Bandcamp Friday Picks 4

Bandcamp Friday is today, September 5th, 2025. I always like to use these opportunities to both find/support Creative Commons music and thought I'd start sharing some of my picks.

If you're interested in CC music, be sure to checkout the tool I made for finding CC music on BC: cc-bc.

Perifèria Nord by Perifèria Nord

I was randomly browsing through cc-bc links and noticed I was finding a lot of good stuff from Spain, so I thought I'd do a special Spain edition. First up, the self-titled Perifèria Nord. This short EP is dark, upbeat, post-punk goodness complete with dreamy guitars and lush pads over irresistibly danceable drums.

Weed For The Parrots by The Parrots

Another short one, Weed For The Parrots reminds me of Bad Kids-era Black Lips - it's uproarious and unbridled fun pulling from the best parts of early punk and the garage revival.

Nuevo Testamento by La URSS

Not having a firm grasp of the Spanish language, I couldn't tell at first if this was the kind of "wolf in sheep's clothing" subtle Christian Rock that plagued my early CD collection. I suppose the "música satánica" tag should have given it away. What's there to say? It's proper punk: fast, loud, and critical of capitalism.
