There are some bands that are just the sum of their influences and nothing more. These bands trade off their name dropping and ability to sound like their favourite bands but at the same time do nothing of any real originality. These bands seem to just be happy to follow in the footsteps of the bands before them and not make any waves knowing that they have an audience already there for them. Creeping Weeds are on of these bands.

Sounding like the sort of thing people that are far too pretentious for their own good would create, We Are All Part Of A Dream You Are Having (to be called WAAPODYAH from now on) is a mix of ambient, electronic and acoustic sounds that people that like to pretend to only listen to challenging music seem to like. A bit of fuzz here and a bit of strumming there makes WAAPODYAH a dull and almost too predictable album for this writer.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad album, it's just not a good album and one of many forgettable albums you'll hear throughout a year. The lifeless and almost unemotional vocals all blend into one and before you know it the whole album has flashed before you and gone forever, never to be remembered.

Full disclosure: I’m only reviewing this because Aesop from Hickey plays drums. That said, I generally only review stuff I like, so go figure. This doesn’t sound like Hickey but since … Read more

Dealbreaker

New Sides
Late Again Records, Toll Free Records (2026)

Dealbreaker popped onto my radar as part of a package tour with Pro Wrestling, who cold called me with a Penske File namedrop. This story is a bit of a Canadian roundabout, but their methodology worked: I listened to their music and dug it enough to review it. And I'm mentioning it because, at times, Dealbreaker reminds me of The … Read more

The Library Is On Fire

Degeneration Elegies
The Abyss, Ltd. (2026)

There’s a certain kind of band that never quite fits the moment they arrive in. Sometimes too jagged for one scene, too melodic for another. The Library Is On Fire were one of those bands in the early 2000s, hovering somewhere between indie-punk urgency and power-pop instinct without fully settling into either. On Degeneration Elegies, their first full-length in over … Read more
