Sarah writes: “Here’s a record of LGBTQ & feminist punk, indie, and electro based around the forums on the website strap-on.org, a website that was prominent in protesting the anti-trans policy that the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival has (had? – it’s still unclear). It was the first Banazan Records release in 2002.”

Brooklyn band featuring Angie Boylan and a heap of other talented lady musicians. I’m a bit late in posting this, but luckily their digital EP, recorded by Marissa of Screaming Females, just doesn’t get old. Enjoy!

Teenage Cool Kids

First up: Teenage Cool Kids! Wait, did you hear that? It sounded like the collective “DUH!” of a thousand indie music bloggers. I guess that as per usual I’m tardy to the party. Oh, well. If you didn’t already do this a year ago, you can download their demo at DFW DIY.

Solanin

Next up: Solanin! Amy Klein of Titus Andronicus wrote me a few weeks ago to share this short, beautiful digital EP, For the Sky, from her solo project, Solanin. It’s quiet and thoughtful; has been compared to Joanna Newsom and Neutral Milk Hotel in terms of scope and sonic epicness. And yet, it’s only about 20 minutes long. You can download it at Solanin’s Bandcamp site.

Lava Lava

Finally: Lava Lava! A now-defunct DC twee/”cuddlecore” duo featuring Amina Althea (better known today as Amina Baird of Layers/Quake) and Spoonboy (of The Max Levine Ensemble). I can’t explain how the acoustic/pop-punk/acapella/drum machine mess that comprises the bulk of their two longest releases, Hey Fragile and Tour Demo, makes such magic in my brain when I listen to it. If I could, I’d definitely rip off their formula and team up with Santi Gold and make a bajillion dollars writing adorable hits for Miley Cyrus or some crap. I think it goes without saying that if you were to look at the “Play Count” on my iTunes for this band, it would read: “∞”. My point? Go download them both: Hey Fragile and Tour Demo. Oh, and to be clear: while my Google-stalking of Spoonboy’s sexuality is inconclusive, Ms. Amina is a BFD/Q. So, there you have it.

Myles of Destruction
Doom Town EP (200?)

A Coffin Fits One
Mourning Sickness
Moth Curiousity
Betta

Sarah writes, “Check out Myles of Destruction, a guitar-less queercore apocalyptic metal punk trio from Philly. This is their self-released EP from early 00′s.”

To which I say, “YES, PLEASE!” and also “GIMMIE MORE!”
