First, The Chisel (whom he plays guitar for) released their killer sophomore album \u201cWhat A Fucking Nightmare\u201d, making the move to Pure Noise Records for the first time and turning heads with their driving but catchy street punk ragers, and then Charlie\u2019s more pub-rock-meets-hardcore side project Chubby And The Gang released their third full length and debut for Baltimore\u2019s Flatspot Records \u201c\u2026And Then There Was\u2026\u201d came out in the late fall.The latter let&nbsp; hubby Charles get the booz ballads and barroom laments out of his system after rocking out with his boots and braces out on The Chisel\u2019s album earlier in the year (which I also talked about on the show not long after it was first released. All in all two great sets of tunes with slightly different vibes from some longtime scene vets over on the UK side of things. I swear, Chubby Charles is kind of the Greg Cartwright (Oblivians\/Parting Gifts\/Reigning Sound) of the NWOBHC scene in terms of general songwriting vibes especially on his \u2026And The Gang efforts that were some of my favorite music of the year, alongside his more raging punk stuff with The Chisel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Denial is a River&quot; \/ &quot;Boiled Peanuts&quot; - Doechii (LIVE on The Late Show)\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ggg45-e4oj0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Doechii - NISSAN ALTIMA\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iGbeZNqklic?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doechii &#8211; Alligator Bites Never Heal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know I have already talked about Doechii on the show already fairly recently but she really seemed to have a busy back half of 2024 that produced some pretty great stuff. Her \u201cAlligator Bites Never Heal\u201d mixtape was one of my absolute favorite releases of the year to begin with, which the Florida rapper\/singer followed up with an NPR Tiny Desk session, appearances on late night TV, killer sets at Tyler The Creator\u2019s Camp Flog Gnaw festival and Kendrick Lamar\u2019s annual Holiday Toy Drive charity concert, and even landed a handful of Grammy nominations. It\u2019s really cool seeing an exciting young figure in one of my favorite genres of music get accolades like that based on some pretty great music kinda all at once after taking a few years to kind of get on her feet in artistry and life and stuff (as detailed in one of the breakout tracks from the mixtape, \u201cDenial Is A River\u201d). I feel like with a couple of notable exceptions, the more pop end of things doesn\u2019t always embrace women in hip hop who can rap their asses off like Doechii can but she is seriously one of the more impressive emcees of any gender in the game currently and worth keeping an eye on for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chat Pile - Frownland (Official Video)\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/imc6v2s5p48?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chat Pile - Funny Man (Official Video)\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YnDWVWZrZrE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chat Pile &#8211; Cool World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last of the three albums I\u2019ve talked about on the show recently that I had to bring up again in terms of favorites of the year, and it\u2019s a doozy. An ugly lumbering collection of sludgy noise rock meets nu metal meets post hardcore meets just sheer volume and angst and venom over churning basslines and eerie guitars from these Oklahoman misanthropes. This album and the bands work on the whole does have some obvious reference points here and there but they put it all together in a way that just feels so refreshing and skull crushing at the same time. I mean, this is the second episode in a row I have been singing their praises so that has to count for an something. Seriously, if you like any sort of heavier music you need to go seek out Chat Pile\u2019s latest full length. Like really, just go do it. Really, seriously go check it out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"squabble up\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fuV4yQWdn_4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H58vbez_m4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kendrick Lamar &#8211; GNX and the beef<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know, if Kendrick Lamar had just released his quartet of tracks from the summer that completely annihilated and eviscerated the character and life of Aubrey Drake Graham, he could still be said to have had a pretty good year, but with his latest full length GNX arriving on their heels and paying homage to some on Kenny\u2019s favorite artists and biggest inspirations, he kind of rules 2024. It\u2019s wild to see how huge Not Like Us became, like a legit phenomenon and one if his biggest hits in a good few years, despite that it spends a good part of its runtime calling another artist out by name for being a pedophile. Like seriously, an EP of just Euphoria, 6:16 in LA, Meet The Grahams and Not Like Us outdoor maybe be my pound for pound favorite release of the year, but GNX, which arrived out of nowhere in late November was just icing on the cake. It\u2019s twelve tracks pay tribute to inspirations and mentors like Nipsey Hussle and Nas alongside a heavy dose of classic West Coast hip hop sounds, and it was awesome to finally hear the full \u201cSquabble Up\u201d after it was teased at the beginning of the Not Like Us video. This was the year Kendrick Lamar had a real fire inside him unlike any in recent memory and his musical output really shows it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Knocked Loose &quot;Suffocate&quot; Ft.

I had heard their name and knew they were getting a bit of popularity outside of the more metallic end of modern hardcore but was kind of shocked to see sun-baked influencers in flower crowns stage diving to their music on the YouTube stream of this year\u2019s Coachella. Here\u2019s the thing, it\u2019s no surprise to me that a band from the metalcore scene started crossing over into a more mainstream metal and all around popular audience, but the fact that one as raw and straight up heavy and punishing as Knocked Loose has started to draw that audience, while still on a small label is impressive indeed. Hell, they even scared some members of the audience to the point that they complained to the network during their late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel not that long ago. This is music to be played very loud through very good speakers that can properly handle the sheer low end punishment of some of their riffs, and a perfect soundtrack to putting your foot through a wall or something while flailing your arms wildly around the room to the tune of this gang of corn-country misanthropes and their harshly shrieked meditations on the ugly side of life and the soul.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"302\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/analogue-trope.ca\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/200.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-917\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alkaline Trio - Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs (Official Music Video)\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CprfYX6hij4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matt&#8217;s notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m trying to see how rendering the notes mostly through handwriting works!
