Go! (CALIFORNIA) - "Impact" (2006-2007)

A complete discography release for Edge Day 2025. The wrong vocals on this really make it. If dude's friends actually drank, maybe they'd have the courage to tell him "Hey, maybe you're not the guy to be a vocalist in a hardcore band"

IMPACT, by GO!

Sweet Baby - She's From Salinas

It can definitely be argued that these guys were Budget Rock adjacent.

NEW RELEASE

NC Five (FRANCE) - "Nanas Bam Bam" (2025)

From Nantes. They're going for a Budget Rock thing, but don't quite pull it off in sound, album cover or band name. Still passable,though. I tell ya,this kinda reminds me of "She's From Salinas"

NEW-ish RELEASE

Sunny Bear Forest (CALIFORNIA) - "Plane Krash" (2025)

Came out in April but I missed it. Billy Childish-type riff w high-pitched nasal vocals. Is good.

NEW RELEASE

Cheap Fix (TEXAS) - "Soul Tune" (2025)

New fucking James Arthur song! I've expanded and expounded many times on here about how embarrassingly much I dig the works of one Mr. Arthur.

Listen to it!

LIVE AT THE DUKE OF ENMORE, by Dial Up Modem

Rapid Adapter @rapidadapter.bsky.social · 3d

The moral of the story here is: get out of the bedroom and make friends with a drummer.

Rapid Adapter @rapidadapter.bsky.social · 3d

NEW RELEASE

Dial Up Modem (AUSTRALIA) - "Live At The Duke Of Enmore" (2025)

I THINK this might a fake live record. But whatever, it's another in the long series of Egg-Punk bands that, in a live setting, are actually just really rocking Garage-Punk bands.

Cannonball, by Cannonball

Rapid Adapter @rapidadapter.bsky.social · 3d

This one is the best of all three. A lot of this stuff comes down to the vocals and guitar tone...and if the drummer doesn't do too much Metal-Guy shit.

Cannonball (ENGLAND) - "Cannonball" (2025)
