Nova Cheq; Nuggiez; Thank; Narcotized Brain Spasms

It's fast approaching CNQ's ten year anniversary, and I'm certain I am the only soul on Earth who gives a shit. And that's fine! The other day I spent an inordinate amount of time messing with my labels on your left side of the screen in the blog's desktop mode, and not 100% pleased with what I did. I was trying to tidy them up. Maybe I'm 90% pleased. Anyway, it's fun to keep a music blog, most of the time! Just a quick dive into new and newish on Bandcamp:

Nova Cheq is electronica from the UK. This Edits Pack Vol 1 was released in April, 2021. Bandcamp page says, "Edits are bootlegs of hip hop/rap songs I love featuring amazing black artists such as: 3 6 Mafia, SL, Childish Gambino, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert and Ramz."

It says proceeds go to the charity forgottenwomen.org

Man, so weird to think I've been doing these Bandcamp dives for 10 years. It's nice to have a hobby.

From Auckland, New Zealand, Nuggiez has a new 12 track album due out next month called Toil in the Time of Monsters. Two songs are available for listen now, "The Creeps" and "U Against U." Good post-punk.

I love Thank, and they have a 4 track live release called Live @ Little Buildings, which you oughta purchase immediately, so they can put that money towards another album, or whatever they wanna do with their gottdang money:

Barbaric noisecore!
