B-Movie | Remembrance Day | 1987 Maxi Single Review

B-Movie was a post-punk band from Mansfield, England that formed in 1978. They gained popularity in the early 1980s with their catchy and danceable synth-driven tracks, creating memorable pop melodies with deep emotional resonance. “Remembrance Day” was one such track. Originally released in 1981 as a single, it appeared on their debut album Forever Running in 1985 before reappearing as a Maxi-Single in 1987.

Fontaines D.C. Skinty Fia Sessions Vinyl

Fontaines D.C. | Skinty Fia Sessions | 10-Inch Rough Trade Exclusive Review

Skinty Fia, the 2022 album by Fontaines DC, was one of my Top 10 Records of 2022. And my list isn’t the only one that saw it place high on the standard year-end lists. The album is astonishingly good from start to finish with several powerhouse tracks that warrant countless repeat listens. I can’t tell you how many times I listened to the hard-to-pronounce opener or “Roman Holiday” or even “I Love You.”

I’ve covered Built to Spill quite a bit of late here on FensePost as I’ve started working through reviewing and even unboxing everything in my collection.

Yo La Tengo This Stupid World Vinyl

Yo La Tengo | This Stupid World | Album Review

It’s funny; when I think of a modern indie rock band that’s been around for some time and never really took a hiatus, I can’t help but think they formed when I was in high school. And by that I mean the mid to late 90s. Enter Yo La Tengo, who just released their LP This Stupid World in 2023. The band formed all the way back in 1984. That’s closing in on 40 years!
