The viral duo from Québec continue to amaze and bewilder with their musicianship and tight-knit chemistry. With Vol. 2, #AngineDePoitrine firmly cement themselves in the landscape of #ExperimentalRock. #ProgRock #Microtonal #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

I’m live! Playing some more #DiddyKongRacing and spinning some #VinylRecords. Come hang out! twitch.tv/tridenttail

I’m going live! Spinning wheels and records, only now you can see me do both! #DiddyKongRacing #VinylRecords #Speedrun twitch.tv/tridenttail

#EverythingAllTheTime is a rare debut that can earn the respect of non #IndieRock, #Folk, and #Americana enjoyers thanks to energetic and anthemic songwriting, and a novel, ethereal approach to vocal production. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

We’re spinning wheels and records on stream today! Come hang out! #DiddyKongRacing #VinylRecords twitch.tv/tridenttail

The inaugural vinyl update with gallery images and stories is now live on the YCBMW blog! Go check it! tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

Big gains in the canyon today! #DiddyKongRacing #Speedrun 🏎️

#FlyingLotus' #BIGMAMA is a colorful, frenzied dash through an action-packed adventure. With energetic break beats, agile #Jazz runs, and tons of #VideoGame fanfares, it's a thrilling 13min project that is worth 'pressing start.' #Electronic #Chiptune #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

Back on the #DiddyKongRacing time trial scene! We’re ripping through the canyon today. twitch.tv/tridenttail

#U finds #underscores trading her maximalist world-building for a more focused #DancePop direction. While the production remains technically sharp, it lacks the eclectic whiplash that made #AprilHarperGrey previous work so enthralling. #Hyperpop #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

I’ve got a couple…

Congrats to @fire-toolz.bsky.social on their signing to the prestigious WARP RECORDS! Fire-Toolz has been one of the most mind-blowing musical experiences I’ve had so far this decade and I can’t think of a more fitting home for the artist. Really looking forward to their #Warp debut in May! 🎧

On their 2015 self-titled comeback record, #FourYearStrong proves that they are bigger than the #Easycore label; not by chasing the radio, but rather by chasing the next righteous guitar riff. #Pop-Punk #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

Been back on the #DiddyKongRacing grind as of late; specifically putting in work on #AncientLake. In the past three days, I’ve cut more than a second on my 3-Lap time and 0.4s off my best lap. I was ranked somewhere in the mid 20s but now ranked 13th. Not too shabby. #Speedrun

#NewVinylDay Otoboke Beaver - “Live at TakuTaku” + “Live at Fandango” Not one for live albums, but I’ve seen the Japanese #Hardcore #Punk #RiotGrrrl twice and they’re wild! Drummer Kahokiss is unfortunately leaving the band as well, so I wanted to have a document of her live presence too!

30 years in and still possessing every bit of their ferocity, #Converge continues to show how their status has endured. #LoveIsNotEnough is a dread-filled set that fuses classic-sounding metal with the chaotic intensity of the genre they helped establish. #Mathcore 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

On #femtanyl first outing as a duo, #MANBITESDOG offers a more expansive take on #DigitalHardcore and #Breakcore. Add in better vocal treatments that feature a staggering amount of detail, and it's easy to see this as a significant upgrade over #REACTOR. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

New blog post up on the site. It’s all about how #Norway 🇳🇴 is killing it on the rock scene right now. tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

#NewVinylDay 1/3 Motion City Soundtrack - “Commit This to Memory” Amazing #Emo #PopPunk record with peppy melodies and energetic performances that undercut themes of alcohol abuse, low sense of self-worth, and the toll it can take on relationships. 🎧

Aggressive, adventurous, and playfully unserious, #LÜT #Pandion is a brilliant crossover #Hardcore record that leverages a unique 3-guitar setup and the fact that 5/6 of the band can sing. #GarageRock #Punk 🇳🇴 #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

#KakiKing continues her creative streak with another EP of intimately produced, solo #Guitar compositions. More than 20 years into her career, #InfiniteAche demonstrates that her technical ability and expressive performances are still just as captivating. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

I’ve been really wanting to stream lately but it seems incompatible with my career. Part of me is wishing I pursued it full-time, just to see what would’ve happened.

#Honningbarna's Voldelig lyd is a short, yet filler-less #GarageRock #Punk offering that pays dividends thanks to sharp guitar work, fiery performances, and stunning band chemistry. The more I connect with this band, the more they give back. #Review 🇳🇴 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

#NewVinylDay 1/2 #NicoleDollanganger - “Natural Born Losers” 10 years ago, a good friend of mine asked me if I’d contribute some drums to a project. And that explains my name in the liner notes. Always surreal. #Slowcore #BedroomPop #DreamPop

Bro, why did I get into teaching?

Trading club anthems for rusted strings & dark ambiance, #CharliXCX delivers a companion piece to #WutheringHeights. While the songwriting occasionally hits a creative wall, the record's sonic world-building remains a testament to her artistic stamina. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

YCBMW has launched its blog section! Here you can find articles on review events, collection updates, curation pieces, and more. The first one highlights the recent string of double albums I reviewed. tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

In Norway, it’s not called “cross-country skiing,” it’s called “going to work.”

Fuelled by youthful wonder and arena-sized emotion, #M83 #HurryUpWereDreaming is a cinematic rush that still feels limitless years later. #PostRock #DreamPop #SynthPop #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

Happy Valentine’s Day to my man! 10 years together and still going. We celebrated us with a night of theatre.

What in the My Little Pony?!

Somewhere in #RedHotChiliPeppers' double album, #StadiumArcadium, is a solid album with funky, fiery, and serene tracks. Although, the highlights only account for roughly half the album's runtime. The other half is made up of long-winded, stagnant jams. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

Christmas #Vinyl Haul #TheArmed - “Everlasting Gaze EP” The A-Side really got me on bored with this band in a big way. “New!Christianity” and “Martyr Song” are among the chaotic #Hardcore band’s best. I reviewed this one a little while ago: tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa... 1/3

The EP is out now! eventhetrees.bandcamp.com/album/did-yo...

Dang I was going to stream full-time starting tomorrow, but I suddenly received a full course load for the next school semester. Sorry, teaching maf is just more lucrative.

New Even the Trees tomorrow! #Mathcore #PostHardcore #SadCore eventhetrees.bandcamp.com/album/did-yo...

I made a cheeky little bass playthrough video of the teaser track to #EvenTheTrees upcoming EP. I tracked this years ago, have since left the band, and thought this would never see the light of day. Did You Ever Feel Good? 01/30/26 youtu.be/1JH7flmYruQ?... #Mathcore #PostHardcore 🎧

New Even the Trees in 2 days. #PostHardcore #Mathcore #Swancore #Frogcore 🎧

3 days until new Even the Trees music.

New Even the Trees in 4 days.

On their last album, #Unwound defy expectations with more experimental songwriting/production. Instrumentally, #LeavesTurnInsideYou is beguiling, but Trosper's vocals are not given the same careful consideration, severely detracting from the enjoyment. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

I think Geese understood the assignment last night. 🔥

This 2-hr double album from #TheSmashingPumpkins is engaging all throughout thanks to an ever evolving tracklist that starkly contrasts the band's #Grunge and #DreamPop elements, as well as some incredibly bold and adventurous sonic detours. #Review 🎧 tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywa...

My old band, Even the Trees, dissolved rather ungracefully a couple years ago, right on the verge of finishing an EP. Now it’s coming out on Jan. 30th. Below are some thoughts:

Because I loved that Honningbarna album so much, I’ve started to go back and listen to their older albums. As a result, Apple Music has started recommending a bunch of awesome Norwegian bands. Had no idea 🇳🇴 got down like that! 🎧

@noreset.tv for the Canadians!

I made significant updates to the music blog today that I’m very excited about! Still some responsiveness tinkering, and I have some more ideas I’d like to implement so keep on the lookout. Otherwise I’m excited to get back to talking about records. tridenttail.ca/youcanbemywave
