Tons of Gobs releases dropped on the Bandcamp this year, I expect most of it was previously recorded, but maybe they did their own little Das Kapiab]ns thing, who knows? (Who cares?)
s/r cassette in February, broader release on La Vida Es Un Mus in June under the title "Victory Belongs To Those Who Fight For A Right Cause." At first I thought this was an all-women H/C band in Tangier, but the band is not located there. https://maximumrocknroll.com/article/mecca-for-me-is-the-representation-of-capitalism-taqbir/
Lot of output from these guys this year, culminating in Crawler, which is very good, but I have to admit this one made the biggest impact on me. This is what I want, this is what you get.
Somethin' in the water in Hamilton, Ontario, because there is a shit ton of good music coming out of that town. CS also features the best Pagans cover of 2021 but I'm not playing that this morning. O Canada!
