154. EMOTION SICKNESS by Mediocre

This 2020 EP released by two friends who are still in college is anything but mediocre (an unfortunate choice of a band name, in my opinion, when trying to search online for them). With a sound somewhere between Sleater Kinney and the Hives (remember them?), you're sure to find a gem or two to latch onto off this record (incidentally, their label has slow-dripped several singles since the release of this EP, so be sure to check those out if you like what you hear). Personally, I'd start out with 'Cloud 9,' 'Dread' and 'Intracranial' (this physician loves that song title!).
