LEATHER













Leather ride the perfect middle-ground between hardcore and grunge. This is dirty, fuzzy and pissed-off shit. Leather sounds like Pissed Jeans with John Joseph singing. Jade Tree just released the Sterile 7" and it fucking slays so go buy it (Jade Tree needs the money). Sterile is more melodic than Anchorite, but both are equally rad releases that are totally worthy of your precious time.

Jay Mass Kiss




Basically just J. and his trusted Martin acoustic guitar (there are no drums on this thing and very little electrified guitar). I've been waiting months to get this and it does not disappoint. Tender jams from one of my favourite songwriters. There are a butt-load of guests on this thing too, namely Kurt Vile, Kevin Drew and Ben Bridwell. I always knew J.'s guitar playing could melt faces, now I know it can also melt hearts.
