This is 'Future Fortune' from West Springfield, Massachusetts' hardcore punk outfit RESTRAINING ORDER, and mark this down as the THIRD punk LP I'm annoyed I missed for my lists last year (for those keeping track, the other two are Kaleidoscope and Imploders).

This album fucking RIPS. The dude's voice is awesome. Sound maybe like old Minor Threat, Black Flag, Briefs vibes, Clash flair, slightly heavier. Some AMAZING, riffy, catchy hardcore punk. Killer dynamics, song structures, (even key changes - gasp!) just a FANTASTIC record from an incredible punk band I'm glad I spotted via the collection of early recordings they just put out.

Wanted to make a list of my favorite EPs from 2025- narrowed it down to a top 10, from over 200 I'd liked and documented this year. The list contains multiple genres & I've written a brief blurb about each. Most of these I've talked about here this year. Might be something here for everyone!

Mood Bored - Too Much? (shoegaze/alt rock from the Netherlands with great female vocals - Breeders, Pixies, that dog, Throwing Muses vibes)
https://moodboredband.bandcamp.com/album/too-much

Top Dollar - Objects of Misfortune (well produced, tight hardcore punk from New York- Jerry's Kids meets Floorpunch, or MDC, even - killer drums)
https://11pmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/objects-of-misfortune

Sectarian Defacement - Chaotic Demiurge (tight, catchy brutal deathgrind from Kyiv, Ukraine)
https://sectariandefacement.bandcamp.com/album/chaotic-demiurge

Trompeta - Fastfood (bizarre, synthy, Krautrock-tinged, spacey, surreal, Throbbing Gristle-esque electronica with sparse vocals, from Benicarló, Spain)
https://trompetatrompeta.bandcamp.com/album/fastfood

Spy - Seen Enough (ripping, raw, rough, unforgettable California punk - loud, feedbacky, intense)
https://spyhc.bandcamp.com/album/seen-enough

Bullfinch - Louse (riffy, catchy, groovy unique sludge from Glasgow)
https://bullfinchsludge.bandcamp.com/album/louse

Putrid Requiem - Engulfed in Rot... You Lay (cavernous, crusty, grody debut from Saint Petersburg, Russia band- maybe my #1 favorite metal EP of 2025)
https://putridrequiem.bandcamp.com/album/engulfed-in-rot-you-lay

Dripped - Utopia of Euphoric Envisionment (brutal death from Perth, Australia- Dripped had one of my favorite LPs in 2023, and are one of my favorite metal bands - so consistent) https://dripped.bandcamp.com/album/utopia-of-euphoric-envisionment

Cytophagia - Spewed from Festering Sludge (3 brief songs of great riffy, dynamic goregrind from Slovakia)
https://calvos73records.bandcamp.com/album/spewed-from-festering-sludge

Brain Matter - Divine Opulence (dynamic, ripping, chugging death with some doom from Fort Worth, Texas, via Iron Corpse)

For #GrindayFriday this week, a big favorite since discovering them a year ago- New York's LIPOMA. Lipoma is one dude (Max Pierce) who writes & records all this. I mentioned Lipoma in April, but today new LP 'No Cure for the Sick' is out and it's DAMN great. More melodic, unique guitar riffing, and some really wild, odd stuff on this one - one song has organ in it. With pathological goregrind vocals. 😂 Weird, gross, wonderful.

Okay, it's a gross one. I really DO try to post grind other than goregrind if possible every week, even though goregrind is my main love. 😂 This week's #GrindayFriday is a new one I've been digging. Akron, Ohio's HISTOLOGIST just released new LP 'Deep Biopsy Needed for Necrotic Pathology' and this thing shreds. There's dynamics, some death metal breakdown creepiness, cool guitar tones, awesome drumming. Really great stuff all around.

This isn't gonna be for everyone, but I dig the new Yung Lean single. Video's wild, too

This one might be kind of an acquired taste, but once it has its hooks in, well..

Yung Lean (Jonatan Aron Leandoer Håstad) is a Swedish (experimental) rapper and multi-instrumentalist who has a new one coming this year (and the single is a BANGER, I love the weird sing-songy nature, and it's a great video, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjYkr78anZs).

I've been going through Yung's back catalog today, as I'm fairly unfamiliar. Turns out, he's diagnosed bipolar (properly medicated now), fronts post-punk band Död Mark, and also releases indie rock/neofolk stuff as Jonatan Leandoer96.

The production on this stuff is wild. I wasn't too into his first mixtape, but even by his first LP in 2014, he's really making some amazing shit. But full album wise, I feel like he really starts hitting hard around 2020's LP 'Starz'. Psyched to hear his new one 'Jonatan' later this year in May.
