With each album, Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore are further approaching the end of the world. There is no documentation of how Morten Gass, Thorsten Benning, Robin Rodenberg left Mülheim an der Ruhr, how they buried their own past as hardcore legend 7 Inch Boots, and how they began to explore the boundaries of…
From the frayed loop of San Diego s white belt 90s scene, Boilermaker provided a subtle counterpoint to the Gravity-obsessed post-hardcore landscape. They called it Leucadia-core, a hybrid of major chord riffs, emotive yelps, angular bass chug, and pounding rhythms, building and releasing with the Swami tides. Not Enough Time To Get Anything Halfway Done…
From Jeff Rosenstock: The grand scheme of this whole thing happened as it was being written recorded. I realized that a lot of ideas that I have never happen because I can t think of a good way to write them down. Then after I DO write them down, I don t remember EXACTLY how…
Full of punk, ska, humor, seriousness, confusion, hate, love, and every idea that Jeff Rosenstock has ever had, ever.

In this wake of Bonnie Prince Billy s soul-affirming (shattering?) Master and Everyone, the Prince took a year or so to gather himself before the Letting Go. Stock was taken and a bunch of greatest Palace songs were rerecorded in best classic style, with a crew of Nashville studio wreckers smoothing down the edges. The…
