Little Lebowski Urban Achievers are a slightly indie and extremely drunk pop-punk band that, when I actually leave the apartment, I've shared beers with more than few times. Three songs slow rock ditties fill up this slab of wax, everything is played simple and never overpowering. It's a bit melancholy with a biting sense of sarcasm. It's like saddling up to the bar at some no name dive and having the best conversation of your life with a new found friend. Raise your glass and sing along to broken hearts, stumbled walks home, and hangovers. In case you are turntable deficient Is This a Party or an Intervention? comes with a burnt CD with some extra tracks including the best song title of all time, "John Olerud Hasn't Changed in 10 Years."

It's an album that's equally about … Read more

Art Brut

Sorry, That It Doesn't Sound Like It's Planned! Battling Satan, 2009 - 2020
Edsel Records (2025)

I’ve never reviewed a box set before but Art Brut released my favourite sprechgesang anti-art-punk album of the early aughts so I figured I’d give it a go. 2005’s Bang Bang Rock & Roll placed Art Brut among the “Art Wave” scene but was more post-punk revival than “Indie Sleaze”. Argos has cited Jonathan Richman and Axl Rose as his … Read more

The Slow Death

No Light To See
Don’t Sing Records (2025)

Few bands have as fitting a name as The Slow Death. They play forlorn, self-deprecating punk that’s heavily influenced by lonesome country. The music itself is more driving and punchy, but many of the lyrics would fit just well in a somber old-timey country ballad. It’s forceful music that punches inward instead of at The Man. The first song is … Read more
