***Tricky FM's music is super lush, glitchy, and ethereal. She plays many shows in the Bay often as the black sheep on a bill with all shoegaze, alt rock, or industrial bands. She has the backing of the local rock scene, and support from her old town of Austin TX. FFO: Sweet Trip, Pink Panteress, Yuele, Ecco2K.

***Maybe songs grow like flowers. You water them or let them wilt. Eventually you have enough to pick and make a bouquet, ugly thorny or not. Welcome Strawberry's statement of a debut draws musical influence from genres like shoegaze, psychedelic, and indie rockâhowever Cyrus, the brain behind the music, sources the record's primarily influences as film (especially those of Gregg Araki), literature (think My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Moshfegh), and nineties video games like Tekken. The results are carefully stitched fantasias for future and present daydreams. Welcome Strawberry is currently located in Oakland.

***"I never did sleep well in this society" screams Vanessa on the opening track of Cheree's Factory. As you might expect from an industrial/noise/punk debut, their sound is characterized by harsh pummeling guitars over a pounding drum machine with biting vocals spitting anti-capitalist lyrics, feedback, and the occasional sample. Cheree is a 4-piece band from Oakland, CA, that started in 2021 and in the short time they've been playing as a band, they've earned a reputation as the bay area's loudest and best industrial projects in a while. LP pressed on limited clear vinyl in an edition of 200 copies.
