When putting this year of post into perspective, I think the best place to go is the very beginning. In our first column from this year I remarked at the fact that right from the get go 2019 was shaping up to be an absolute gangbusters year for post-rock. January…
The Load-In Now this is more like it. After a couple of leaner months, we can always depend on October to deliver the goods with a brace of great shows. So much so, that I can pick and choose a bit on what I am going to write about in…
