recently watched ‘since yesterday: the untold story of Scottish girl bands’ on bbc iplayer and definitely found some cool bands i’d never heard of including lung leg! an indie rock/pop-punk girl band from the 90s influenced by post punk and riot grrrl and i feel so cool listening to them. id recommend the song maid to minx as an introduction then if you like listen to the rest of the album also titled maid to minx. also love the album cover!!

If you like punk music at all this is a must watch!! Here's the blurb:
Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hoped of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vru_cgNnNv4&t=1077s)
This documentary kind of changed my life I can't even lie to you, and their album ...for all the world to see is really masterful work.

i just got home from seeing bad nerves at the regent in la and it was one of the best shows i’ve been to in a while... we made it to barricade which was fun and i got kicked in the head by someone crowdsurfing which made me feel young again (im 25 lol)
if you like fast-paced garage punk with good catchy melodies, you neeeed to check out bad nerves

I’m about halfway through it, but so far it’s been really informative and interesting. It’s all about the birth and evolution of the indie music scene in the US, with an emphasis on punk, post punk, noise, emo, and what we would now broadly call “indie rock.” Each chapter is dedicated to a different band, highlighting influential acts like Black Flag, The Minutemen, Minor Threat, Fugazi, and my current hyperfixation: Sonic Youth. Check it out and buckle in for a pretty long and wild ride through the history of indie rock.

there’s something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause it’s like a look into what they’re like alone
seeing how they walk when they’re by themselves or their expression when they’re just going about or looking around

discovered this song after it came on in the credits for the film the outrun and it’s literally so good
the start literally hooks you with the crazy cool and unique accordion
then the rest of the song is also amazing i love the bittersweet feel of it with the line ‘this is the day your life will surely change’ that most people can relate to when you swear to yourself you’ll break your bad habits to make a better life for yourself, deciding that THIS will be the day youll change but you could say that any day again and again and never actually do anything to change or stick with it
