Best of 2019 #7: Necking - Cut Your Teeth (Mint Records)

Vancouver remains ground zero for many exciting underground bands and Mint Records keeps finding them and signing them to record contracts. For this, we can be eternally grateful. Necking are a no-frills, nothing-fancy style grrl punk band. Well maybe a bit of post punk and garage and Motown girl-pop in there too, but still... This is, um, balls-out angular punk, much like what Sleater-Kinney were making in their youth, before they became all introspective and corporate and shit. Listen to this band, buy their album, keep 'em around to keep kicking in our teeth.

Best of 2019 #8: Girl Band - The Talkies (Rough Trade)

Girl Band, Ireland's answer to the Jesus Lizard, took their time putting out a follow up to their 2015 debut, Holding Hands with Jamie, and it shows. This album is a finely crafted mashup of punk, demented noise rock, electronic drones and offkey screaming. Their first album was a paean to noise rock and one of my favourite albums of 2015. This album shows the band branching out into new territories, like electronics, while remaining true to their weird noise-rock core.
