The Setlist for February 14, 2025


This week’s music features

Not news

A few records I’ve been looking forward to for a while out this week: The Velveteers, Truman Sinclair, Horsegirl and Winona Fighter among them.

Some layout changes to this post too. I got rid of the playlist embeds, they look awful, they slow down the page, and they don’t always load. You know how playlists work, you don’t need me to embed them.

It’s pushing the limits of ‘under the radar’, but the new Pup song is too good not to included. Plus Canadian, my site my rules.

Also it took me a while to place it but the riff in the new better joy song is “Black or White“. It’s a great song nonetheless.

Standouts

“Wrong Planet” by Ribbon Skirt
Great song, great sound, shout out to Red Lake – I have a friend from there. It’s far.

“off to the ESSO” by AYA
This is a journey in three and a half minutes. I’m exhausted just listening.

“Fuck it” by Punchbag
If you’re sick of me plugging this band, too goddam bad, watch this. I couldn’t embed the actual music video because it’s age restricted.
