Came across her in a recent tiny desk concert, checked this out, like it, sharing it. More indie, less alternative but still really good.

[Fresh Album] J Mascis - What Do We Do Now (jmascis.bandcamp.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/alternativenation

What Do We Do Now is the fifth solo studio LP recorded by J Mascis since 1996. This is obviously not a very aggressive release schedule, but when you figure in the live albums, guest spots, and records done with his various other bands (Dinosaur Jr., The Fog, Heavy Blanket, Witch, Sweet Apple, and so on), well, to paraphrase Lou Reed, “J's week beats your year.”

[Fresh Album] Vera Sola - Peacemaker (songwhip.com)

I'm enjoying this new album from Vera Sola. It's something a little different for me. Kind of has a classic country western/folk feel. But with a lot of cool orchestration and intense moody vocal delivery.

Fun fact: Vera Sola is actor Dan Aykroyd's daughter.

RA!D is playing with the strangely cool Major Pie, along with the 80s hardcore stylings of World Breaker up in Wilkes-Barre, PA at Curry Donuts on Saturday, Feb 3, 2024.

What the f*** is up Curry Donuts?!

The album is very bass-heavy. One of my favourite songs is "Coming or Going": https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=hh_rbKUEbzU
