[thisaintascenereviews]

Every music fan knows the struggle of having too music to listen to in any given year; there are almost always a handful of albums that come out each week, and it can be hard to keep up. Aside from that, there is also a lot of music released that doesn’t warrant much of a reaction. Not that the music itself is bad, but a lot of albums are uneventful in the sense that they don’t need a lot to be said about them. Sometimes all you can say is that an album is good or bad, but the problem with being a music critic, writer, or whatever you want to call yourself is that if you need to write something or make a video about an album, you can’t just say that and call it a day. When I wrote reviews more full-time, versus sporadically like I do now, I wrote pieces on everything I was listening to, regardless of what I thought and how much I had to say, but that is one major reason why I got burnout from writing. I could only say so many times that I didn’t have much to say about something, but I’ve circumvented that by every now and again putting out a review that’s more or less a much of blurbs about albums that I don’t have much to say about, but I still want to talk about. My last review was kind of like that, where I talked about a few albums that were very similar, but still different. Today I wanted to do something like that, only instead of dedicating a paragraph to an album, I wanted to write a few sentences about a handful of albums that came out recently within the last few weeks. I call this “Speed Round Reviews,” and I may do this once a month or every other month when I listen to enough albums that I don’t feel the need to dedicate an entire review to. These albums are not connected in any way, shape, or form, and they’re all albums I’ve listened to that have come out recently.

The Band Camino - The Dark

If you’re an alt-rock fan, you already know who this band is, because they’ve been around for years, but The Band Camino is seemingly trying to go for broke with The Dark, their first album in two years and post-pandemic. This record is a lean half hour slice of pop-rock / alt-rock with some slick hooks, solid guitarwork, and nice vocals, but the lyrics leave a lot to be desired and is the main reason why I haven’t listened to this album as much as I would like. They range from decent to really bad, and I’m not usually a stickler for lyrics, unless they’re that bad, and some of the lyrics on this are sort of painful, but at least the album is nice to listen to, so if you “turn your brain off,” you may get something out of this.

Caskets - Reflections

British metalcore band Caskets are geared up to be the next big thing in their scene, especially with newly released sophomore album, Reflections. I’m late to this band, but I really enjoy metalcore bands that incorporate pop, hard-rock, electronica, R&B, nu-metal, and other various kinds of rock and metal into their arsenal, such as Issues (RIP), Wage War, Archetypes Collide, and I Prevail, but Caskets is a band that’s poised to cross over. Their vocalist has a great voice that can really pull off pop and R&B sounds, but can also pull off metalcore and hard-rock sounds. Their debut album featured more passages that had straightforward pop and R&B elements, whereas Reflections dials that down a bit, only to focus more on the metalcore, hard-rock, and pop/electronic sounds, but this record is a short burst of catchy, melodic, and well-written crossover hard-rock and metalcore that is sure to win over fans of these types of bands. Reflections won’t blow your mind, necessarily, but it does a fine job with what it’s trying to do.

Hail The Sun - Divine Inner Tension

I’ve gotten very jaded, tired, and bored of the post-hardcore sub-genre known as “Swancore” over the last decade or so, which was named for the specific style that Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Will Swan utilizes, as a lot of these bands that have popped up in that time all sound the same. I thought the band Hail The Sun was part of that wave, as they got big around 2014, and I was never a fan of them. With a lot of these bands breaking up, and/or falling into obscurity, their new album, Divine Inner Tension, is very surprising and refreshing. It reminds me a lot of bands from the mid-00s with very frantic, energetic, and fun guitarwork with some catchy hooks and solid vocals, akin to The Fall Of Troy, and this is the kind of progressive post-hardcore that I used to enjoy way back in the day. It’s not revolutionary, but the guitarwork is wild, the vocals are surprisingly really good (he reminds me a LOT of Circa Survive and Saosin vocalist Anthony Green), and they throw in a few breakdowns and harsh vocals for good measure that hit harder because they don’t show up often.

Starletta - Neon Cowboy

The Internet is a beautiful place, because I found Nashville synthwave artist Starletta with his debut album, Neon Cowboy, through Tik Tok. This is a catchy, slick, fun, and still sad pop and synthwave album that takes a lot of notes from the 1980s. If you love 80s pop, you’ll love this album. His voice is fantastic, and the lyrics are pretty sad and “emo,” but you’ll be singing along to a lot of these in no time. I look at this album as being a story of a person getting over a breakup, only to find happiness with somebody new at the end. The album even has a bit of a country feel on a few songs, which makes sense considering the title, and it oddly works. Also, alt-rock band Glimmers makes an appearance on the closing track that feels more joyous and happy, and it’s a damn good feature. They could make a pop album or EP and it would sound great. If you enjoy pop, alt-rock, or bands with an 80s aesthetic or influence, you’ll probably really like this.

Bearings - The Best Part About Being Human

Canadian pop-punk band Bearings is back with their third long-player, The Best Part Of Being Human, and this might be their best album. This is more or less a condensed version of what they’ve been doing, at least a combination of their first two albums. They started off as more straightforward pop-punk and turned more into a pop-rock / alt-rock band, whereas this album is a good mix of the two. It’s only 29 minutes, and the album has a nice summery feel to it, so listen to it while the summer is still left. The lyrics are a little corny, and syrupy sweet at times, but that’s how this band has always been, only they upped the ante this time. It has some good hooks, and their vocalist is the best he’s ever sounded, as his nasally sound in his voice from the last couple albums has almost been smoothed out, but this was a pleasant album from front to back (not to mention, there’s a great little sax solo on the album that really surprised me).

Movements - Ruckus!

Movements is a band that I’ve always been mixed on; I loved their debut EP from 2016, but I haven’t cared for anything else they’ve done. They went from a post-hardcore band to pop-punk and then to shoegaze / indie, and their last LP was a very slow and monotonous album that I couldn’t sit still while listening to. It was very boring, despite not being bad. With their third album, though, they switched up their sound again and the title of it, Ruckus, is oddly fitting, being that this album ups the volume and energy of their last album. This thing is still rooted in post-hardcore, but there’s an alt-rock influence that rears its head throughout it. The songs are catchier, more fun, and less sad. Their lyrics have always been focused on mental health, which is great, but their vocalist has revealed that he is in a very good headspace and didn’t want to keep writing about that, especially since it would come off as fake and disingenuous, but the album is more positive and more fun this time around. Nothing that blows my mind, or really sticks around for me minus more than a handful of listens, but still really good stuff.

Crying in Miami- Chase Stokes

A/N: Based on the song above, thanks to @pankowforlife for finding it for me! I really am proud of this one so I hope you guys enjoy it!

I was getting ready to go out with my friends for the first time in months, scrolling through photos from Chase and I on previous nights we had gone out in Miami. “Dude, stop killing yourself! He’s not going to come back! It was ONE week.” My friend said, fighting to take my phone out of my hand. “It was the best week of my life Mel, I swear that was the most fun I’d had in years.” She shook her head, “he is already back in LA, you know this. Back with his ex and moving on. You should too.” She places a comforting hand on my shoulder as I out my phone in my purse, heading out.

—-----

“Chase stop!” I laughed as he tickled my sides, taking me down to the bed with him. “I can’t! It’s too much fun to mess with you!” I hop off the bed and grab his phone to take a picture as he stands on the bed, flipping me off with both hands and a huge smile on his face. “Alright let’s go! I want to go before all the VIP tables are taken”, his friends said. I roll my eyes, grabbing his hand and following behind him. It was a beautiful spring evening so he wrapped his arms around me as we waited for our Uber to pick us up.

We made it back to the hotel, stumbling as usual given the bottle service we had taken advantage of. Chase and I crawled into bed, stripping out of our clothes and making out softly as we felt each other up. He intertwined our hands and buried his face in my neck, kissing it softly. “I never want to live without you..” I mumbled, hoping he hadn’t heard. He obviously did though, because his head popped up soon after. “Wait, really?” I nod, “Seriously. I’ll go wherever you go.” He kissed me passionately and pulled away, “you’ll never have to.”

—---

I was pulled out of my daydream by my phone going off. 

@hichasestokes posted a photo

I slowly opened the notification and saw that he posted a selfie, hair wet, his signature pouty lips and the lights casting shadows on his beautiful face. The sun was just starting to set in LA, bringing out the orange and gold flecks in his gorgeous eyes as he looked at the camera. I sigh as I close my phone, wishing as every second goes by that I could see those beautiful eyes in person. Knowing that he was almost 3,000 miles away made my eyes fill with tears. I fought them off as we pulled up to the club and straightened my dress, waiting for my friends to get out as well. I immediately went to the bar, ordering the strongest drink I could think of and opening a tab. My only goal was to get drunk and hopefully get him off my mind. 

—--

I woke up to a letter on the nightstand that next morning. “Dear Y/N, I’m sorry I left on short notice. I’ll be back soon and we will take that drive to see the sunrise on the coast that you wanted. I can’t wait to come back and see you. This is so hard, but I couldn’t wake you. You looked so beautiful and peaceful. Goodbye, see you soon. Sincerely, Chase.”

—---

After a few drinks, I stuck my hand in my clutch, hand touching the piece of signature paper from his moleskin journal and his beautiful handwriting scrawled across it, and pulled it out. I looked at it for a few minutes before I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Hi, would you like to dance?” A blonde man asked me. He was cute, no comparison to Chase, but cute, so I said yes and followed him to the dancefloor. I had fun for a while, moving around the dancefloor, having fun before he tried to pull me closer to him. I let him for a second until I realized they weren’t the hands I wanted. I realized that these hands were cold and clammy and soft, whereas the ones I want are warm, calloused and rough. I wanted Chase and nobody else. I excused myself, stepping outside to get some air. I pulled the letter back out of my bag, holding it in my hands and rereading it over and over as I finally let the tears spill over. “Please come back.. Please” I whimper, holding the letter close as I cried harder. 

“Y/N?” I heard from behind me, thinking it was the man I had been dancing with, I replied, “I just need a few minutes alone, please go back inside!” I felt someone sit next to me, he grabbed my arm softly and I immediately knew it was the man from inside. “Please, leave me be. I really don’t want to be with you right now!” When he didn’t leave, I begged again, “Please, LEAVE!” As he reached out for me again, I felt him be yanked back. “She said no dude, go back inside.” I’d know that voice anywhere. It was the voice that was attached to the man in my memories that broke my heart. “Fine man, geez.” The guy got up to leave and went inside without a look back in my direction. I looked down at my feet, trying to force my tears to dry themselves. 

He reached for the letter in my hand and grabbed it from me, sighing. “I’m so sorry…” he said. I sniffled and looked at him. “You didn’t answer my calls, or texts, you just didn’t seem to care that you broke me, so why are you here?” “Because I do care. I feel horrible for the way I treated you and I was miserable too so I came back. I had to make it right and see you.” I scoff, “It’ll take a lot more than this. I hope you know that.” He nods, “I do, and I’m willing to do what it takes. I miss you Y/N and I promised to take you with me and I will from now on. No more letters or leaving in the middle of the night.” I just nod and wipe the mascara off my face. Chase smiles at me. “Now let’s get your drunk ass some McDonald’s and go watch the sunrise?” I smile at him and nod. “Yes please.”

hum hum hum danhausen going through a little bit of a rough heat and starts humping anything that stays still long enough and eventually he finds trent

(i’m a starletta truther and kris will always be the galaxy’s greatest alien TO ME)

so when trent feels someone drape over his back and rut against his ass he automatically assumes it’s kris needing an outlet for her arousal

when he turns and sees danhausen’s face all screwed up with frustration and pleasure he just… lets him keep going and looks back down at his phone. doesn’t hurt him so why would it bother him?

(hook finds danhausen ten minutes later, still going at it on trent, and drags him away. trent just tells danhausen to take it easy and drink lots of water. hook feels like he’s the only normal man in this fucking company.)

#hookhausen #something about trent just… being a weirdo human that lets his alien gf and random ghoul hump him is something that can be so personal #trent doesn’t give a fuck

Jimmy Woodard and Robert Townsend in Hollywood Shuffle (Robert Townsend, 1987) Cast: Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Craigus R. Johnson, Helen Martin, Starletta DuPois, David McKnight, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Lou B. Washington, Brad Sanders, John Witherspoon, Eugene Robert Glazer, Lisa Mende, Dom Irrera. Screenplay: Robert Townsend, Keenen Ivory Wayans. Cinematography: Peter Deming. Production design: Melba Katzman Farquhar. Film editing: W.O. Garrett. Music: Udi Harpaz, Patrice Rushen. Fifteen years ago, Vanity Fair ran an article about how Robert Townsend's Hollywood Shuffle hadn't aged in its then-30 years of existence. But in their essentials, neither the article nor the movie has aged since then. Granted, some of the movie's satiric targets, like the TV reviews of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert or the search for Eddie Murphy clones, are no longer fresh, and movie and TV stereotypes are somewhat more self-consciously maintained today. Now, Townsend would probably be lampooning the Magical Negro stereotype instead of the pimps and hoods that his comedy centers on. And Hollywood Shuffle is a little more brash and raw than might win critical favor today. Still, as a wakeup call for Black artists and for white audiences, the movie still rings true and cuts deep.
