MUTT'S August 2026 Playlist

 Listen Here




A playlist dedicated to the heat-induced delirium and bittersweet feeling of the most stressful month of the year. August, for me, is a worrisome month due to the fact that I'm starting college later in the month. It's a month full of conflicting energy. Anxiety due to the "high" points in life. Mosquitoes and heat exhaustion, accompanied by the best nights of your life with the people you love. August has always been a low month for me, but its associations have changed severely. It used to mean saying goodbye to staying in all day doing nothing but chudding about to go back to school. August is the month of impermanent goodbyes. It's the anti-January, a cold, never-ending month with little change, minus the New Year's ball dropping and announcing its inception. August isn't celebrated, but it's a major turn in the year, from the excitement of summer debauchery (if you're living correctly) to the return to normal. The playlist features acts, local and not, such as Ransided, Loganjpg, Sunny Day Real Estate, Gaslight, Fear of God, and The Radio Dept.

Here in Wichita, there's plenty to look forward to. Below are some of the shows going on this month. Thank you to Joe Simpson of Circular Reference ICT for cataloging these.

Interview with Lucas Taylor of This is More Than a Place

Image
I was generously given the opportunity to interview my great friend Lucas Taylor of This is More Than a Place and Soleta. I was rather thrilled to do this because several people had pointed me in his direction for an interview. He's a hot commodity in the experimental scene (considering it's rather small. He *is* a great artist though.) He's been a great inspiration to me as a friend, as well as helpful for my art. As always, thank you to Lucas for allowing this! Your work is admired.  Q: Who are you and what's your deal? A: I am Lucas Taylor/TIMTAP and I have no idea what my deal is Q: How would you describe your sound? And how would you describe your sound to a 6 year old child? A: My sound primarily depends on my mood so it's hard to describe with certainty. If I had to describe my sound to a six year old child it would probably be something like CHUBBA CHUBBA ZEEBO DONWIP TETETETE ZIPPLEFLERB GUBBLY Q: How did TIMTAP start? What was the click in your...

Aug '26: MUTT's 2026 Recommended Releases of the Month + Introduction

Image
I feel it necessary to start this blog off with an introduction. So, what is Music Under Terrible Terms? MUTT is an (independent) music and art specific blog, based in Wichita, KS. MUTT is to focus mainly on the more miscellaneous & outsider aspects of music rather than be focused on news, events, etc, as many other (great) blogs are based upon. born due to the death of BrooklynVegan, I was inspired to create a music blog that bares no similarity to the now gutted press. Somewhat of a "million Charlie Kirks" philosophy. I want to see this blog as a bit of an oddity shop but also as a general appreciation for music and on-going interesting scenes and movements. Expect interviews with musicians, media lists, semi-satire, and art analysis. Where'd the name come from?  I needed something to fit into the acronym MUTT because it sounded cool, simple as. I was inspired by the fact that music, as an art form, is dumbed down to it's social self in a lot of popu...

Interview with Will of Pyrogenetic Waste and Melancholy Dreams

Image
 When first starting this blog, I asked on Instagram to be contacted by experimental artists in the Wichita scene. A big ask for an account with zero posts or cred or whatnot, but I have a great appreciation for every artist who dares to be extreme or experimental in their work. This is the first interview of this series. I was graciously contacted by Will of Melancholy Dreams, Mechanical Defleshing, Pyrogenetic Waste, and Home Invasion. Q: Who are you and what's your deal? A: My name's Will, and I have a big passion for everything extreme. I LOVE making music. I'm in a few projects: Melancholy Dreams (beatdown hardcore) Mechanical Defleshing (brutal death metal) Pyrogenetic Waste (hyperblasting goregrind) and Home Invasion (power electronics). My biggest goal and deal is trying to help the Wichita scene flourish and be more diverse with my projects, one step at a time! Q: What really made it click that making extreme music was for you? What are some of your influences? (mu...
