IDLE RITES recommends:
Automatic Midnight
by Hot Snakes
ALL of the Hot Snakes albums are FANTASTIC, but I thought we'd pick the first one, as I still remember how mind blowing it was, and so much more focused and lean as compared to Drive Like Jehu

The first album may be more consistent, but this one has some of their best songs on it, including "History's Stranglers" and "Shitty Future"
go to album
Every Fugazi record is a classic in its own right, but I keep coming back to Repeater for how incredibly consistent it is, banger after banger, song for song their most up tempo and inspiring record!
