It&#8217;s radiant, and at times, a blissful record that neatly captures the lyrical wisdom of Joey Ashworth through topics such as progressive politics, self-acceptance and the complexities of young love and life. Its blend of beauty and angst makes for a compelling set of songs. Ultimately, it&#8217;s a thoroughly honest and potent album.<\/p>\n<p>As their reputation has grown for the best part of a year, <b>itoldyouiwouldeatyou<\/b> have organically created a like-minded community who have found a connection with their take on politics, philosophy and intellectualism. Their emergence is firmly embedded in a DIY ethos which is threaded throughout independent music.<\/p>\n<p>In the leadup to the release of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Oh Dearism&#8217;<\/em>, we asked\u00a0<strong>itoldyouiwouldeatyou<\/strong>&#8216;s Joey Ashworth to curate a playlist of essential DIY bands.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/user\/alreadyhearduk\/playlist\/1xTXtxA7iyuX8mrCEyn1gs\" width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>1. Fresh &#8211; Fuck My Life<\/h2>\n<p>I remember exactly where I was when I first heard Fresh play this song live. It just went OFF! When all the vocals come in at the end, I fully lose it.<\/p>\n<h2>2. GLOSS &#8211; Outcast Stomp<\/h2>\n<p>Like a lot of queer kids in the punk scene, GLOSS were really big for me. This track shows their vicious sound so well. I adore this band. I never got to see them live and I miss them so much.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Jeff Rosenstock &#8211; 9\/10<\/h2>\n<p>This is an incredible pop song. It&#8217;s got this 70s piano rock sound to it that I don&#8217;t think was expected by a lot of people, but works so so well. Using this almost camp sound in the music to underscore and contrast the very real sadness in the song.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Kermes &#8211; I Wanna Be Yr Sometimes<\/h2>\n<p>I had the honour of watching this band every night on tour a while early this year. I got to really dig into my understanding of their songs and their performances. There&#8217;s so much passion, of course, but also the songwriting is just streets ahead of so many of us. The melodies feel like instant classics.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Nervus &#8211; Nobody Loses All The Time<\/h2>\n<p>The rhythm to this is so fun on its own, let alone the fact that the melodies are hooky as hell. I thought a lot about this record when we were writing the singles for <em>&#8216;Oh Dearism&#8217;<\/em>. Just good, concise, meaningful pop music.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Gorilla Biscuits &#8211; No Reason Why<\/h2>\n<p>Am I allowed to include 80s DIY in this? Cos I&#8217;m gonna. This track was BIIIIIG for me as a teenager. Just hearing a punk band with that NYHC attitude, yelling about middle-class kids scamming them, blew my mind.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Chance The Rapper &#8211; No Problem<\/h2>\n<p>Ok, first up, yes I do count Chance&#8217;s first mixtape as a DIY release. He did it while he\u00a0was suspended for a week at high school. He was a kid and he came out with this incredible piece of work instead of like, doing homework or whatever. This DIY anthem off his most recent (free) release fucking goes off. A defining moment in music. And he has yet to sign to a major label. He&#8217;s so committed to releasing free music, they had to change the rules of the Grammys just so he could win!<\/p>\n<h2>8. Bomb The Music Industry! &#8211; Vocal Coach<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a track about being self-conscious about how your voice sounds and worrying that your fans deserve better. I can relate to every part of that.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Self Defense Family &#8211; Self Immolation Family<\/h2>\n<p>This track marks the moment I fell in love with this band. It&#8217;s simultaneously so angry and cynical and heartfelt. The &#8216;green light&#8217; bit at the end gets me every time. I&#8217;ve blown my voice singing along to this a number of times.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Granola Suicide &#8211; Consumerist Healthcare<\/h2>\n<p>GS is a great friend of ours. Their photo is the artwork to our single <em>&#8216;Mourn&#8217;<\/em> from last year. This track is one I have to prepare myself to listen to it&#8217;s so emotional. Beautiful and so honest and kind.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"itoldyouiwouldeatyou - Gold Rush [Official Video]\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AUNKLJIxJaE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Oh Dearism\u2019<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0<strong>itoldyouiwouldeatyou<\/strong>\u00a0is released on 16th November on\u00a0<strong>Alcopop!
