Words: Patrick Flynn
My time to seek out new music right now is very limited. My home’s being de-leaded so I’m staying in my friend’s house with my two-year-old son and my eight-months pregnant wife in a one-bedroom apartment. But that means the things that do stand out are so much more significant. It’s primarily hardcore bands, but I’m still a proponent of getting a range of ideas and people in the room. There’s a lot of human diversity in the bands I’d like to set forward but, just as importantly, they’re bands that I generally think are good and have really caught my attention.
