Meanwhile, on September 12, Guerilla Toss released their fifth album, You’re Weird Now. Produced by Stephen Malkmus, the album embodies an avant-garde spirit that NYC has become known for. Describing themselves as “experimental dance punks,” Guerilla Toss delivers a collection that feels like a wild art rock experience. The unpredictability of the tracks ensures that every listen reveals something new.

The lyrics reflect a strong sense of hometown pride while exploring the complexities of urban life. This album is a deep dive into identity and conflict, making it a must-listen for fans seeking substance alongside sound.

Also on September 19, Scorpion Milk released Slime Of The Times, a fierce anarcho-punk album described as “defiantly danceable songs for the end times.” This collection features sharp, chaotic sounds reminiscent of 80s horror punk.
