“Sonic scrapbooks, audio montage, bedroom cuttings of riot girl and post-punk in all of their old and new iterations; this is the sound of black and white photocopied fanzines with frayed edges and still-hanging staples…”
Post Punk
Throw in some a big hits of industrial EDM playthings and some cactus jack flamenco, add some surfabilly moonshine with a dash of 90’s rave, and a fine spice of wonder, nu-shoegaze and garage and even some folksome shots of grandeur and we got ourselves the last ROTR Radio of the year.
So now we’re caught up and the cool songs are copulatin’, here’s the very best of October ’24. Right here’s the finest of submissions and send-ins.
“A myriad of ideas all burnt down to a crisp with a negligent sci-fi brevity. So compact are the sounds and the hits of impatience that it’s every post-apocalyptic film in one trailer…”
Creativity is Contagious. Right here’s the proof. Not just the making of Simesky and Fritch, but the thrill of meeting new minds all through music.
Being the Fritch of Simesky+Fritch I couldn’t with good ego go and write a review. But I can say it’s out now, and it’s been out for a while, and I really should posted this earlier!
“If this ain’t the best way to kick off this year’s noise then go back to your pram and your toys because Mumma, we’re spittin’ the rattle. It’s the rattle of new rock n’roll…”
“So here we are now in ’23 with the yet to land LP ‘New York City’. All the mess and the pump’s back in style…”
“So for drugs, booze and debauchery blues, all pumped out in squalor and speed, here comes all the above in abundance…”
So welcome to your sonics and sleaze. Dance like your last grind depends on it. This is the Best of ’22.
