At any point in time you may catch me watching television, usually an Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD, Comedy Central, or Cartoon Network. However, lately, I've been watching The Food Network almost nonstop. No, seriously. So with my diligent viewing of shows like 'Food 911!' and 'Inside Dish with Rachael Ray' I've decided to present you with the following recipe.

Title: Grace Gale 'A Few Easy Steps to Secure Heli-Camel Safety' Casserole

Categories: Casseroles, Cheese, Sassy, Shrieked Vocals

Yield: 9 Tracks of 'sassy screamo'

Ingredients:

1 lb of Sassiness via The Blood Brothers or ground turkey (Cook's choice)

8 oz of attempted post-hardcore

1 Onion (chopped)

1/2 Cup of disposable riffage

1 Can of tomato paste

1/2 Cup stupid humor

1 copy of any album from the discography of The Letters Organize (Cook's choice)

A dash of 'dance party massacre' - As noted in track 3 'I Don't Know How to Put This' But I'm Kind of a Big Deal'

1 pkg. Macaroni and Cheese

In large skillet, mix the Sassiness via The Blood Brothers with an attempt at post hardcore, onion and disposable riffage. Stir in the tomato paste with the stupid humor. Cook the macaroni and cheese according to package directions, adding milk, cheese, and the dance party massacre to the mixture. Cook on medium heat for 33 minutes and 49 seconds, or to an album length you desire. Sign to Blackout! Records, mix well, press to compact disc, and serve.

Tune in next week when I show you how to cook up a tough guy hardcore cake!

Nine Pound Hammer

Too Outlaw For Outlaw Country
Reptilian Records (2026)

For nearly forty years, Nine Pound Hammer have occupied a strange corner of American music that very few bands have ever managed to touch. They're too loud for traditional country, too country for most punk bands, too dirty for radio rock, and frankly too stubborn to care where anyone thinks they belong. That's exactly why Too Outlaw For Outlaw Country … Read more

Fuming Mouth

The Ringing Bell”
Triple B (2026)

There are plenty of bands capable of writing crushing death metal. There are plenty of bands capable of writing punishing hardcore. Very few can occupy both worlds without sounding like they're simply alternating between genres. Fuming Mouth have spent years refining that balance, and The Ringing Bell feels like the moment where every piece of their identity locks together. Anyone … Read more

Time Thieves

Come Home/If You Survive Extended Edition
Independent (2026)

Time Thieves, of Chicago, IL, bill themselves as power pop in the vein of The Rentals or Fountains of Wayn or Weezer in their bio and they double down on that with the smooth as silk, uplifting melody of "Cover Your Eyes," the first song on their Come Home/If You Survive Extended Edition LP that arrived on my doorstep, literally … Read more
