I understand that @HailsandAles has dubbed it #WhiplashWednesday and at first I wasn't sure if I was going to listen to much metal today, but who am I kidding.

A KILLER grind (powerviolence?) band I discovered thanks to @Easydor that I've had on all afternoon (seriously, EVERYTHING they've done is GREAT) that I won't even save for a GrindayFriday is the super weird ONA SNOP from Leeds.

If this doesn't give you whiplash, I don't know what will.

Was actually able to grab a couple things for #BandcampFriday today. Wanted to support some small artists- purchases today go towards helping with the California wildfires, too.

Here's what I grabbed. Next couple years gonna be INTENSE for art. Angry/hopeful stuff:

First, I grabbed the WHOLE (small) discography of a killer band I just discovered-- Ohio antifascist punks NO HOLDS BARRED. ALL their stuff is great. This is the EP that hooked me. Check their other stuff- love the other album covers.

I've talked about Brighton, UK's PLASTICS on here before, and today I grabbed their promo from last year,
https://plasticsrockers.bandcamp.com/album/promo-24.

Finally, I grabbed the EXCELLENT 'What's Write EP' from a few years back, when rapper Gorgeous Jefe was still known as Malick McFly & got together with Rey, Nat Gem etc as Tuscon, AZ collective TWELVOTWO to put this out in 2021.

Happy Halloween, freaks. This week's #ThursDeath is perfect for today.

GRAVE GHOUL is from the UK and they just put out this 'The House of Dead Flesh' EP. It's badass. Gross and growly and gruesome. It starts out with a dude being interviewed about maniacs who see the Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Sets the tone. Great cover art, too. Won't disappoint fans of crazy horror death metal.

You need wake up music for a Monday. Today's wake up music is Gold Cup. Yet another band from Manchester, this is fuzzy garage psych punk something or other.

Gold Cup put out 5 song EP 'Beyond a Joke' on October 8. It's catchy and punchy and weird. Highly recommend.

Bonus #ThursDeath as I just discovered these guys and they're incredible.

Easily one of the best death metal EPs I've heard from this year, behold 'Dead Flesh Architect' by Manchester's ACID VAT. I kept looking up from my work because of how badass this is. It RIPS. The drums, the vocals, the guitar work, the songwriting, the dynamics, ALL of it.

Acid Vat is a death metal band to WATCH.

MONALISA TWINS
"NOW AND THEN"

Now And Then - MonaLisa Twins (The Beatles Cover)
MonaLisa Twins

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oolqq932QvA

This great Beatles cover currently is neither available at Bandcamp nor at Amazon.com. So, enjoy it here at YouTube. The MonaLisa Twins are true Beatlemaniacs.

I first learned of the MonaLisa Twins and I first learned of this video, "Now and Then," from my college roommate, Gary Olsen.

Posted under Hashtag MonaLisaTwins because these two also do original music.

My music collection includes several versions - usually faithful covers - of Buffalo Springfield's classic "For What It's Worth." This performance by the MonaLisa Twins is my favorite of them. The Twins are REALLY good at what they do.

The Love Triangle are a band from the UK. They have this album from 2013 called 'Clever Clever' and I've been listening to it on and off for a couple weeks, trying to figure out what it reminds me of. Can't find out a ton about them other than it's the singer of the Shitty Limits.

Today, it hit me. They sound like Herman's Hermits, a little more punk. That is, catchy songs, fun. Man, I love Herman's Hermits. So naturally, The Love Triangle is fantastic. Someone else said they're kinda like Buzzcocks. I like these guys BETTER than the Buzzcocks. Check em out, see if you agree.

The Beach Boys did this with five voices and as many and diverse instruments as they wanted, while the MonaLisa Twins performed the same arrangement with two voices and two guitars. I admire the MLTs big time for pulling this off so well.

Anybody ever hear of Atomic Suplex from Croydon, UK? This album '14 Inches of Fist' is from 2015, and I'm just hearing it today for the first time. EVERY track is a ripper. This is a SOLID garage/punk record. I mean, damn!

https://atomicsuplex.bandcamp.com/album/14-inches-of-fist

I mentioned Plastics briefly a week ago on a post with a couple other female-fronted bands, but I figured since it's #MusicWomenWednesday, they deserve a dedicated shout out.

This is punk rock how it should be done. A SOLID album that sounds amazing- I've listened to it a lot this year. Plastics are from Brighton and they put out 'Plastic World' three years ago. Just 6 tracks, fast-paced, fierce and ferocious.

Hope they do more- this is so killer.

https://plasticsrockers.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-world

Heard #MusicWomenWednesday is a thing now, and the first band that came to mind for me is Ladytron. I've loved them since I first heard their first album '604' when it came out in 2001. 'Playgirl' is so catchy and infectious, it INSTANTLY hooked me. And their cool voices!

Ladytron has had so many amazing songs since, too, like 'Seventeen', and 'Deadzone' (a warning for this one, I didn't link the video here, it is VERY strange and dark, just search for it if you wanna see, kinda like how their video for another of their newer songs 'The Island' is also weird, they've gone a wild direction lately that I dig, but I'm sure it's not for everyone).

These two of their videos are rad and totally TAME, though - and worth a watch, because they are GREAT:
