You know the drill. On Bandcamp Friday, all the proceeds go directly to the artists! April 5 is the next Bandcamp Friday. Here are some picks! (My write-ups are fewer this week because I’ve been sick.)

• Discothèque – “It’s Not a Sin” maxi-single Dark synth pop from Andy Kubiszewski (Stabbing Westward, The The, etc.) and Andrea Becker.

• Ride – Interplay

• Trailer Swift – Variant Find Trailer Swift competing tonight in this year’s Boston’s Rock & Roll Rumble. Prepare yourself by purchasing their 2023 release. Note: I’ve known the singer since kindergarten, so I’m biased.

• Water Is the Sun – Water Is the Sun EP

• Ministry – HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES

• Mannequin Pussy – Mannequin Pussy The eponymous debut from the Philadelphia band.

• The Fashion Weak featuring Miki Berenyi – “Fly Fishing” A must for any Lush fan.

• Launder – “Half-Life”

• Hard Skin – Why Do Birds Suddenly Appear Another must for Lush fans, this compilation also includes a track with Miki Berenyi. Plus: Manda Rin from Bis!

• Blushing – Possessions The third Lush must. Miki Berenyi also appears on this album! (Yes, I searched for her on Bandcamp and this is the result.)

• Elisapie – Ballad of the Runaway Girl

• The Jesus and Mary Chain – Glasgow Eyes “Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course.” – Jim Reid via Bandcamp.
