Cincinnati: great ballpark, very nice zoo featuring the world famous hippo Fiona, and the American Sign Museum is super cool. Good city. Shoutout to the best band from there: @scarletstreet.co
Anna Kornbluh@annakornbluh.bsky.social · 2mo agomidwest discourse is going around and research today involved some WKRP tv history so free associate, people of bsky let's hear your adjectives, appraisals, affections, and shitposts on the topic of cincinnati
So what’s the plan when the GOP doesn’t accept the results of the midterms? We know they’re not going to just allow themselves to lose power, right?
NO ALTERNATIVE was written for the people one mistake away from being forgotten. The ones already behind before anything went wrong. We’ve been quiet because we were still in it. That’s why it sounds the way it does. We see you. NO ALTERNATIVE is yours.
Our Spotify Wrapped Thank you, <listener_username/> for your continued support on this platform ❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️
In 2026 we’re deciding to stick with a crowd that feels home. We’ve struggled all year to find our people, and the “DIY” scene just doesn’t seem to be the answer. If anyone knows where Scarlet Street belongs, let us know.
It's really easy to move away from Spotify and stop funding this shit.

new apfo newsletter! it's APFO LP2's one year anniversary. i reflect on the first four songs on the record, and include voice memos and demos from January 2022, when those songs were written. i even included a demo from an unreleased song from that period called "Look At Love"
What I’m noticing more and more is that people don’t care if something is AI. They like it because it’s entertaining/shares their world view. It’s a losing battle to appeal to these people based on merits of stealing from artists or the environment. They just literally do not care.
Going to post more on here from now on. What have we missed while we were gone?
I wrote about some good new music for you to check out. Ekko Astral: “their raw power is magic” Scarlet Street: “a beacon in the fog” Broken Record: “emo Gin Blossoms Dead Billionaires: “powerful, incisive, catchy songs” Banquets: “soaring melodic punk anthems”

Had a guy in a local band tell me he ‘doesn’t fuck with all the trans people in the scene’ to which I replied ‘is it because they’re so much better at music than you?’ He did not like that answer, lmao. Get fucked bozo.
Might as well just say “I don’t fuck with the scene.” Trans people ARE the DIY scene.

New post! Great new music from @ekkoastral.bsky.social, @scarletstreet.co, @brokenrecord.bsky.social, Dead Billionares, & Banquets. Plus more on the "athletically allergic" and "pathetic" ICE recruits who can't pass an open-book test.

NO ALTERNATIVE is about what happens when the chaos becomes normal, when truth gets replaced by algorithm, & when everything has a price tag. This is the heaviest thing we’ve done, not just in music but in its purpose. It’s for anyone who feels buried and hopeless scarletstreet.lnk.to/NOALTERNATIVE
On this episode I sit down with Ben from @scarletstreet.co We talk about their new album "No Alternative", We're Trying Records 10 year show, and the power of notebooks! Check it out!!! Streaming: linktr.ee/BeersWithBands YouTube: youtu.be/yCuvH92YM_8?...

People need to understand the psychology behind fascist and right-wing ideology. We’ve been told to ignore their intolerance so as not to legitimize them, but the opposite is true: they see the lack of response to their action as victory. It’s when they are met with response that they stand down
This comes out in 48 hours. We worked really hard on it, it’s the most ambitious thing we’ve ever done and we’re mega nervous about what people will think.

We're doing VHS Cassettes for this one! They'll be on sale tomorrow on bandcamp for $20. They are playable in a VCR and contains a collage of footage from the recording process and lyrics alongside the songs. The Cassette will also have RFID access to a digital copy of the LP on Samply.
John Superdestroyer (NCTV 2 out now!)@superdestroyer.diysky.xyz · 11mo agoNCTV2 is out at midnight and I'm so excited for people to hear it! We leaned into rock influences on this one and ended up with an album full of our catchiest, fastest, and heaviest songs yet FFO: Slow Joy, Full Blown Meltdown, The Merrier, Joyce Manor, Anamanaguchi distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...
People on twitter want memes and video game references and I’m not really sure they’ll be receptive to an album about meaningful purpose and societal systems collapsing. Will Bluesky? Because so far we haven’t seen too much love here, either.
