Chat Pile live is so ridiculous. I didn't expect it when I saw them in November

What surprised you the most about their performance?

rambling about films about or from the city we were in, having no set list/asking crowd to pick songs

the shirtless 'dancing'

overall I was more suprised it became one of my favorite sets of 2024 if not my favorite. I just wasnt expecting stage presence like....that

If you aren't listening to Prostitute (Detroit) yet - why?

new feeble track has a cool noise section, reminds me of the armed - ultrapop

Not a clue if this guy is in other bands, he must be, but it appears this whole project is all by one guy out in Brooklyn. "A joke that went on for too long" is apt for this record An Act of Violence (released January 7th 2025), which includes a heavy influence from modern slam bands with its egregious sample use, though is far more lyrical in a sense as it actually stands for something other than trailer park thotties and 40oz malt liquor. Very similiar to Full of Hell who also occassionally drowns themselves in noise. NY

Prostitue
Label: independent

Bandcamp: prostituteband.bandcamp.com/album/attempted-martyr
Merch (JUST released): deadair.store

With middle eastern themes heavily relevant, this Detroit band released Attempted Martyr which The Needle Drop Melon F*** apparently reviewed and gave an 8/10 which is what I would rate it too. It's a great album, but I definitly disagree with the idea that they're the best new hardcore band in Michigan right now (though that record is a top 10 Michigan Hc record of the past couple years). These guys are already blowing up day by day, especially with their charged Pro-Palestinian performances. They are starting a small 3-stop tour this weekend I believe.

These guys have been around for awhile but still releasing great music. Their most recent is pretty easy to get into.

excellent job curating @op

I had forgotten to post about the new chat pile live album

One of the best live records I've ever heard. Which makes sense, they are easily one of the best bands I've seen live

Vinyl orders are not live? I've been seeing ads on insta though.

I think they sound best on cassette so I'm hoping they do that, I've got the rest of their discog in that format already
