Hey, want to find some web fiction sites? Last year during the early days of the pandemic I made a list of as many web fiction sites as I could find, to help readers find new stories to read (and to help writers find new places to post). Now that it’s 2021 and the scene has changed a bit, it’s time for an update! I’ll be defining “web fiction” broadly here. It includes prose stories, webcomics,…

10. Turnover - Peripheral Vision 

Remember when Turnover sounded like just another band that really wanted to be Title Fight? Well, Peripheral Vision is the album that Title Fight wishes Hyperview was. This album has a very distinct sound, crossing the bridge between emo and dream-pop. Turnover  have(ahem) turned over a new leaf and have learned how to build an incredibly atmospheric record. "Dizzy On The Comedown" sounds like it belongs on a million high school mixtapes. Occasionally, the songs can kind of blur together but that's kind of the asthetic of the record. Overall the record is just solid front to back and honestly is a really soothing listen, even if almost all of the lyrics deal with break ups, depression and anxiety.

9. The World Is A Beautiful Place And I Am No Longer Afraid To Die - Harmlessness

TWIABP is one of the biggest bands of the so-called emo revival but what they did on their latest LP Harmlessness was make a huge indie rock record. With sprawling soundscapes full of strings, horns, keyboards in addition to your traditional guitar/bass/drums rock set up, they've done something really special. Dave Bello has finally learned how to actually sing, which made the listening experience so much more enjoyable and they let keyboardist Katie Shanholtzer-Dvorak take some vocal duties on what is my absolute favorite thing TWIABP has ever done "January 14th, 2014". When she sings "But don’t you quiver/I am an instrument/I am revenge/I am several women" I get chills every time. There's a definite Modest Mouse influence on this record, which is always a good thing (especially since MM's record this year was awful). There's moments of extreme jubilation and crippling self doubt. They really run the gamut on this record. It might be the best record to come out of the emo revival.

8. Hop Along- Painted Shut

Have I told you about how much I love Hop Along? If not, have you ever actually talked to me before? Get Disowned is one of the greatest records of this generation, that's all I'll say about it because I can go on for hours. BUT Painted Shut is their follow up to that perfect record. Honestly, I knew deep down that I wouldn't love it as much as Get Disowned and that's totally ok. Painted Shut took a lot of ideas that Francis Quinlan and company were toying around with on Get Disowned and streamlined them into a pop record. As is usual with HA, Francis's voice is the main attraction. Her range is just phenomenal and I don't think there's another person on this planet that could sing these songs like her. Lyrically, she writes about some of the most unique things ever, like on opener "The Knock", which is about Jehovah's Witness's and how one visit emotionally effected Francis. "Horeshoe Crabs"is probably my favorite track on the record, it reminds me a lot of Good News era Modest Mouse, and Francis's voice absolutely soars when she sings "They used to find me pitching horeshoe crabs back into the sun." The only problem I have with the record is that it's nowhere near as adventurous as Get Disowned but I mean that's a very small complaint.

7. Kendrick Lamar- To Pimp A Butterfly

If Good Kid M.A.D.D. City proved that Kendrick Lamar is one of the best rappers of this generation, To Pimp A Butterfly has cemented him as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time.  Saying this record is ambitious is an understatement. It's nearly 80 minutes long, most of the songs deal with racial politics and during times when racial tensions are the highest they've been in decades, this a record that feels as important as any folk record that came out of Greenwich Village in the early 60s. The production flirts with free jazz, soul, rock and r&b in addition to your typical west coast Dr. Dre style beats. Kendrick raps in so many different voices, that if you didn't know, you might think that there's more than one rapper on every single track. Speaking of which, Snoop drops one of his best verses in a decade on "Institutionalized", which sadly doesn't sample Suicidal Tendencies. Some of the most powerful moments in music have come from Kendrick Lamar this year from the reveal of this album cover (which I assumed would be WAY more controversial than it actually was) to him performing "Alright" on top of a destroyed cop car while tattered American flags waved on the BET awards, which caused a minor shitshow for Republicans, to watching video of  Black Lives Matter protesters in Cleveland chant the chorus of "Alright" at the police. Simply put Kendrick Lamar has crafted one of the greatest and most important hip-hip records of all time. 

6. Beach Slang- The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us

After putting out two EPs last year, this was one of my most anticipated records of the year and it didn't disappoint at all. Beach Slang are basically punk rock Goo Goo Dolls and their lyrics are corny as hell but somehow they make it work so well. "Ride The Wild Haze" sounds like it was picked right off of Dear You and is easily the best song on the record. The entire record sounds familiar from the second you put it on, and that might be the fact that Beach Slang are a nostalgia driven band but whatever it is, it has me hooked.

5. Between The Buried And Me- Coma Ecliptic

BTBAM put out a fucking Queen record. Coma Ecliptic is FINALLY an album that I can show to someone who would normally be turned off by 90% of any BTBAM album and have them actually listen. Don't get me wrong, it' still heavy and still has blast beats and break downs but Tommy "My Name Belongs In A Comic Book" Rodgers utilizes his singing voice more than his growling one by like 60/40. There's tons of weird poly-rhythms and sweep picking but there's also a ton of piano on every track. There's lots of Pink Floyd-ish soundscapes that lead into straight metal parts. These guys might be the most talented band in metal right now. I mean, of course they're all freaks of nature technically but they can make someone like me who doesn't have an attention span for most albums over 45 minutes enthralled for a full 70 minute Rock Opera. 

4. Dollar Signs- Yikes!

Dollar Signs sound like a panic attack. The entire record seems to be about either being uncomfortable with growing up, getting dumped or having a panic attack, which is essentially what 2015 was for me. Singer Erik Button pours out his anxiety over every single song. He has a knack for getting away with making some of the most hilariously depressing lyrics I've ever heard like "If Kanye West feels alone sometimes, what hope to I have?". Also I think that "I Hope I Don't Fuck This Up" is the cutest god damn song ever written. "Holiday Inn" perfectly describes going to The Fest from "You're making out with a girl you just met, and then you stop to text your girlfriend" to the line about doing Shooies. I almost feel like this band is just singing about me. I mean they have a song that's hook is "I'm giving up on punk, Bomb The Music Industry! broke up." and a song about a 15 year old named Dan wearing a Cannibal Corpse shirt to a family function (I'm sure I did that at least once) but I guess every mid-twenties punk dude is exactly the same. This album is hilarious, sad and extremely cathartic. 

3. Shinobu- 10 Thermidor

Shinobu just straight up blew me away this year. For some reason I never listened to them or even knew that Mike Huguenor (of Hard Girls) was their singer(if I had known that I definitely would've listened). From the second I put the record on I was absolutely hooked. Shinobu have a very distinct meld of pop-punk and indie rock that almost sounds like it could've been sucked right out of 1996 alternative radio (think "Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger). Every track is better than the next. Opener "Untitled Micheal Haneke Project" laments watching your friends become successful, while you're toiling away in relative obscurity in the punk scene ("Does it ever pay to be true? I don't wanna be true. Please don't let this be true"). "Violence House" is another highlight. It's a song about parental (maybe sexual?) abuse that really reminds me of Combat Rock era Clash. After as serious and revealing as "Violence House" is, it's followed up with a song that would fit on an early BTMI! album, called "Jokes". The title track closes out the album in epic fashion, clocking in at over six minutes. Lyrically Mike Huguenor is as on point as I've ever heard him and musically there's not a single misstep. 

2. The Mountain Goats- Beat The Champ

John Darnielle is without a doubt one of the greatest storytellers in music history, up there with Tom Waits and Johnny Cash. His lyrics paint portraits of a couple falling apart, two kids who started a metal band, someone going to kill their lover, the story of his own life, but on Beat The Champ, Darnielle tackles a pretty odd set of characters. Beat The Champ is a record that is completely about wrestling. From Chavo Guerro to Bruiser Brody (and his untimely death) to characters that he just made up. This album just sounded fun from the first time I heard about it and it didn't fail to deliver. The Mountain Goats can be pretty morose and aren't a band that I usually associate with being a "fun" band but songs like "Foreign Object" and "Choked Out" simply are just that. The former being lead by thick brass and the latter almost reminding me a punk song. As bright and poppy as some of the tracks on here are, there are tracks that are just as dark as anything on Tallahassee. "Stabbed To Death In San Jaun" tells the story of Frank Goodish aka 70s and 80s wrestler Bruiser Brody who was stabbed by a fellow wrestler before a match. "Werewolf Gimmick" tells a tale of a wrestler who has taken kayfabe too far. The opening track "Southwestern Territory" may be the most haunting track on the entire record. It tells the story of every professional wrestler and musician: being in the only person awake in a vehicle on a desolate highway in the early hours of the night and reflecting on all the things you're missing ("I try to remember to write in the diary/that my son gave me.") Beat The Champ is the best record the Mountain Goats have released since The Sunset Tree.

1. Jeff Rosenstock- We Cool?

I can't really express my love for Jeff Rosenstock properly. Bomb The Music Industry! is one of my favorite bands of all time and his solo career has been a continuation of everything BTMI! was doing before they broke up. The themes are all pretty familiar but the musical ideas are all way more streamlined. There's not many bleeps or bloops, the first song "Get Old Forever" is the closest we get to a BTMI! song and that's totally ok. As usual Jeff Rosenstock goes the extra mile to incorporate a ton of genres. Some songs are straight up Weezer worship like "Novelty Sweater", there's a bunch of pop-punk ("Hey Allison) and "Beers Again Alone" is a country song with distorted guitars. I honestly don't think this guy is capable of writing an album that I don't love.
