderm Studio, and laid down a breezy, glorious storm of fuzzed-out power pop and hooky-ass indie rock. Graham just keeps […]
One Kind Radio Podcast – 8-14-26
It’s August, and our good buddy Jeremy stopped by to join in on the musical mayhem we like to call this podcast. I think we covered just about everything we didn’t plan on covering on this one so be ready to hear some pretty weird shit. DJ John B has just returned from getting his […]
2013 horsemeat scandal EP by Lonnie Gunn
Lonnie Gunn’s EP called ‘2013 horsemeat scandal’ is a fun fucking album that will have you bouncing around your place with some raw-ass, fuzzed-out rock’n ‘ roll with thick, wall-of-sound guitar tones, heavy distortion, and punchy/driving rhythms. Her vocal delivery shifts seamlessly between nonchalant, spoken-word swagger and gritty, belting hooks, creating a stark contrast against […]
Never Sleep by Continuals
There is something truly magical about the cosmic pipeline of post-hardcore music history. Just the other day, I was casually talking about how I have a signed poster from the legendary band Jawbox from years ago when talking about random bands and stuff at the bar and my buddy brought up to me that J. […]
Hoping as a Coping Mechanism by MOULD
This debut record, Hoping as a Coping Mechanism by Bristol’s finest noise-makers MOULD, is an absolute blast of visceral British punk energy that hits like a freight train of absolute rippers. From the very first needle drop, the band delivers a barrage of barbed hooks, punchy rhythms, and witty lyricism that kicks ya in your […]
