Shake Appeal is Pitchfork deputy news editor Evan Minsker’s survey of loud, gnarly, garage-style rock‘n’roll. Back in the summer, he listed 20 favorites from the first half of the year. Here’s some more from the past six months, listed in alphabetical order. Put ‘em all together and you’ve got a list, if you’re into that sort of thing.

On their fourth album, Ausmuteants remain indispensable, self-aware, and funny as hell. The Australian synth punks outline the questions they’re asked in interviews (“Music Writers”) and how their music is described on the internet (“Band of the Future”). As usual, the best moments occur when Ausmuteants operate at a rapid-fire, breakneck pace (“Spankwire” and “Mr. Right”).

Baus: Will Be Right Back (Not Normal Tapes)

At a glance, the Oakland trio write catchy, sing-along choruses (“Rutt”). Further prodding reveals music that’s more erratic than all that—songs where aggression and funk glom together (“Persona”), anthemic riffs emerge from chaos (“LTD”), and multiple voices throw the listener off the scent. In just six tracks, Baus offer a record that’s as fun as it is elusive.

BIB: POP (Deranged/Erste Theke Tonträger)

The bark and the howl draws you into POP, but it’s the Omaha hardcore band’s relentless pummel that keeps you along for the ride. Feedback bleeds from one vicious track to the next, where organ melodies shriek and guitars blare. One song is called “Anxiety”—an overwhelming feeling that stays in the body when you hear to this thing.
